.....part time after school, my first check was like 170 something I think......nikka you was rich![]()
Far from it. Since it was a summer gig, that $ had to hold a nikka for the entire school year (i.e. clothes, lunch, etc.). My parents and I didn't have it like that so I had to manage.
(Good as job for a teen not going to lie..sweets all fukin day and breakfast sammiches)

shyt like 270, was a busboy and shyt i thought i was balling, now nikkas shyt is almost ten times that and i feel broke as shyt.
Used to make 12.50 an hour at a meat factory when i was 16. Paychecks were a solid $500 weekly. Saved up 2Gs by the time the summer was done and loaned it to my mom. Spent the rest on probably Candy, Madden 2007, a ps2 controller and some other shyt
?hilarious. lol
first check was when i was 16 and worked a summer job at a legit company doing a little bit of everything (clerical, mail room, working with engineers, etc, basically interning but for a wage. ) i actually was working 40 hours a week. unheard of for most kids. every 2 weeks $400.00 more like $350. no real taxes taken out since i wasnt working long enough to make over the amt you need where you have to file your taxes and claim 0. i claimed 0 + exempt. brought home $700 a month. worked 2 months straight before it was time for school again.
I still remember the look on moms face when she said "ay its time to go shopping for your school clothes." i pulled my wallet out and said...dont worry about it. i got this." life was good
moms was like you serious?
i said yep.
i remember i had enough cash to send my older brother some doe cause he was a broke college student living on the other side of the country. he was like![]()
