After a couple of months it adds up. u return 5+ cans a day perhaps and you do that for 3 months. if you got only 5 cans a day you would make 22.50 but say u did more then 5 say 7 cans a day that’s 31.50 in 3 months. he probably goes through more then 7 bottles a day id say 10 you have an alcoholic that probably gives him hundreds of cans + cans he bought or even bottles. For arguments sake you return 10 bottles a day for 3 months u would make 45.00 + or - a few.

I will start working as a studio designer… I take wedding photos put them in photo shop and create an album. an album takes about an hour to design and i get paid per album. But then i have to make changes at the brides request -\_-. for a 14 yr old i think that’s pretty good…

> > yo that is awesome at a young age to be able to do that. my major is graphic design, i LOVE it. me personally, my parents help me out because they know how passionate i am about my hobby (throwing). now in life I’ve had people say “you don’t know how to do anything your parents do \_\_\_ for you” “your rich” “your spoiled”. It’s all wrong. I worked 3 jobs. 1 retail $7.15 an hr for a summer and 2 at a restaurant/bar. bus boy/bar back only tips. now i am beyond greatful for everything they have done. i spelled that wrong on purpose if anyone gets it (likes greatful dead). I’m making string and and starting my website once I fix my computer that me and one of my best friends built together (he throws too [learning soooo fast], and I will let you guys know through signature/PM). It’s almost a factory, a lot of money went into it, mine. I don’t like the whole “you’re spoiled bit”. It just sounds like robbin hood. I would be proud to say one day soon (hopefully) that I will be paying my throws through my own string once I get it perfect and ready to distribute. I’m close. ;D Good day!

> Wow. I love working with photoshop and my uncle is amazing too! He actualy bought me my first trick yoyo The Dark Magic for christmas 2 years ago and a dingo last year. he taught me everything i know about photoshop and has let me do little jobs for him in the past to. but i got back from florida yesterday and he asked if i wanted to work for him and i was realy happy. What do you design? can i see some of your work? if you want to see this is my uncles website [http://www.cassarinostudios.com/home2.html](http://www.cassarinostudios.com/home2.html) he made the site but i helped a bit with my criticism =). haha.
I still haven’t gotten my associates degree i changed my major/minors a couple times. i do have a lot of art put together but I am slacking on putting put a portfolio. I am going to make my string website first then worry about the portfolio. I would also be able to put the string website into the portfolio which will be a great addition do it i presume. And yes that website is great. I make mine partial flash but not 100% like that one. That is great flash work. Just keep a look out for my “Nice Guy String” in about a month and you’ll see what im capable of 8) Oh and I saw someone asked about video editting. I wish I could upload my videos but youtube keeps knocking them down for copy right infringement because I made parodies. It was for when I used to go to New York Film Academy. Final Cut is a great program, its the only reason I bought a mac. Film is like my biggest passion. Oh and to keep this yoyo related I think Jensen Kimmits design for the Gnarwhal packaging is awesome, what do you guys think?

I just save my allowance. I get 10 dollars a week for spending money, and 5 dollars for mowing the lawn. But, a mow the lawn usually twice a week so I get 15-20 dollars a week.

Most of my yoyos I got by a happy random event. (A good deal I couldn’t pass up) I NEVER EVER spend money on things unless its really important to me. I have been mowing lawns for years, and have made mostly all of my money through that. But I am starting to develop applications for certain mobile devices, and I am expecting that be a pretty good source of money. I am also expecting it to be an incredible amount of work though…

Luck…lol
Lets see, I work 5 days a week. When I’m not working I take care of my daughter, my home, my car, pets, my bills…food. After I’m done paying my bills and finding the funds for my daughters newest toy I may have some for a yoyo.
The nice thing about this hobby/art form is that it really doesn’t have to cost a bunch unless you choose to collect or have to have the next best thing. Unfortunately for me I have the collectors bug, and I preferred metal 20 years ago. So, throws for me cost a touch more. Luckily I also have restraint…and I’m going to restrain myself to an absolute maximum of one per month… :🙂

Do you mean Apple’s Appstore? Well, then both of your guesses are wrong. I’m developing for the Pre and Pixi on Palm’s apps store.

No, palms don’t run android. I am not sure what you are thinking of. The newer Palms all run web OS.

Generally, since I have lots of family, I spend my money on lots of gifts (I think there’s an average of 1.5 birthdays a month). So then when it’s my turn, since I get everybody sweet gifts, I get a bunch of money to pick out yoyos I want, so I can usually get 3-4 every birthday/Christmas without actually spending my own money. Of course, you don’t save much buying everybody gifts every month…
