Your mom's right on target - if you want the jacket, you must work to earn it. As it happens, that's exactly why I got my first "real" job; I wanted a leather jacket, I worked for it, I earned it, and wore it proudly for the next ten years.
Don't worry about making your neighbors feel like they have to do something. Your desire for a jacket is seriously not enough motivation for them to change their lives. They're not going to start going out more just to finance your wardrobe. It's good of you to consider their feelings, but in this case I don't think you have to worry about it.
You don't say how old you are, but I'm guessing not old enough to go out and get hired somewhere. This pretty much leaves "odd jobs for the neighbors" as your sole source of income, and the list doesn't stop at babysitting. There's house-sitting as well; if you hear that a neighbor is going out of town, offer to take care of watering their plants, feeding the dog, and picking up the mail; $5 to $10 per day, depending on how much you have to do, would be a fair amount to ask (if they have six dogs and a greenhouse, it wouldn't be out of line to ask for more). Don't be too proud to do yardwork either - 'tis the season to rake leaves!
Regrettably, there really is no quick and easy way to make a couple hundred bucks. If there were, I probably wouldn't share that information - I'd just be doing it as often as possible!
By the way, what's the rush? I would imagine the jacket will be available at least until Christmas. You have time.
(Oh, and one more thing - please don't post big long links like that, as it makes it so one has to scroll to the right to read everything on the page.)

Maybe go out and find a job. Look in the Want ads. Or ask your mom if you helped around the house if she would pay you. Hope you get the jacket!
Hope I helped!

you could just be like "i`m saving up for a new jacket,so if you ever need a babysitter,just give me a call."
some other work you could do would be:
-yard work for elderly neighbors.[they tend to pay good]
-paper route.depending on the # of papers,you could make a nice chuck of cash.
-helping out mothers around the house,doing things like cleaning or watching the kids while they clean.
hope i helped.good luck.
PS.that jacket is super cute.

Why would you even mention the jacket to the neighbors? Just say you're looking for some extra cash, and that they shouldn't hesitate to let you babysit if they ever go out.

well if your 14 or over you can get a worker's permit and people will higher teens at like movie theaters, stores at the mall, "playlands" like Quigys or Chuckie Cheese's and stuff like that.
If not you might have to stick to stuff like babysitting. Or you can sell old stuf of yours or pratically new stuff you never used. that will get you money. or just save it if you get an allowence or money for lunch(take lunch and save the money).
Hope that helps. :)
