phatman Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 ...never got an allowance and i couldnt buy my own shit like shirts, cologne, etc until i got a job and i could pay for it myself....i remember the first thing i ever wanted was this dress shirt from Alexanders on route 4 (r.i.p.)...at the time it was $16 and my dad was like, "I wont buy you a $16 shirt. Find a way to get it yourself!"...so i did...now the prick literally dumps money on his grandkids without thinking twice....grrrrrrrrrrr....

marcid21 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 whoa, i thought they went bankrupt but looks like this companies been on fire... damn...also remember these stores, steinbach, orbach, caldor, a&s~!?lol...yes to all of the above. The first thing I wanted really badly was a pair of navy blue "pumps" at Caldor. I used to get 10 bucks a week for allowance. I got as much as 40 at some points for doing all these chores around the house...and since my bro never did his, I usually got HIS allowance for doing them.It stopped when I was 16 and was forced to get a job at Mandee.

funeralhome Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 i think we determined 5 bucks a week or something.. but i never saw it because i never held up my end of the bargain (cleaning my room, taking the trash out etc.) i ended up getting a job as soon as i was able to.. for some reason i would have rather slaved for mcdonalds than my parents..
