Ditto.

Well in school, my father used to give me around Rs. 10/day for meeting my expenses related to bicycle.
In college it turned to Rs. 50/day for meeting petrol expenses.

I used to be very happy back then.

those Rs. 50 were enough for me an my friends. now even ~Rs. 1000 doesn't seem enough.

I get money only when needed. Pocket money is good as long as you save a bit from whatever you get and use it for a good 'investment'(the quotes, because, each person sees an investment differently

)

Still I'm student but I earn..

How do u guys earn?? I mean what jobs??

I'm a cook at campus dining hall... lol

^^lol.

Well I get 1k per month+all my bills paid(b.band+mobile).I get more if I need,there is no restriction upto a limit.Maybe I have been a good child till now.in school I used to get a 100-200\month.Im happy with what I get,I usually save some bit and spend them on something I want.My college canteen stinks so that saves quite a bit.lol.

If its stuff like food, clothes or just regular day-to-day expenses, my parents give me as much as i ask for. But if i ask for a new cell phone, better pc or faster net, i get a kick up my azz.

I work as a freelance graphics & CAD/3D designer, when I need money. One thing I don't do is to waste money on my GFs, although I have no problem in wasting money on G-Fs because G-Fs stay more & are more close to me then GFs *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/9.gif

Hello guys,

I know that many person here get what he needed from parents. Our parents give money for books, study purpose(institutions, colleges, tutions, etc.), for buying favourate cloths etc.
But u ever think what our parents do when asked for money to watch movies, to go with gf, to buy games and for whatever we can't say to dad or those things(not illegals and crimes) which our parents things are money wastages. That's where the pocket money plays a vital role. So, my opinion is in favour of getting pocket money.
I think everyone/teenagers (who are not earing by themselves but still studing) deserves a limit pocket money either it may be 200/- or 500/- or 1000/-. But it should not be given above the childs' requirements. If a teenager get more than his requirements then either he keeps it for future use or spend it. There is less number of persons who keeps the left money for future use but there r more persons who spend it on illegal things like drinking whisky etc or for whatever is totally illegal and crime. Bcaz this is the age when teenagers get carried away by the fantasies which they later realize are false as they are not totally matured. This things happen mostly with rich family where guardian gives whatever his child asks and donot pay attention towards his child expenditures.
So, I want to draw attention of whole people here that if u get pocket money or more pocket money than u actually need then u should not waste it on illegal things rather save it for ur future use or give it to those person who needed it most like beggers/hungry peoples/poors child fund etc., therefore helping others. I appreciate the thinking of peoples like krazyfrog but they/he also realize/confirm that the money they/he have/has given to other person should not be used for fun but for their important/required/needed work.
As different peoples have different thinkings so inspite of having same earnings/incomes one's parent give less money than the other's. So, if some people get less money then don't get depressed or feel inferior just think that ur guardian want to teach u the lesson of the importance of money. Uhh.. That's all from me.

grr....who said drinking beer is illegal!!

Exactly what I was going to quote! ^^^

I mean to say drinking at a little age like 12,13 etc. understand?

I don't know but my parents/my friends' parents think so. Therefore I written like this. Anyway, it may be a my mistake, sorry for that. But grab the intention behind the purpose of writting this post.

Yep. Don't drink beer. Drink Pepsi/coke so it can screw up your teeth, intestines, and basically screw up your internals. Now I'm not saying go out there and drink beer, but there are a lot of things we do that sometimes appear to be harmless, but are in fact worse than the 'illegal' ones you've mentioned.

Yeah U r right too. I think that I have wrongly written it(bear) so im going to delete it.

i get a straight 1500/pm . but i never really spend that much , mostly gets saved n then i spend all the whole bunch on a videogame

lolz yeah , i remember i first bought a PS1 , then a Dreamcast n now an Xbox 360 all with my collected pocketmoney . n as i bought the 360 this october i'm currently broke with just 1k in my locker . guess i'll have to start saving again :sigh:

How nice ZEESHAN !!!!!!!

