I am super excited, my 16yo DD has been applying for jobs for months with no luck and this morning she finally got an interview for a job at a local bounce house place (5 minutes away from home, yay!). Of course we don't know if she got the job yet, but she said the interview went really well.
So my question is, people with teens with jobs, what do you make them pay for with their own money? My DD isn't into fashion at all, she does have a hobby (and etsy store) of making her own jewelry and she likes tech stuff, but she is very frugal by nature. I plan on having her pay me gas money until she gets her license just to get her used to having that expense. I also plan on having her pay me something for insurance, I'm not sure how much yet, it depends how much she makes (I don't want to take too much of her income) and how much insurance actually costs with her on it.
What is a good percentage for her to save? She is planning on going to college so I think she should put something aside for that or her own car because any car we buy her will be shared with her 15yo brother when he gets his license, who will then share with his brother when he gets his license, lol.
