What is the best way to make money as a teenager?

Question

I really need a new computer before this one breaks again. I am saving my pocket money and I've recently got a job. Can you please give me any realistic, helpful suggestions? I just need plenty of suggestions and then I can evaluate! Thank you for your time. : ) Please help!

Answer 1

You can mow people's grass in your neighborhood, babysit, offer to help out family/friends with favors in return for a little cash. One interesting way to earn some money is collecting unwanted items from people you know (an old lamp here, a used table there) and having a yard sale.

Most people like to help out teens that are willing to work hard for something they want. Don't be afraid to tell everyone you know the goal you are working towards. Good luck!

Answer 2

I think that $20 is more than enough. When I was a teenagers (about 8yrs ago) mum didn't have much money to give us every week, we only got about $5, but when we wanted to go to the movies or a little bit of spending money to go out with friends mum gave us about $20. I understood that we were not rich, but I never felt deprived. What does a teenager need that you don't already buy for them anyway. These days when teens ask their parent to buy a Cd, an Ipod, clothes etc... Parents buy them all that anyway, so why give them even more money that they only end up spending on stuff they don't even need, they just spend it because they got it. How much you give is how much they will spend, they will always want more anyway.

The way I save money is by not spending too much on junk food or just things that I dont need like CDs or other stuff. I usually give the money to my parents so they can put it into my savings account and since I am able to carry a ATM Card with me, I use it only in emergencies.

Also, try not to briing too much money in your pocket, thats attempting!

Money flow in technical analysis is typical price multiplied by volume, a kind of approximation to the dollar value of a day's trading.

Money flow index (MFI) is an oscillator calculated over an N-day period, ranging from 0 to 100, showing money flow on up days as a percentage of the total of up and down days.

The calculations are as follows. The typical price for each day is the average of high, low and close,


Money flow is the product of typical price and the volume on that day.


Totals of the money flow amounts over the given N days are then formed. Positive money flow is the total for those days where the typical price is higher than the previous day's typical price, and negative money flow where below. (If typical price is unchanged then that day is discarded.) A money ratio is then formed


From which a money flow index ranging from 0 to 100 is formed,


This can be expressed equivalently as follows. This form makes it clearer how the MFI is a percentage,


MFI is used as an oscillator. A value of 80 is generally considered overbought, or a value of 20 oversold. Divergences between MFI and price action are also considered significant, for instance if price makes a new rally high but the MFI high is less than its previous high then that may indicate a weak advance, likely to reverse.

It will be noted the MFI is constructed in a similar fashion to the relative strength index. Both look at up days against total up plus down days, but the scale, ie. what is accumulated on those days, is volume (or dollar volume approximation rather) for the MFI, as opposed to price change amounts for the RSI.

It's important to be clear about what "money flow" means. It refers to dollar volume, ie. the total value of shares traded. Sometimes finance commentators speak of money "flowing into" a stock, but that expression only refers to the enthusiasm of buyers (obviously there's never any net money in or out, because for every buyer there's a seller of the same amount).

For the purposes of the MFI, "money flow", ie. dollar volume, on an up day is taken to represent the enthusiastism of buyers, and on a down day to represent the enthusiasm of sellers. An excessive proportion in one direction or the other is interpreted as an extreme, likely to result in a price reversal.
