My parents told me being a teen means more responsibilities. When I asked them for money they told me, "You have to start earning them. Like your big brother." The only problem is i don't know how. I don't know how to start of! Where do I go or what should I do? Please help me! PLEASE! Oh yeah they give me money sometimes...but it's used for school stuff OR if it's something really important.
I understand what they are saying that I have more responsibilities and stuff like that, but well, I just need to earn money.
Any other tips than walking the dog or babysittng? please You can't get a job until you're 15, so I guess you could babysit or help around the house. Go through some of your cloths that don't fit, or that you never wear, go through jewlery and other things as well and then find a nice store such as New To You or Twice as Nice and take them in for money.
Baby sit kids,Walk dogs, Wash cars and try to get a part time job over the summer at a fast food place, a family owned restraunt or at safeway/fry's.
I also think it is unfair that you are only 13 and they wont give you any money. Your chances of getting a job are really low, so you should talk to them and tell them it is unfair and tell them to be more realistic. Recycle!! This has landed me a lot of money. You can check out www.phoneiscash.com, emptysolution, and phoneraiser. Not only do they send you the materials you need to recycle, but they provide price quotes for empty ink and laser cartidges, PSPs, iPods, and old cell phones. They will also proved you with printed material to pass around. I made $350.00 in just a month for sending old cell phones of mine and my friends. It is really simple, environmentally friendly, and best of all...FREE Your mother didn't literally mean that you have to do work,chores etc. She simply means that you have to value money and not spent it unwisely to things that aren't really that important. In short know your necessities and not your luxuries coz luxuries are "the comforts of life that are beyond necessary"... Get it?
Hope this helps...
Godspeed! That is an excellent question. It is an age old question and easier to answer than to do. As a single parent I am looking at what I wanted to have done around the home.
I liked when I found someone to mow the lawn, even occasionally was wonderful.
Are you good with animals? Pet walking or sitting. Even letting a dog outside while the owner is at work. I know several people where I work who left work during the day to let there there puppies out while they were potty training them.
Maybe you can help grade school children with homework.
Your question caught my eye because I just asked the same question for myself on "Answers." As an adult I was looking for money making opportunities.
You sound like a great person. I'm sure you will be successful.
Please be careful to be precise with monetary dealings with others. People become very possessive of their money and may not be fair with their payments. It may be helpful to include your parents in your job endeavors. I hope your parents could advocate for you if the payments you receive are not what you agreed upon. Here is a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:
1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.
2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.
3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.
4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.
5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.
6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.
7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.
