I have included some sites that have some ideas for different teen jobs. I also have an idea that may work for you. What about selling stuff your family doesn't want anymore on eBay. Things sell best if the price is really low and in good condition. Be honest about condition on eBay and you shouldn't have a problem. You can go to garage sales and purchase things at very low prices and sell them on eBay. Again make sure that what you buy works and is in good condition. If people are too high at the beginning of their garage sale simply keep goin back on an item. You may still get it for the price you want at the end of the sale, because they may have it priced too high and others won't buy it either. At the end of the sale they will practically give it away. You can find garage sales in your local paper each week and you can put your cities name and add garage sales in your search engine and local garage sales should come up. The great thing about this way of making money is that you can be off doing whatever you want or need to be doing and your making money. Remember to mail peoples purchases w/in a week of their purchase and pick specific days that you will mail things out and put it in the ad so they don't rate you badly. Make sure you do ship things out on the days you say you will and you should do well. I've included some sites that will help you understand the garage sale process below as well. Good luck!

you can:

-ask for your family members to pitch in for the car for your birthday present

-ask your parents if you can do a bunch of chores to get some more money

-not spend any of your paycheck and save it for the car


hope i helped!

Dependind on how long your hours are, you could get another job. Also, I know it sounds lame, but there is A TON of money in the babysitting buisness. I'd make sure to put your savings into an account so you're not tempted to spend it.
Good luck!! xoxoxo

(I'm sorry, but you severly butchered the english language when you wrote this)

Hi, your best bet is to get a summer job and try and work alot of hours. You could do babysitting and charge something like $25 per hour. But most people would think your a wee bit young to be looking after babies. Mowing the lawns, or working in a store or fast food outlet is good. You could even be creative and explore different ways of making money. Brainstorm a list of creative ways of earning money. You will need to put your age into account. Give something a try. Daniel.

Since it's summer, they're are alot of job opportunities like: mowing lawns, babysitting, washing cars, cleaning pools, or see if they're are flyers around for some easy jobs. ♥
