ok, I'm a preteen trying to get my family out to LA. First of all, how much do tickets cost, and second of all, how do I earn, and save enough money for the trip?

How far is the trip? You should go to www.orbitz.com and check out airfare prices, because I assume you'd have to fly. Driving is different if you can do that: you can figure out how many miles it is by www.mapquest.com and then figure the cost at 40 cents per mile, including gas and depreciation and oil and things like that. Or maybe if you just figure on gas, and figure that your family car might get 20 miles to the gallon, do the math that way.

If you're a preteen, you then have to figure out ways to get money. Can you shovel snow or mow lawns? Can you take some babysitting classes and learn how to babysit? Can you tutor other kids for money?

Why is this important to you? Do you want to visit or move? Is it something you can share with your parents? Because they'll need to arrange for vacation time if you are going to take a trip. If you want to move to LA to be in theatre or something, then you need to start taking acting classes where you are and show them that you could make it in LA by getting an agent.

think of roughly whether what you're spending it on is what you genuinely desire. there's a lot 'stuff' in the international. maximum of what we purchase we don't genuinely desire and maximum of it only finally ends up in the landfill besides. i began out on a fifteen grand earnings and 5 grand discounts, he has been on minimum salary or zilch (we lived in quite a distant area (with severe assets expenses!). My earnings has now long gone down, his is approximately what mine grew to become into, after only 3 years we now very own a third of our homestead, that's in a nicer area have no enormous expenses and that i artwork area time. we are able to arise with the money for to bypass out for nutrition take a trip, and that i latterly delivered a clothier handbag that I had needed for a while and a while! Yeah we do skate on skinny ice now and lower back, yet existence is approximately high quality no longer quantity, once you may artwork with only what you desire lots of the time, then especially circumstances you're able to have a splash of what you want too. i'm satisfied, yet definately no longer wealthy! there's a clean vogue in the direction of frugal residing and not being wasteful. that's getting quite widespread. that's superb to sense which you're able to be thrifty and fashionable on the comparable time. look at Freecycle Bookcrossing Oxfam (celebrities are procuring there!) Have nights out in now and lower back quite of going out each and every weekend. get exhilaration from high quality.
