Good luck! Try to save at least 20% of the money you earn each time. It's never too early to start preparing for retirement.

I think it is admirable that you have a good work ethic at such a young age. Unfortunately by law, in many states you cannot have a real part-time job until your 16 years old for good reasons.

Uhm, try odd jobs around your town or city. Like cleaning things or walking dogs. If you live in a small town, you could try corn detassling if you think you can handle it since it's pretty tough work. I think that's mostly what a 13-year-old can do. Unless the laws are different where you are as you have to be 16 where I'm at to have an official job.
