How to explain to my parents that a custodial account is a good thing?

Hi everyone, I am 16 and I recently got a job. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and reading different things that say you should open a retirement account as soon as possible. Is this something I should ask my parents? They aren’t very supportive of me doing stuff on my own. Tbh they’re kinda controlling so how could i explain this to them. What points could I bring up that could help me? And if they say yes how would I go about opening an account?

(USA) McDonald’s is breaking the law and doesn’t care.

I am 16 and have a specific amount of hours I have to work. I can only work 24 hours in a week and can’t work more than 10 hours in a 24 hour period. I asked my manager this and she said they didn’t care and that if I want to enforce this they would let me go. My question is do I quit because I’m breaking the law or do I stay and just keep working?

(USA) I hate working weekends I just want to be a kid

I just recently got hired and I kinda hate it. My manager is horrible and always expects so much of me. I never got any training and had to figure everything out on my own. I work window doing drinks and handing out food. School is starting and I can’t even go to my open house bc I have to work and she won’t let me take it off. I know I just started but with school starting idk if I can handle work and school. I’m taking 2 AP classes so those will be especially hard.

Finally.

For context: I’m 16 and just got my license.

I know I needed a job and after 59 applications I finally got one. It’s at McDonald’s but money is still money. At 16 I really don’t care where it is. I’m making $14 an hour which i think is pretty good.

2012 Canyon radio wiring harness question

I’m replacing the stock radio and the one I’m putting in has the 12 volt ignition and power wire right next to each other. The stock on only has the power wire so when I turn the truck on the radio doesnt turn on. Anyone know what wire it is.

Battery light came on after replacing battery. Voltage check out. What could it be

I recently replaced my battery in my 2012 gmc canyon. I wire brushed a ground wire and cleaned it up as it was rusty. I made sure everything was how it was before. My battery light turned on when I started it. So I check my battery with a voltmeter and it read 12.4 which is good. I tjem turned the truck on and checked the alternator and it was around 13.5 so that’s not bad. Does anyone have any idea why it could be on?

Starting summer workout and wondering how to not be like the broccoli heads

Hi everyone, me and my gf are going to be going to pf tomorrow. We know it’s supposed to be super busy. We’ve both never really worked out before, but have been watching some YouTubers on it. I know we get stereotyped into broccoli heads, but I’m wondering how to avoid them and not be like them. Thank you!!
