An article that has been previously read as reference, shows the relationship of teenagers in the different areas of this financial city in which all the social classes are found.
Students in the private schools of the Upper East, have usually very large fortunes, trust funds, stocks, actions and an endless number of bank accounts, but how do teenagers deal with money in this environment? Do they carry thousands and thousands of dollars with them? The answer is no, believe it or not they do not have pools made of money, in the Upper East Side teens carry credit cards as it is considered that it will give them a sense of responsibility and prevent them from buying drugs or doing any type of illegal activity.
Moving into The Bronx, people use their youth and knowledge on teenage activities to get cash, as this is an environment in which teenagers have a very limited amount of money in their homes. One of the most famous activities done to get a profit in this area is selling cigars, its actually quite easy, they buy a box of cigars on 5 dollars and sell it for 6 dollars getting a 20% profit on each box.
Another very known way to gain cash on this area are the famous ¨party profiteers¨ people that gain money by promoting parties .One of the interviewed states that he gets from 1.000 to 2.000 dollars in cash on every party.
The middle class, usually takes allowances and part time jobs in order to have money.
But the truth is, after observing the way this 3 social groups behave, we know that although they have a different relationship with economy because of their different conditions, they all have different activities and smart ways to obtain and manage it.
