how to raise money for trip!?


Question Posted Sunday July 29 2007, 5:38 pm

Hey, this is my first time on this website and I really need advice, and I was reading the columist things and yours looked good. Anyways, I am 14 years old and I am going on a trip to England in 12 months. So far I've saved up 380 dollars, but I need to save up more. I don't know how can I raise money? Because there are no good babysitting jobs around here, and I can't do a paper route because it's not exactly a great neighbourhood. Please give me lots of good ideas! By the way, I'm from Canada.

Well, you just have to get creative. What are your skills? What are your hobbies? You can figure out something just by that.

Examples:

Let's say you can type sixty words per minute. I bet there are plenty of people in or around your neighborhood that would pay you to type things for them because of an inability to do so themselves.

Or you could advertise to keep up peoples' yards and/or gardens.

I'm not sure of the age requirment is for jobs in your area, but you could usually find a job at a coffeeshop. You can also probably find odd jobs at a carnival or fair if there are any coming up in your area.

You could sell some of your old stuff at pawn shops or on ebay.

Just think of something you're really good at and put it on sale.

If you need more help, tell me what your strong points are and I'll help you figure something out.
