I am 14 and i have had a few jobs, i am currently laid off along with lots of the part time staff where i work but i will be working again in like 1-2 weeks, and my mom pays for 25% of my bike stuff so that is sweet. she used to pay for half a couple years ago.
I also made a bunch of money selling my old bikes.

*edit* i also just got a really sweet deal on my new bike.

save your cash
learn how to properly maintain your bike and fix basically anything, invest in decent tools so when a problem arises you can fix it
then spend your saved cash on fancy new stuff

rear derailleur is super easy, look it up on the net, its one of the easiest things to do on a bike
fork is another story, if you cant do your derailleur then dont go for the fork, thats something to let the shop do
