Sporadically the equivalent of 60 cents (pre-euro times), then the equivalent of about ~12 euros in my late teens, before I got a job. It was enough for 1 dinner at a restaurant 1 notch above fast food (I guess Applebee's would be a US equivalent).

Then I got a job and sunk my whole savings, and the first year of wages, in a laptop. It was quite cool, but questionable financially.
