Making Money?
Okay, so I'm a 14/F and I would love to make money. I work at the snack shack at a soccer field for AYSO on some Saturdays and only get paid $25 a weekend for about ten weekends. Sometimes i don't even get paid. I don't get paid for my chores, and when I ask my mom for money she only gives me about twenty dollars, which isn't enough to buy anything at the mall. I can make a lot of things like bracelets and things. I'm a very crafty person, so if you have any ideas on how I can make money, it would be very helpful! And i don't want to do anything illegal.
Please and thank you!
Lyssa. 14/F

You said that you can make alot of things like bracelets and such. Well just like how the native americans do it, you can make a wide assortment of accessories, jewelery, dream catchers, earrings, all kinds of things. If you make quite a bit of it and sell it at a reasonable price, you can get a bit of money off of it. You can especially talk to the snack shack and see if you can also sell your accessories along while when you're working and see if you can't work something out, like having a side counter for all of it. See if you can't get a few friends to help ya or something.

The fact is that you're 14 and you're not going to get a high paying job. I'm almost 18 and I still can only get jobs that are minimum wage and not many hours. The key is to save your money. If you worked every weekend at this snack shack and had your mom give you money once or twice during the month then you'd have $120-140 at the end of the month for clothes or whatever it is that you want to buy. I don't know many kids who get paid for chores, it's normally just expected of them so I wouldn't say you're missing out on that one. You're 14 so it's not like you have a car to put gas in or pay insurance for, its basically just your shopping trips that you want money for which is understandable. My best advice to you would be to get your working papers if you don't already have them and go out and get a job. It's not going to be the greatest job or most fun but it's money and you're going to have to do what you gotta do to get what you want. If your town has craft fairs then you can make some stuff for that but don't count on it as a source of income.
