I have no money.

I mow a old ladies lawn every two weeks and get 20 dollars. so about 40 dollars a month. I can't mow our long any more, my sister has too since she's still living here.

Sorry for sounding like a butt before...it might be tough work, but can't you mow more than one lawn?

I've tired that. Apparently I'm not allowed to do that.

why??

just post stuff on craigslist

One, where am I going to get the money to pay for shipping? Two, the nearest post office where I live is a 5 mile drive, and Three, my parents won't let me.

Number 3 is your only issue. Craigslist is local, so you can meet up with the person your selling your items to in person. No shipping needed. I just recently sold a XBOX 360 game on Craigslist for three times as much GameStop would have gave me.

When I was your age, and even a little younger (Profile says 14), I was selling stuff on Craigslist. I would do stuff like find old bikes and fix them up. I got $75 for a pink banana seat bike once.

Now I have a pretty awesome job at a grocery store (Get paid like $8.10 an hour before taxes and union fees). I walk away with a little more than $160 a week, and save most of it.

You can get a job at 14 around me (It's really, really hard. But you could try).

Edit:

Oh yeah, my neighbor is a real estate agent too, so she would have people who moved out of their house and she would be trying to sell it. But she had to keep the grass cut to sell it obviously, so I did that for her and made $30-40 depending on the size. My other three neighbors are older/had a broken lawn mower at the time so I used to cut their lawns for around the same thing.

I've posted up a sign saying that I would do odd jobs a couple of months ago. Only one person has said anything.

Just pirate all the video games you would normally buy and you'll be about $3,000 richer by the end of the year.

I got the money to buy Pokémon LeafGreen, SoulSilver, Yellow and Green in Japanese by selling stuff to my friend.

What if Duskye tryed to sell his Xbox 360 (hypothetical situation), and the guy who happened to buy it was Old Man Strut That Ass? Ignorance is bliss.

That's why you meet the guy in a public place with one or more adults with you to supervise, it's really not that hard to figure out.

Seems like a sensible compromise.

Dude, flea market + small cash + old video games = GOLD MINE.

Found 7 GameShark SPs for 7 bucks, made 210 (selling each for 25-35 bucks) off of them.

Go and find the valuable games/things. Does not havr to be games just know what to look for. I PROMISE you can double your money each weekend finding good shit. Ebay is your friend.

(Also, apparently Ebay selling is tax deductible according to my huge tax refund )
