    Default What's an easy way for a 14 year old to make money?

    I need to moolah to fund the building of my computer so what's a good way to make money? I don't get allowance, I've already sold a few of my Xbox, games and it's to early in the year to rake leavesand/or mow lawns. Any help?

    Protip: don't do anything stupid like gambling or drug dealing. I'd say asking parents, seeing if you can get a part-time job, the usual.

    Do household chores for you parents and ask if you do them, dishes, vaccuming so you can get paid for doing so. Ask like $10 a week for doing chores.

    This is what I did when I was young:

    1. Go to Costco and buy a shit load of candy/chocolates.
    2. Set-up a store with those candies and sell em at a higher price in which I bought em.
    3. Profit.
    4. Waste money on PS1, Chrono Cross and Star Ocean

    A part time job, or you could be my slave when Darkfall is released and I'll pay you $10 a week.

    Try to negotiate money for grades; then study. That generally works. Or it should. It didn't with my parents, but I've heard of it happening.

    Yeah, my parents said they'd give me an allowance if I boost my grades up. As for studying, I have a photographic memory, so no need.

    Lol I tried that with my dad and he was very strict so he's like:

    $20 for each A.

    -50 for anything below that.

    So basically I needed straight A's to get anything..

    Lol, K. Well, do that then. Plus you get your grades up as an added bonus. (and this is a bonus, trust me, you can get more money if you get them up high enough from the government and schools and stuff)

    And as for uh... photographic memory... that doesn't help with math, really. Study that sucker. You're in... Grade 9, right? That's beginnings of trig and cartesian plane and stuff, and some more algebra, if I remember right. Just sit down the night before any tests, for like 3 hours and just do a bunch of the exercises in the book. It helps; alot. Trust me

    do a garage sale your unused toys, shirts, shoes and other stuff...
    you can earn money from it, you can ask your brother and sisters, cousins and other family to donate stuff for your garage sale, you will ease too much crowd in your room by selling those stuffs.

    Tell me about it. I've never been good at Math. English, Geography/History, Science, and P.E I can excel in without even trying. And if you're wondering abotu P.E, It's like my dad says, "You're a natural athelete, you're just lazy. Very, very lazy."

    If there is anything you're really good at you should try and make profit out of it. You could help classmates/younger children with studying for $$$ or you could gather color metals and sell them.
