Sadie: I’m going to be a gymnastics teacher.You won’t be making a hundred million that way!
Sadie: I would make a chain of a bunch of gyms. And I’d hire young people to be my teachers, like people still in high school or college, because they’re able to still actually do a back handspring and show their students. And I’d always check with my employees and make sure we understand each other and always use contracts. For now, I have lemonade stands and I sell stuff on eBay. And I’m starting a dog-walking business.What will you spend your money on when you’re an adult and responsible for your own life?

Sadie: Boom! Boom! I have firepower! If one job doesn’t work out, I’ll create another job, and another.Lauren: My husband won’t run out of money.What if we’re all dead or living in Switzerland, the parents and the husbands, and it’s up to you?
Lauren: I’ll move in with Sadie. In a cardboard box.Sadie: It won’t be a cardboard box. I’m going to own a gym and a mansion, remember?The gym failed and the bank repossessed your mansion. What then?
Lauren: I’ll work at McDonald’s.Sadie: I’ll work at the gas station next to Lauren’s McDonald’s. Then we’ll wave to each other all day out the windows of our terrible jobs.Wolf: I already clean houses and take care of animals and sell my art. If I lost my money, I would do everything I can to get it back, any job I can find.Bean: I sell bow and arrows I make, and slingshots. But you don’t really need money to live.Dora: I get mine from my bitches. No, I do absolutely nothing. I find it on the ground. I don’t have any money, I don’t spend any money, I don’t feel the need to spend money. There’s always ways to survive without it. Dumpster diving, food pantries, homeless shelters. Eat bugs. I eat bugs, anyway. I ate a beetle just because.

Lauren: I don’t know anything about it.Neighbor Girl: Maybe 14 dollars a day.Max: I have no idea. My dad spends a lot of money and I’m guessing he has a lot of money, but I have no idea how he gets it. He spends more than he makes. I think he has some secret other job, like a spy or something.Dora: I think he sells drugs.Will: Apparently my dad doesn’t make that much, but apparently he does, because he’s always buying new cars and computers and all these fancy things.Sadie: My parents keep it private. Well, you don’t. But my dad and stepmom do.Lauren: If I ask, my dad says, “It’s my money. You don’t need to know.”Sadie: My stepmom will be talking to my dad and say, “I made a bunch of money at a wedding today.” And I’ll say, “How much?” And she’ll say, “That’s not really some of your business.” You tell me how much you get each time you write a book, but it’s always different. And you tell me how much it costs, what goes into it, so it’s a lot of numbers. My dad and stepmom think it’s rude to ask about money. They think people will be comparing.Lauren: My dad and stepmom think if you talk about your money, someone might hear you and steal it.Previously - What Kids Say About Current Affairs