None, But i can ask whenever i want

T

I used to get none. I asked when I wanted. Was a real nice boy back then so hardly wasted even Rs. 1 on anything else than books and Luna / Bike

I quote from my latest blog post:
*goobimama.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-got-pocket-money.html

I was clearing some bills with my mom today, when after paying for all the bills, she pulls out a hundred (that's Rs. 100) and says, "Here, some pocket money..."

It's been quite a while now since I got my last dose of pocket money, and I must say, I realise now how much I miss it! It's amazing! It comes out of no work on my part, it is guilt-free, and there's no strings attached. I am now so excited. I don't know what to buy with it. Just to go and blow it up on some juice (juice as in fruit juice) or get some ice cream. Or maybe something non-perishable like one of those wonder-balls, which bounce really high. Any suggestions?

lol,yea pocket money is cool.I wonder sometimes will I be able to spend my hard earned money like I spend my parents's hard earned cash! I'll have to wait to get the answers till then pocket money rules!

Rs.0

Have to make my own LOL

When you get old, thats the trouble, you wil have to make your own pocket money

none ... i can ask whenever i want .. but i still prefer to earn my own ..

^^arre bhai tum log kaise paise earn karte ho?I mean I find it nearly impossible!

arre yaar ... jo bhi kaam mil jaaye .... like part time tutions ... PC assembling ya troubleshooting ... any webdesign project ...jo mil jaaye wohi achha ....

Devil, create a successful blog on your own. Put up google ads. Earn money, if you manage to pull a crowd.

There are a lot of ways. Programming, making blogs and managing, content editor, data conversion, data entry and a lot of stuff you can do online and earn money. Only thing is go ethical always, work hard and be honest and sincere always and I am sure you will start earning good $$$ soon.

Also, you should have patience as it takes sometime to start getting $$$.

^^patience is what I don't have!I do manage a blog but rarely write(I just made it to see how adsense works).

Anyways now I have started investing money a lil bit.Hope to earn enough to bear my expenses.

investing in what? stocks? me 2.
And yea blogging is boring. even i did the same as u did.

^^yea,going to get MY PAN card made in january.But This stock thingy consumes too much time and require too much attention which is not possible cos I need to study too.Gonna invest just small amounts initially.to tell you the truth I dont know what to do!I guess I should just concentrate on studies and dont worry about earning\money,If I could get a good job or maybe clear CAT\IAS or something.....long shots but not impossible.lol.I just want to get into investment cos I don't want a 9 to 5 IT job which 1.)I won't get cos I am gonna get too many backs 2.)sux anyway.

No dude. Stocks is a good way to go. You can make your entire living just sitting at home (not the right way to think, but still it is possible). Of course, you have to study the stocks properly to make good judgements.

If you don't want to take too much trouble, and don't mind a slightly slower earning, then invest in mutual funds. They don't require much attention and can easily double you cash within a year or two (if you know when to remove it and such).

i get around 600-1000 rs per month for misc. expenses. anything above that like earphones, headphones, gadgets, b.band, comp upgrades etc. come over and above this

I hav already started investing thru my dad's demat account.
Its damn interesting.. but is risky too.
btw hav u finished ur engg?

Goobi No mutual fund gives such high rate of returns.. I think it is better to directly invest in stocks..
R u also a investor?

One of my dearest friend is into it neck deep,I am currenty learning from him.Like I said it requires too much time and requires too much attention.
We got brains but no time you see.

haven't seen many mutual funds doubling money in 1-2 years.And besides its for people who don't want any risk,not for us! no risk no gain!! we want fast bucks!.

@pathinks:nope,I am in 3rd semester,same as you.(I got ECE though and cudn't hate engineering more,And can you beleive I left MBBS to do engg,lol,stupid me).

