Ask your parents for a loan.

Offer to do chores for your neighbors and parents this weekend (wash cars, do house work, clean garages, babysit)

Go to the grocery store parking lot and carry bags for tips

1. Sell video games or dvd's to the gamestop or cd trader in your town

2. Ask neighbors if you can mow their lawns or shovel snow (depending on where you live in the country) for a few extra bucks this weekend

3. Get a few of your friends together and have a car wash -- You could make a lot more than $50 even after you divide the money with your friends

4. Borrow the money from your family or friends

5. Ask your parents if there are some extra chores or obb jobs that they need done around the house that they would be willing to pay you for doing

6. Ask your friends who have cars if you can wash their cars -- Charge them $10 and you will only have to wash 5 cars to make the money

7. Are there any kids you know that need babysitters this weekend? Their parents would pay you...5 hours of babysitting = $50

Good Luck

Consider selecting various items that you do not use or readily use and try selling them online. If you are a collector consider selling some of your items online on the appropriate forums or if you must use evilbay.

If you don't know what these potential items might be to sell, consider this, if you haven't used it in one year it is fair game. If you have extra clothing you haven't worn, books you haven't read, cds unlistened to or not longer of interest, toys you don't play with, the possiblities are nearly endless.

However, in the end your best bet might be to ask your parents or close family members for a small loan. Now to some this might be a cop out, but pause for a moment... what is the real reason why you need the money? If this is for something legitimate I would not be surprised if your parent(s), sibling, or extended family or friends would not seriously consider loaning you some of the monies. But, you need to be honest with them and most importantly, with yourself. Be prepared to explain yourself, but be humble and truthful, it will carry you farther than you think.

Lastly, once you obtain the desired funds, make sure to rethank each and every single individual who helped you. Then when you are able to work more, repay each of them as quick as possible, in general you do not want to owe people money no matter what the reason. Good luck!

Offer to do some chores for your parents, or neighbors, like shoveling snow, dog walking, etc. Or, offer to babysit for a couple nights for a family member or friend this weekend. That's a good way to earn quick money right there. You could start your own dog walking service, right in and around your own neighborhood and charge $5 for two walks a day per dog or something--take a bunch of dogs for a walk at once, and you're halfway there! If everything else fails, maybe you have a nice family member or friend who would be willing to lend you the money, until you can pay them back. Be creative and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Do you have anything you could sell that would add up to $50. You could sell CD's, DVD's that you no longer want. Check to see if you have someone in your town that buys used ones. Also, check with some of your older neighbors or single moms, they may need yard work or some maintanence done around their house. I pay $25 for 2 1/2 hours of work on my yard ($10 hr). Someone may need a room painted. You could easily make $50 painting a small room (they buy the paint). Good luck.

Sell things. What can you sell? What have you got? CDs and books can get you some money, but usually not much. How about car parts? Things your friends like? (Ask lots of friends for $5, or $1, and have a good excuse. Don't be sullen.)

It's unethical, but you could also go door to door asking for donations. You need AT LEAST reasonable looking paperwork for that though. That means you take down names and amounts, and accept checks, even if it means you'll have to give them back. You could also get some money from fountains. Look like a maintenance guy if you can. People don't like to question people wearing uniforms.

You could ask your science teacher if he needs anything or would pay for some natural thing you have time to find. Bones, for instance.

Do odd jobs... I know that there is more than one family around your block that needs a little help with the clean-up of yards. Maybe walking dogs, painting fences...

You could also do a Yard Sale... get some of that stuff that you buy and really don't use and sell it. Weekend is coming up, and many people go out shopping... remember that one man's trash can be another man's treasure.

Go around getting pop cans from your friends to return
Collect change from your couch/the car
Shovel snow
Walk dogs
Babysit
Ask your parents if they will loan it to you, and you can pay them back. Good luck on that, 50 dollars is a lot to just waste on a toy or video game so your parents probably wont give you the money unless its for something important

Why do you need to have it in 31/2 days?

I have found several legitimate work at home sites so far, and one of them made me $494+ in October, $700+ in November, and $838.57 in December. They are free to join.


Please click my screen name or avatar for more information and a link for proof of payment and lots of specific details.


I made some nice money at first, but once I found out these sites were legitimate, I started adding referrals and the money got a lot better. For every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn on 2 of these sites. And for every person that one of your referrals refer, you get 10% on one site and 5% on the other. In time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you.

If you get 5 referrals who earn $20 a month, that is an extra $20 in your pocket. If you get 100 referrals earning $20 a month, that is an extra $400 you'll earn every month!!!

And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.

Note: There are a lot of other sites listed too as well as the payout for each.

Sell something of yours. You're 16, I'm sure you have a stereo or IPOD or MP3 player or something of value you can take to a pawn shop or sell to one of your friends. If you take it to a pawn shop they'll give you a ticket and you have a certain number of days and you can still get it back. Good luck.
