help i need money you could go around your neigborhood and ask if you could mow there lawn to simple things around the house. Get a paper-route or something. You can also buy things such as candy in large bundles and sell them for more at your school. Making money is easy if you put your mind to it and you aren't lazy. work.. I have the same problem. I think a lot of possibilities open up when we turn 14. Sory not a gret answer, but thats what iv heard. I know how ya feel... I can't do much for money myself... try babysitting, walking dogs, BEGGING FOR MONEY FROM RICH PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pet up flayers for babysitting, or get a paper route I'm only two years older than you. There are plenty of things you can do at your age right now. You only have to wait 3 more years before you can get a real part-time job, excited?
-Of course there's always asking your guardians to do more stuff around the place, or for a raise.
-Doing things around the community, almost anything around all seasons from raking leaves, to shoveling snow, to mowing grass.
-Anything to do at school, fundraisers.. some schools let you make a profit off of that
-Hosting your own fundraisers, selling wantable things to raise money
-Or just having a small stand, like lemonade.. there is a young kid around where I live who made the news because he was only like 10 years old in a business suit selling lemonade for 25 cents..
-Start like a little business on something you like, when I was thirteen I started a little dog training session that I made some money off of.
-Some grocery stores let you bag at 13
-Or just research companies around your house that accept minors around 13 to do a little help for cash MAKE A LIST OF A FEW THINGS SUCH AS RUNNING ERRANDS FOR NEIGHBORS AND THEN ASK YOUR PARENT THEIR ADVICE TO MAKE SURE THEY AGREE IT IS SAFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you 'need' money? or you want money? now is the time to think about how to be rich by the age of 21. Everything thing you earn now can be saved and you can earn interest on - this is because you have no outgoings - you dont pay rent, mortgage food etc. This will change when you move from home and then you really will need money.
You need to work on your financial education (something they don't teach you at school). Buy yourself two books - The Richest Man in Babylon and Success through a positive mental attitude. Read them and they should change your outlook to earning and making money.
If you just need money to buy Maccas, concert tickets or Xbox games, then just join the queue of instant must have consumers and never get ahead of the herd.
You are at the age now when you have the intelligence to understand money. Don't waste it - cos if you work at it now, you may not have to work for anyone but yourself by the age of 21.
Good luck. baby sit Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:
1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.
2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.
3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.
4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.
5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.
6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.
7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.
8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.
Good luck! |
