Teen: $1500

Woo! You're free! No more school, no more parents! You're earning your own money, (and it's more than you've ever had). Life is good. Who needs higher education, anyway? You're making good cash workin' as a burger flipper, and you get plenty of time off to go to parties. What could be better? Of course...you still have choices to make. Do you:

Work hard, taking lots of overtime, struggling to earn enough money for an early retirement
or
Slack off, taking even MORE time off for "personal" reasons.
