I worked in HS, but I turned every paycheck over to him and he gave me $20/week. Turned out later that he put all that $$$ into investments for college, and towards a car.
But man, was I unhappy I couldn't get those Jordan's at the time, lol.

My son who is going to be 12 has insisted I buy him a pair of black and yellow Jordan cleats for football. I refuse to buy them until his feet stop growing. He keeps giving me crap about my Jordan shoe collection and calling me cheap for not buying him the cleats.
I hope he has a similar "a-ha" moment later in life when he realizes his college will be paid for in full and that he won't have to pay for his first car.
