Actually, $100 or $150 should never be a problem.

I recently mentored an 11 yr. old neighbor kid who always complained 
he didn't have any money.  I helped him purchase a $15 buffer at 
Walmart and started him on a career waxing the neighbor's cars every 
6 months.  He pockets $15 per vehicle every 6 months, washes and 
waxes a few dozen vehicles for $15 which is a great bargain, which 
has enabled him to purchase the electronic parts and gizmos he was 
craving.  I helped him with my computer to print up some flyers which 
he walked around the neighborhood and delivered.  He paid me back the 
$15 within 2 weeks and was making some good money for an 11 yr. old.

My point here is --- if the will is strong enough there is always a 
way. Kids without funds need to roll up their sleeves and find a way 
to do it. Car waxing, raking leaves, odd jobs for neighbors --- 
whatever it takes.

As I've often told my young friend Nick, "can't is not a valid word 
in the vocabulary of an entrepreneur"  I've also preached to him, 
"Can't never did anything --- never has and never will".  He is 
slowly beginning to see the light.

Tesla worked 18 hrs. per day and usually 7 days per week.  No excuses 
in his mind.
