Answer 1

Grandparents are usually easier to hit up for money than parents. Why not see if you can help with chores ... family, friends, neighbors ... to wash windows or sweep garages or just visit with elderly people for a couple of hours??? There are things you can do to make money if you put your mind to it. Your local library has alot of books on young people and money. Here's a sample list from my library:

Fast Cash for Kids … Bonnie & Noel Drew
Better than a Lemonade Stand … Daryl Bernstein
50 Money Making Ideas for Kids … Lauree & L Allen Burkett
Jobs for Kids … Carol Barkin & Elizabeth James
The Kids’ Business Book … Arlene Erlbach
Making Cents … Elizabeth Wilkinson
Make More Money Than Your Parents … Mike Bundlie and Others
How to Be a Teenage Millionaire … Art Beroff

Answer 2

Another idea to add to the many ideas already offered: see if you can collect a bunch of empty cans and bottles that carry a refund value, say, 3 cents or 5 cents apiece (in fact I think some might even be as high as ten cents). It depends on which state you live in (I'm assuming you're located in the U.S.) but many states have bottle returns that are worth 5 cents a bottle.

So go around the neighborhoods and streets and see what you can rummage up. But don't fall into a big dumpster and get stuck, like a friend of mine did many years ago when he was searching for cans and bottles! Oh well, that's another story...

Good night, and good luck. Col. Kurtz.

Answer 3

Assuming your mom/dad/relatives are ok with what you are going to buy at the store, you can let them know that you are saving for something special and would like to help out for a small wage.

Are there some chores that you can do around the house to earn a few dollars? Are there any friendly dogs you can walk in the neighborhood?

If what they would pay for your help around the house does not amount to 37 bucks in a month, perhaps they can loan you the extra and you can write out an IOU (I OWE YOU) for the rest. You would have to continue doing the chores until you've paid off the loan.

It's good practice for the working world.

Answer 4

ask you patents if their is something that you can do around the house like washing the car or cleaning up after diner and get it so that you earn the money from you parents and if that doesn't work ask your neighbors if there is something that you can do for them by Feb 2nd you should have earned that 37.00 good luck

Answer 5

This is what my girls do. I am not sure where you live here we still have tons of leaves on the ground so my girls get our rack and trash bags and offer to rake lawns for our older neighbors for 5.00 They do a very good job and usually get a tip so they make about 5.00 a yard other ideas

dog walking 5.00
take out trash for older neighbors 1.00
Clean out a neighbors hamster cage 5.00
Pooper scooping 5.00 per dog

Be creative and good luck
