How can I make my boss impressed ?

I work a minimum pay job, and I want to show my boss that can do well/ better. I want them to know that I am dependable and can do things on my own. How can I impress them? (Considering the fact that the job is a minimum wage job) #career #money #job

How can I save money?

Working a minimum pay job ($9) and having only 30 hours a week I think is not that much money. I like to spend money which I know is really bad. I need to learn how to stop spending all my money. How can I save money and put it to greater use? #career #jobs #money

Is there a way not to depend to heavily on money?

This question may be un-attainable to be honest. I wanted to know if anyone out there doesn't rely on money as much. Knowing that our country relies so much on financial aid and currency, how can I rely less on money, if possible? #career #money
