  SPEAKER_01: From now on, every parade around here absolutely must have this.

• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: They're using them as percussion.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: So it looks kind of like it kind of looks like a marching band.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: I know, you just made a parade exciting.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: But next year you have to come to the Easter Aura July 3rd parade.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, we we were talking about that.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Tiffany wants to go up there.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: She hears, she goes, Oh, there's I hear there's nice doors up there and everything.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's a nice area for sure.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: And an open container law.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: That doesn't suck to have a beer in your hand while you're watching a parade.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now tell me, I'm not wrong.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: And when the marching band comes by, that's not really a marching band, but they're playing the folding chairs.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Go look at this video.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's brilliant.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever came up with that.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously, they've got to be members of the marching band because their timing is perfect if you watched a video like they're doing this.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't just go out there and just slap some chairs.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, they practiced.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is hardcore practice.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: So hard.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: I applaud.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think we all have had a summer job, whether it was you're a lifeguard, or if you're like me, you worked at JCPenney's or you worked at your local convenience store.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Listen to this message we got.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm 16 and working my very first job this summer.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: And since school ended, I've worked just about every day as many hours as I'm allowed to.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: My parents took my first paycheck from me and are refusing to allow me to spend it.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: They opened a savings account and put the money in there and told me I can't touch it and I can't do anything until I'm 18.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: We got in a huge fight about it, and they said that money is mine, not theirs.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think I should be allowed to spend it.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, my money's mine as in the parents?
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, that part I don't agree with.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: So far, I'm following you.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: I I think I should be allowed to spend it because I earned it.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: What do you guys think?
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: Uh all right.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: So I can tell you that uh I I everybody does this differently.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: So there is no 100% perfect answer.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: What we are gonna get are our text, and that's fine.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna get tax from people of what they did or what they do.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: And and remember, every situation's different.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes you gotta work because the family needs money and you've got to help out.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, keep that in mind.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: Then there's the the situation where if you want to buy your own things, you need to work because this is how you're going to learn.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: This is how I buy my own things.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't agree with the parents saying this is their money that she's earning until she's 18.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's great they put it in a savings account, but I don't agree with that line where it's they're saying it's their money.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Until they release it.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm probably because it's like, oh, my house.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: You know how my parents will go, oh, it's my house.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, that comes that works with outfits that you're gonna wear that I have to protect you from being seven years old wearing a uh belly shirt, uh-huh, you know, and looking inappropriate in public.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Or curfew.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: Or curfew, or you know, things like that.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so that those are areas like that.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: In my opinion, what they should have done is come to an agreement with their daughter and said, listen, I think it's great that you want to work.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: And and some kids do.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: I I I will tell you this firsthand.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: I know this from stories.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: We were at party in the park.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: One of Tiffany's daughter's old bosses, Jules' old boss, she used to work at the Big M.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: Is it the Big M or Big W?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: The Big M Big M in Osceola.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: She worked there from when she was 14 years old on.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: She got her working papers.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: And she only left a few months ago because she got a full-time job with the county now.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: She's, you know, graduated and in her in her line of work.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: She's moving up in the world.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: One of the one of the her old co-workers said, You've got to tell her we miss her.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_01: We, you know, she was great.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: And I thought that was wonderful.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: So she had started working very young.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: I know for a fact Tiffany and her ex did not take uh all of her money.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Now, maybe that money went to certain things.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Some of it might have gone to the clothes she wanted, some of it might have gone to the car.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: They made her buy her own car.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so so if you have a discussion and say, We're you, you go go work.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: This is great.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: But you're gonna want a car.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Well, guess what?
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta buy your own car.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'll help you with it.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: Have the discussion first.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: Say, okay, if we're going to put some money in savings, let's split it down 60-40 or 50-50.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: You get to keep some to use, and then let's put some away.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Because you do have to have some blow-it money.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: You have to have some blow-up money, but also I can't learn how to spend, whether it's wisely or unwisely, without any money in hand.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's where there does need to be a negotiation, whether it is that 50-50, 60-40, whatever.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because then you know there's definitely going to be some backup money for this this kid, whatever they decide.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe it it's the maybe the negotiation is you want a car, so the 50 that we're taking is going towards the car.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: This other stuff, this other 50 is whatever you want, but may we advise that you don't blow it all on McDonald's.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: Where it's where the where this gets a bad optic is because they took it all without having all of it, without and saying it's theirs and and not having any sort of agreement beforehand.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I'd be pissed too, because I'm the one that's still getting up and going to work.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: And and now you're just gonna claim it as yours.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think at that point, then I would stop working as much as much.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I would do?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: I would find a way I'd be like, take it out of direct deposit, hand me the check directly.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go to the bank and get my own account.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: And then I would just eliminate my parents.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: So you're actually reversing the positive they're trying to do because kids can be rebellious.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: We got a ton of text.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: We'll get back to it in a minute.
