I'm jealous. I made $700 for a two year project that started when I was 15. :)
When the project started, my partner and I (that's right, the $700 was for both of us) thought that $700 was an enormous sum and that we were being very clever. (This was in 1984).
After two years (18 months of which was after my partner left for college) I finally was able to bring the project over the finish line.

This made me laugh out loud, it reminds me of the prizes Atari would give software devs via Atari Program Exchange (APX) contests, some of which teens won, which would be a few hundred bucks (or sometimes more) of credit for hardware usually, plus royalties on sales of the software
