Being a high school student, I have no personal work-related income, but I've already had my parents implement some of the automation strategies you've discussed. I did want to point something out, though. I'm not sure if you'll be able to read and act on this among all the other comments, but there's a typo that seems unique to this page. In your list of tips, you've misspelled the word gardener in #26. I realize it's just a minute detail and analogous to a frugality tip if your points are more like having strong content, but it's still an awkward-looking error. The Economicist Hey,
