I need to save $ 4 my summer vacation (2 wks, 4 dys) and I h
I need to earn some cash 4 my summer vacation. We leave July 15 and I really need to save and make some $ so I can go crazy spending!!!! Lol. I get $20 midmonth and end of the month so when I leave, I'll have $40. That's ok, but I'd like 2 make some more by then. Any suggestions how 2 make some extra cash working around the house or anything? I can't babysit, no little brothers or sisters. If u have any ideas on how 2 make fast and easy $ doing work around the house, tell me!! Thanx.
Luv y'all, Erin (15/f)

You could talk to your parents and offer to sort the linen closet, weed the garden, wax the table, and the like for certain amounts of money.
If they aren't willing to pay, you can go on a cooking frenzy and make cookies to sell. You can co-operate with some people who are having a garage sale and sell them there, outside a busy building (a bank, for example) or by a popular hiking trail (this works really well, I've tried it). This is a fun one because you can pull your friends into it. ;-)
You can also organize a garage sale. You can do this with friends or with your family, and get rid of some of your old stuff for money. I've done this before, and made quite a bit.
If you have friends who like to act, you can pull some of them into a short play. You can find many short plays on the net and on fictionpress.com, in the plays section. Charge for admission (or, if you like, just for refreshments) and have fun!

You could always try babysitting for other families! See if your parents have any friends with kids that need babysitting every so often, or if you have any neighbors that need a babysitter or whatever. Just make it known that you're available for the job :o). Ask your parents if you can do extra work around the house for some extra money, or go around the neighborhood seeing if anyone needs any yardwork done. You could also try selling lemonade // baked goods // whatever else [[ it sounds little kid-ish, but you can make a few bucks off of it ]], or car washes. Um, if you have old clothes / toys / other things that you don't want anymore and are still in good condition you could try having a yard sale or selling them online. Good luck! =D.

If you have close neighbors or family friends, you can offer to mow their lawn and pull weeds for a little money. You'll be surprised to see how much some people are willing to pay people for tending their yards.

A few summers ago, my best friend and I sold lemonade, ice tea, cookies, and water right next to a golf course so whenever thirsty golfers drove by, they always stopped! We made almost a 100 bucks a day! Thats a great way to make money! Also, clean out your room and have a garage sale! I suggest nothing on Ebay because it costs money to put it up then to send it to whoever purchases it! Thats spending money more than making it! Or do extra chores around the house OR walk/watch neighborhood pets OR do neighbors yard work!! Good Luck!!
