They have to have their most expensive watch, or the most expensive cloths. How do they get those items, by paying for it with money? Teenagers are most likely the worst type people at managing money. That is why they should work a job, because at first when they have money, they will go all willy, nilly spending money like it grows on trees. However, later after they get a job they will realize that they need to save money for the things they want later down the road and not spend all of the money they make right when they make it.
