devilspawn_666 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 3:09 pm: There's tons of stuff you can do to earn extra money. You could do stuff like babysit if there's any little kids in your family or in your neighborhood, you could cut grass, rake leaves, do housework around your place, or even dogsit for neighbors when they go on vacation. I'm sure if you asked your parents for some extra chores to earn money they would be more than willing to find something for you to do. Washing cars in the summer is a good option too. No one wants to spend the day doing that. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]
orphans answered Sunday July 31 2005, 10:21 am: you can wash the car for 5 or 10 dollars or if you have little brothers and sisters you can babysit them for 15 or 20 dollars an hour. you can also do a dog walking job or make things like neckolaces and bracelets and sell them. last you can sell candy in your neighborhood for extra cash. oh i forgot you can have a garage sail too.

brunettecutie answered Sunday July 31 2005, 3:04 am: u can ask your mom/dad if there is anything you can do around the house like cleaning. maybe you can start your own little baby-sitting service, or offer to watch next doors cats while they are away.
gUeSsHoO278 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 1:26 am: okay lemme tell you, first of all, its really not that normal for parents to give kids $100 every time they go to the mall...at all. I live in a rich community, and even here, parents are like...go get a job! and kids have to pay for their own cars. but yeah, you could babysit for kids around the neighborhood, that is easy money [ gUeSsHoO278's advice column | Ask gUeSsHoO278 A Question ]
twistedteen25 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 12:34 am: Here are some ideas for you
Babysitting siblings
Mowing the grass
Cleaning rooms ex attic, kitchen
Dishwashing
Watering the plants
Gardening
Teaching/Helping siblings
Money can't buy happiness even though it may seem that way because your probably saying to yourself what are you talking about if I had a ton of money I could buy whatever I want at the mall. Well after you buy whatever you want you'll become a total brat and no one will like you because you'll be mean and snobby and also you'll be really addicted to shopping or doing whatever you want.

x_pink_x109 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 12:12 am: People like her usually turn into little brats and they think that JUST because they get anything they want, they can ACT anyway they want. But you know what? If it makes you feel any better, you will have a LOT more friends than her because you were raised right and she wasn't! She is SPOILED which causes her to treat people like CRAP and think she can do ANYTHING or get ANYTHING they want!
The answer to your question is...
there are more things you can do other than things around the house but here are a few things you can do around the house!
1. Washing dishes
2. Doing laundry (for the entire family)
3. Dusting
4. Washing any family cars/trucks
5. Mopping floors
6. Cleaning your own room
7. Cleaning sibling (if any) room
8. Cleaning parent(s) room
9. Washing windows
10. Emptying dishwasher/loading dishwasher
There are some more things you can do. If you know a lot of people with children under 11 or 12, you can babysit. Charge $2 an hour, PER child.
You can also do yards, if you don't mind being outside mowing lawns.
I don't know what type of person you are but some people LIKE to be outside, some people like to be inside, and some people like to be ANYWHERE but their own house. Those are some ideas for ALL three types of people! LOL.
rikatree2375 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 12:07 am: I know how hard that is!!! I always need some extra cash too. Try asking your parents if they'll pay you to do certain stuff around the house. If they wont, maybe you could babysit (guessing you're a gurl..lol). Or if you're 16 or older you can usually get a pretty steady job for at least minimum wage. Hope i helped!!!
