Copyright from creative commons!

I learned a few things from a video I watched about copyrighting, and to make sure you are legally. So I thought I should share some of those things with you. One thing is that if you want to use something from someone you need their permission. Or there are some sites set up where people post their pictures saying you can take these and use them if you give me attribution. All you need to do is make sure you know that it's okay to take that certain picture, video, etc. One big thing for this is Google images, if you want to take a picture from Google images you need to make sure it's okay! Whether that's E-mailing or anything to get permission.

How to save money!

Images by Images_of_Money
There are many ways I spend money. I spend my money on mostly food and drinks, but there are times when I spend money on things like Xbox and sports accessories. I can easily cut down on my spending by not buying so many things in the heat of the moment. For example when I'm hungry I can just wait and not buy the food. One thing that also would help me a lot is making a plan before I go somewhere. So when I'm in the middle of the situation then I make the right decision.

So you want to get a job!

There are a few levels of minimum wage. It depends on on the employer and how much the company makes. If you are considered a large employer and make more than $625,000 gross volume sales you must pay $7.25 an hour, which is the federal law. If the amount is less then $625,000 then the amount is $5.25 an hour. If you are under the age of 16 you can't work before 7AM or later than 9PM. The only job that doesn't follow the rule is a newspaper carrier. Also if under the age of 16 you can't work more than 40 hours a week and 8 hours in a 24 hour period. If you're 16 or 17 you can't work later than 11 PM or earlier than 5 AM. Unless there's written permission from an adult then they can work from 4:30AM-11:30PM.
