I am starting 7th grade on July 10th and my friend, his brother who is 10, and I are trying to earn money to buy a computer. I know we won't save enough before school starts, but is there anything we can do to earn some money?

Lets see 7th grade that means your 13 or 14 that's old enough to push a lawn mower, ask your folks if you can borrow the mower and try to earn some money for a PC if they say yes then ask the neighbors if they need someone to mow for them until school starts , only other thing I can think of is pick up aluminum cans and sell them to the recyclers

The Pet- sitting responce was good...not only that but throw in watering the plants too...during the summer ...
you'd probably have to start with friends or neighbors...after a-few Gigs try a few fliers .....cutting Lawns is alright too

When I was 9, I started dog- and house-sitting for neighbors when they went on vacation. Several kids I knew delivered newspapers. I've heard that some kids have been successful on eBay and other online pursuits! Good luck, you'll find something that can make you money. Congrats on your desire to do so!

try this, it got me through highschool:
Buy a bag of blow pops from the candy store/grocery store.
then, during breaks at school< sell them in the hallway for 25 cents a pop. your Return on investment is 300%. Keep this up for 3 months, and you will have 100s of dollars

I am going to give you my secret:) Get stencils from the office supply store & buy a can of white & black spray paint. Paint house numbers on the curbs for people. We made $100.00's a day...Let me know how it goes:)

Gardening and helping your parents may be a good way.
