I’m going to be the voice of reason here. This is completely unacceptable for a child to do this. This kid is well fed, clean clothes, and nice shoes , he literally lacks for nothing.
There is zero reason he should be asking people for food. There’s no way on earth his parents are happy he did this.
I’ve had a Roth IRA since I was 22 years old. Please for the love of god, open one. Invest in it. Invest anything. I cannot stress how important this is.