And yea make your own demat account boy! I am getting my PAN card made in january after that I'll open my own demat account.Lets see what happens.

Well I'm not heavy into investing though I plan on doing some serious stuff after I do the 1 hour talk with my Uncle (He's a god with the stocks). Till then I just let my investment broker take care of all my investments (mainly mutual funds). And yes, such a feat is possible, especially with the way the indian market is booming.

BTW devil it doesnt take too much time if u do short term trading.
Though Intra-day literally takes ur whole day. BTW goobi which mutual funds r u invested in? and wat returns are u getting?

and intra-day is where the real money is! short-term trading is as good a mutual funds or even putting your money in FD or something.

But it requires too much time.
Intra-day me u can actually earn an infinite amount of money..
but usme ek baar lag gai to lag gai.

thats what I am saying,It requires too much time.And chances of losing money is close to nothing if you got some brains and don't act too greedy.Just be normal and everything is gonna be good the moment greediness creeps in,you are sure to start facing loses.

Also, forgot to mention, I have some investments in Reliance (not sure what exactly in reliance, but it's reliance for sure).

^^lols noob.Reliance is safe deposit,nothing more than that.Keep them for your retirement.

Well, yeah! I don't really want to put all my money into high risk stocks do I? This one gives me 15% p.a. + bonuses every six months. All I have to do is put in 3k per month. I also plan on putting back my money into a mutual fund once the stock market crashes and by that time I will have learnt how to do stock trading from my uncle. So there will be three layers of high risk, medium risk, and low risk. A good investment strategy says my mom.

Now don't you dare nominate me for NOTW or something...

i said noob cos you said yu don't know where your money is invested.lols,I have some investments in Reliance (not sure what exactly in reliance, but it's reliance for sure)..lols.

well i get 900-1k per month.haven't asked anything in the past 6mnths coz i'm gonna drop a bomb of my 30k upgrade

I also don't get any monthly pocket money.
But I get everything reasonale I ask for including minor PC upgrades and a new internet plan once a year and stuff...
But when I need big stuff like new cell or a laptop I need to shell out my google adsense earnings to get them

I am also looking for good investing options like goobi..this 15% pa+bonuses seems pretty attractive..only downside...3k per month deposit!
I hope to start earning that much and more by next year

^^ that much by ur blog alone??

^lol I was wondering too! ALl I have managed by adsense is .89$ in 2 months.lols.

Well i had managed $52 in a month in a mobile site about 2 years back but my adsense account was banned because all the users used gprs and had the same IP.. so no payment..

^^I have a ill-maintained blog not a mobile warez site!

^^ Ha.. mere blog ki halat to tere se bhi gai guzri hai..

^^matlab .89$ bhi nahi?

You can consider the personal Provident fund from State bank of India. Minimum 1000 per year max 70000, interest is around 8%, you get the account for minimum 20 years and you can not withdraw before account is 5 year old.

@pathiks
Yes I earned around 30k from my blog this year through adsense and other sources...thats nothing comapred to what drgrudge aka ashwin manages

Will start looking into other arenas such as content writing and stuff to earn more...
The only problem is that if I don't invest the money I will spend it on something useless....

@kumarmohit
8% is too less...I need around 12-13% atleast :lol:

^yea grudgy has a very good blog indeed.

goobi's blog is good too but where is adsense?lol.

but 30k is very good .I guess I should take blogging seriously.

I'll make Rs. 10 at most if I put ads on my blog... talk of grapes and daffy duck isn't going to get me any revenue...

^^ That is the limit of humility.. BTW ankur go the stocks way.. You wont regret.

hmm...tht seems the only option for now...I still have time to get the money in my hands

I will also try my luck!!!

earned 5 $ in past 6 months
the worse condition

^^haha,maine to ummed his chod di hai..89$ in 2 months,lol,some 4-5 clicks only.I better divert my energy towards study\stocks.
