b"How can you know good paycheck if you've never known bad paycheck? As the late Jim Rohn once said, \\u201cHow can you know good paycheck if you\\u2019ve never known bad paycheck?\\u201d 1) Take a trip to the poor side of town. Jim John gave the advice of taking your kids to the poor side of town.\\xa0 Show them how people who\\u2019ve made different financial decisions live.\\xa0 Trash in the street, cars up on blocks, yards uncut, houses in disrepair. 2) Why can\\u2019t you afford it?\\xa0 Where does the money go?\\xa0 It goes one dollar at a time on beer, cigarettes, entertainment, fast food, etc. The cost of our habits add up slowly over time.\\xa0 Financially and physically. 3) Contrast can motivate us to move up, move out or move on. Nothing wrong with your first teenage years job being fast food, for example.\\xa0 Low pay, hard work.\\xa0 Teaches you responsibility, promptness, team work, dealing with customers (good/bad), etc. And hopefully motivates you to want to get out of there after a short season.\\xa0 There\\u2019s the contrast. By the time you start your first part time job, you should have most of these skills/experiences already instilled in you by your parents. If they did a good job of providing you with contrast, and not protecting you from the world, your first part time job should be a much better experience. Contrast.\\xa0 If everyone was the same, life would be boring.\\xa0 But only if we\\u2019ve first experienced everyone being different in the first place.
