Question

7．Figuring out how to pay for camping activities can be hard．Instead of asking ther parents or money all the time，these teens decided to start their own business．
PAINT BROTHERS
Brothers Luke and Walker Floyd from Texas went into business together four years ago．"Our father gave us the idea of striping（給…劃上條紋）parking lots to make money to buy a car，"says Luke，14．They had to buy a machine that rolls along and pumps the paint through a sprayer（噴漆器），which cost﹩1，500．Talking to business owners to see if they wanted their parking lots worked on was hard at the beginning，and the manual labor（體力勞動）can be tough in the awfully hot Texas summers．
"There have been plenty of times I would have rather sat with air conditioning．But once I got out there and got my hands dirty，I had a great time with my brother!I look back on what I accomplished and have learned to appreciate things a lot more，"Walker，17，says．
Their work has paid off：They charge 40 cents a foot for painting and take home about﹩10，000 in a summer．
VENDING VENDOR（自動售貨機經(jīng)營者）
Will Robins from Pennsylvania was inspired to start his business by simply looking around when out at area stores．That's when he noticed the little vending machines that give you a tey or treat for just a quarter．When he was 10，Will bought his first machine and started his business．
"Don't rush into it，"Will says．"Buying a machine costs about﹩200，plus﹩130 a year for candy．I collect about﹩10 a week from one machine．"
He has plans to expand，but that will have to wait since one of his machines broke．
"I've been successful in making profits over the last two years，"Will says，but getting out to service the machine is hard since he can't drive：He recommends that before you invest（投資）in starting a business，figure out what your costs will be．
