I have already saved one hun- dred and ninety six dollars and seventy five cents by doing odd jobs and stuff. Here they are: • I find and wash dirty used golf balls and sell them for five cents each (no tax). • My allowance is changed from five dollars a day to eight (no tax) because of those damn cost of living expenses.
