Good ways to make $$$ at age 13??? (going to a 07 kh)

[canada]

I want a 07 20 inch kh trials REALLY bad and am 13 years old. How do i make the $$$? no...im not doin lawn mowing, baby watching, or lemoade stand...and i'm not doing things like drug dealing or prostitution (jk lol)...

and do any of u guys like...street perform or anyhting? how does that work out?

[wickedbob]

Do odd jobs for people.... I thought about street preforming I think I am going to do that next summer to make money.

[dudewithasock]

Sell your body to Catholic priests.

[habbywall]

Pull a major bank heist. No one will take a 13 year old seriously, so you can openly discuss the plans with anybody you want.
Then when you actually do pull it off, depending on canada law you will probably only be tried as a child. They probably don't even have laws in canada regarding a child doing a bank heist so you won't get in trouble, but it may lead to some law reforming being done.
Once you do this you will have more than enough for an 07 KH, so I will take one too. :)

Nah just mouth/ butt that's all they really want....

Hopefully they won't charge you interest, and if you're lucky they'll give you 3 years to pay it back! :) That would be less than $15 per month, and I KNOW you could afford that!:cool:

And what's wrong with mowing lawns? I did that when I was your age and made pretty good money, and since it was money that *I* earned, it felt good to buy stuff with my own cash!

my dad is ussally kool w/ WATEVER i do...but for some reason he ownt let me mow lawns...something about seeing a show on how thousands of kids get killed annually lawn mowing

Have your dad get a manual reel mower (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61257) for your own lawn. Then use that for mowing the neighborhood lawns. Reel mowers are quiet and cut the grass evenly with much less risk of scalping the lawn. Get a grass catcher basket for the back or you can leave the clippings on the lawn as mulch. The neighborhood will appreciate the lack of noise and that can be a selling point for your service. The manual reel mowers are easy to push and for suburban sized lawns they are as fast as using a gas powered mower. And they're safer than gas powered mowers.

Injuries yes, but actual deaths are close to zero. And thse injuries are easily prevented by using common sense and wearing SHOES! And the vast majority of these injuries are human error. Btw, when I was a kid, I used a good old fashioned *push* mower! Great exercise too!:D

PS: The stats are: Contact with powered lawnmower (per capita) Canada

0.0304832 deaths per 1 million people (I would wager that FAR more kids die in skateboard and bicycling accidents than when mowing lawns)

Wow, does he let you go outside? Heck, does he let you stay inside? Very risky when a tornado may hit your home.

I mowed lawns from when I was your age until all the way through college. Good money. Worst injury was getting stung by bees when I ran over a hole in the ground. There may be less risky opportunities in your neighborhood. Look around and start brainstorming about what odd jobs your neighbors might need done... pull weeds from their gardens? Wash their house windows? Clean their house? Fix their computer (yeah, put those computer skills to work instead of stealing printouts (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showpost.php?p=824441&postcount=21) from the library!)?

Well, if you're not allowed to mow lawns, he obviously doesnt let you do whatever youw ant.

Anyways, when I was your age, I worked with my mom and dad doing whatever to make a few dollars. I mowed lawns, and just did whatever I could to make some extra cash.

Quit STEALING from Libraries!! You didn't save $20, you STOLE $20. Libraries give you some of the worlds greatest riches for free.

Canada, babysitting is seriously one of the easiest gigs a young teen can do for money. Some parents pay ridiculously high, as in 10 dollars an hour high, just to watch TV at their house while occasionally glancing over at Junior.

[mornish]

how do you find people who need babysitting servies?


and people who need lawns movved

[dudewithasock]

Putting up flyers always works.

And for lawn mowing, just look at their lawn and see if it needs it. I would advise against asking the people that have those perfectly manicured and green lawns though, they're oftentimes overprotective of their lawn.

[torkerdx]

HAha what do you do there? I am a piano technician so I'm curious.:D

paper work, when they put new strings in i usually do the first tuning on it. working on the piano. replacing parts.

[Det-riot]

get a paper rout. Thats what i did

[Riles]

I got a part time job working at a casino as a busboy, 10 bucks an hour, plus I mow lawns and substitute for paperboys. That paid for my torker.

Print up some flyers and go door to door in your neighborhood.

[thejdw]

buy a lotto ticket, but just 1.

[musketman]

I dont know if you live in the city, but right now Im cutting wood. I think a 13 year old could do that. You dont have to even cut down standing trees. Look for "deadfall" that's on the ground already and cut it up into logs. A face cord is going for atleast $50 right now. A face cord is 8' long X 4' high of wood. It takes about 3-4 hours to get a face cord if you work good.

Otherwise, I go junk-pile looking. 1lb. of copper is like $2, and aluminum is I think .50 cents/lb. I just got $22 for aluminum I brought into the recycling place.

Well ive just invested $1000 dollars into the share market and in 3 weeks ive already doubled it!

But this method takes alot of complicated setting up with bank accounts and share brokers etc and it also takes education in the market so its not really reccomended for the average person.

Otherwise i'd make a loan with my parents, its worked for me in the past and ive done it a few times now.

[dudewithasock]

I don't think it's even allowed here for minors to invest in the share/stock market.

haha sure looks that vvay :D

[$unidude$chad$:)]

just do what i do- work on a local farm. I mean there are farms everwhere and usually need help. and most will pay u around 100$(well that's what mine pays me) and i've been doin that for 2 years yearound
PS:i'm 13 too :D :D

[zfreak220]

i'm not doing things like drug dealing or prostitution (jk lol)...
doesn't the "jk" cancel out the not? meaning he wants to do drug dealing or prostitution? 3 pages and nobody has said anything.

but yea, I mow my neighbors lawn for cash. slowly but surely saving up for a KH trials. got the job from unicycling, too.

"Brandon recently decided to put the fund on hold for a few months while he is in math camp in Colorado. (He moved the fund's assets into a money-market account.) At the end of the summer, he plans to relaunch the Mariner fund with the $5,000 plus another $30,000 he is trying to raise with help from a lawyer. Because he is only 14, his mother and father are custodians of the brokerage account where he does his trading."

Oh, didn't actually read the article. :o

[puresyn]

I have a couple of REAL suggestions that can help.

You can always check craigslist or someone who needs help stuffing envelopes. Usually this requires good handwriting, but not always. Easiest way to find this person is from your junk mail. Look for handwritten envelopes from Real Estate Agents, Insurance Agents, or anyone doing mass market leads.

Another way requires that you have a great mind for gambling. My friend's younger cousin started with $100 with online holdem and turned into $5000 in less than a year. US now bans online gambling for real money, but am not sure if thats also true in canucker land.

Wish you luck.

Sean

[habbywall]

It takes time to learn how to gamble online good.
Also, I think you have to be older than 13 to gamble online.
Does the US really ban online gambling for real money? That sucks.

Go to your neighbors and see if they have decent stuff that they want to get rid of. Then have a yard sale at your house. You might even sell some of the stuff back to the people that originally gave it to you. Shouldn't be to hard to make enough money to get your KH 07 this way.
