Saving my Money
Alright, so I'm not the greatest at saving money. I'll admit that. I have $44.40 on my debit card currently, and I'm saving up for a Chanel Handbag, and a Louis Vitton Wallet. The handbag costs $639.00 and it's absolutely beautiful! I'm getting it from Yuella.com so the shipping is $39.99. Does anybody know if those bags on the website are real? I'm guessing based on the prices - they're real. But you can never be sure enough whether it's just a staff taking money for fake purses. Forgive my suspicion! So is it reliable? Are they real? From somebody that's had experience from that website preferably. My enxt question is this:
How do I save enough money?
My dad said I could have a job at where he works when I turn 16, for $160 a week. But I'm only 13, are there any jobs I can do at my age? If so, it's gotta be pretty limited. When my parents go to parties down the block etc. they'll have me babysit and I'll get $4.00-$6.00 an hour. But I almost never babysit. I can work around the house a little but I'm not sure what to do around the house. I can wash the dishes for like 50 cents and wash the plants for a few dollars, depending on how many I water. I can weed the patio, but it takes hours for such little pay! Only like $7.00 after working all day! And I have school and grades to work on so I don't have much time. My family always forgets to give me allowance and it's annoying as HECK! PLEASE give me ideas to earn some money! I've never taken babysitting courses etc.

Do you have a younger sibling? I have an 11 year old brother and my mom talks to his friends' parents-- I babysit for my brother's friends now, and make $10 an hour. So if you know any younger kids you'd like to babysit for, try talking to their parents or get your parents to casually slip in that you babysit.
You can try being a CIT at your camp, and you'll earn tips. Or, it sounds cliche, but having a mini-garage sale to get rid of extra junk in your bedroom/around the house will get you a lot.
Some places hire kids at just 14 years old. I know an ice cream shop in my neighborhood that hires eighth graders.
Good luck, hope you enjoy your handbag =]

There's not many jobs available for a 13 year old. Your best bet is to search around your neighborhood to see if people need help mowing/raking lawns, cleaning their garages, etc. You can also do the same with babysitting.
As for the bags on the website, I'm not sure if they're real or not.
