    I may be 14 but i do have a job which brings me about £200 per month, pocket money of £20 and £12.

    And what job is this?
    Because:
    "If you're 13 or 14 ...

    On school days you can only work up to two hours a day, one hour before school and one hour after school. In the school holidays you can work up to five hours a day by for no more than 25 hours in a week and for two weeks of the school holidays, you cannot work at all. On Saturdays, you can work up to five hours and two hours on a Sunday."

    Which means even working every hour allowed during term time, you're on about £3.60. And even then, what employer will hire someone for one hour in the morning, then another hour after school?

    You are very young and I think that with your interest in money at your age you will do very well in life. Work hard and enjoy your life but make sure that you are always saving, you will never go wrong. All the best.

    to be fair. do you really care what people, like me, think on here? We're nobodies to you and to everyone else really.

    But, on topic, I may try to upload some more recent pics soon.

    Not a card, and it doesn't go in my wallet, but I like it:

    Do not worry about the negativity some people dish out. When you are their age you will be better off than most of them. All the best
