Money and job issues.
I'm 17, and I have recently moved out and into my boyfriends house. This decision is for personal matters, so I would appreciate not discussing this in the answer. We live with his mother and his two sisters. His mother says that she wants no financial help from me, just help around the house, so that's good, but I need to get as much money as possible. I'm going to start school again next month so I won't be able to work full-time. I've only had one job, which is my current job, but they only work me 10 hours a week at a rate of $7.25 an hour. It is definitely not enough for me to buy my own things (clothes, personals, school supplies, etc.) and save money up so my boyfriend and I can get an apartment, me to get a car and car/medical insurance, and for me to go to college. I've talked to my manager twice and she can not work me more than 10 hours a week. At the rate I'm at I'm only making around $100 a month after taxes are taken out.
My question is, where can I work part time where I make a good amount of money.
Also, is there any way I can get some of the things I need for free?

What do you work, 2 days a week?
Most food places will give you tons of hours. My friends who work in retail always complain that they don't make enough & they don't get enough hours, but I work at a restaurant and I hate it because they give me too many hours even when I tell them I want less...
But I guess since you need the hours & need the money, it would be worth a try.
If you don't want to work in a restaurant, grocery stores usually pay pretty well ($7-$8/hr) and would definitly give you more than 10 hours per week (I would hope).
You could try looking for a second job. Since you get so few hours at your current job, it would be really simple to pick up another one.
I realize school is starting soon, but you could find a job where you only work Friday-Sunday in addition to your current job.
You just have to look around.
If you hostess at a restaurant, you get an average of $10/hr when you include tips (you get around $5 plus tips...)
Some places will pay you $8/hr & not include tips... just look around.
See if any of your friends are working at a place that's hiring & ask them about benefits & such.

Maybe you could try finding a job at a clothing store or something like that, that way you would get a discount for clothes and whatever accessoires they have, im sure they would make you work more than 10 hours a week. By school starts you could have money saved up and just adjust to a part time schedule. GOod Luckk sweetie..
