Only problem? My family has access to my savings. Any hope of saving for a Switch is absolutely kaput. I know what it's like. Last year I was earning money myself by teaching english. You see, since Nicaragua is a spanish-speaking country, lots of people want to learn english. And since I happen to be from United States, I speak english and spanish as if both were my first languages. So some parents would ask me to teach their kids english, and I was payed for that.

Thing is, that if I earned money, I had to spend it soon. If I were to save it, my parents would eventually ask me to "borrow" my money (even though they'd rarely pay me back.) Still, it felt nice to be a support for the family's economy.
