If you have a part time job and have been taxed you will need to fill in a tax return. If you have never lodged a tax return before, The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has information here. The ATO also has an online calculator that will let you know if you need to lodge a tax return. If you don't, you need to complete a non-lodgement advice instead.

Wally is a free budget app that allows you to track your spending and provides graphs so that you can track what you're spending your money on. There are no ads, all information is private and you can save photos of receipts. Whether you have a part time job or just get pocket money, budgeting is a useful life skill. It is a good habit to develop before you get a 'real' job and start earning big bucks.

Philanthropy

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, philanthropy is an act or gift done or made for humanitarian purposes. Just because you are a teenager who does not have thousands of dollars to give away does not mean you can't be a philanthropist. West Australian based organisation Impact100 gives people the opportunity to put their money together with other people and choose which charities to give it to. They have a YoungImpact100 program for 12-18 year olds where the teens collect or save $100 to donate then attend a fun grant event where they pool their money with other teens and together choose a charity to donate the money to.  
  • In 2016 TADWA (Technology Assisting Disability WA) were granted $3400 to use in their  Freedom Wheels program modifies standard pushbikes to enable those with disabilities to ride a bike.
  • In 2015 CanTeen Australia were the happy recipients of the $3402.85 raised on the day which will go towards supporting youth suffering from or dealing with Cancer. 
  • In 2014 Choice Youth Homelessness Matters (YHM) received a $3225 grant which went directly to The Foyer on Oxford Street towards team activities for homeless youth.

Generosity magazine has an article on other organisations in Australia with a similar purpose. You can find it here.

Your Parents are not an ATM

A common misconception that you may have is that your parents are made of money.  Your parents may make sacrifices such as working two jobs or going without so you can have what you need.   You may not think that you're asking for much (perhaps just $30 for the movies and a meal) but remember they have also had to fork out for groceries, electricity, gas and phone bills, fuelled up the car, paid the rent etc. Next time you ask your parents for money, offer to do extra chores to earn it.  Learning to save up from your allowance is a valuable skill that will help you in adult life.
