I'm 13 and don't get a lot of money.  I can usually only spend $20-$30 a month,
whihc is my entire allowance.  Except in January it is my birthday and I can
get a few hundred dollars.  Plus I don't live close to a store that has LEGO,
and I have to wait for a ride.  It can be annoying sometimes (especially when I
pass up an older set and want to go back the next day- doesn't happen), but I
do okay.
