Question

Ok so I know I am 12 and you people thik that I don't need money but I do! All my friends have good money and I am a kid and if I like something I want it. Plus I want to help my parents. we are so deep in morgage and stuff. I was thinking about babysitting but I don't think that is legal in IL. so ya. Plus if it is hw much should I charge and how should I let people know about me in a safe way. Also should I do it @ my house or theirs. Also I cannot take out trash and stuff becuz the old people in my neighborhood are mean and never want help. I don't get an allowance either. Plus I hating asking my parents for $$ becuz they never have it. I just really need it and I would appreiciate if you guys would give a 12 year old some good advice. Please and thank you!

Answer 1

I know how you feel! When I was your age I needed money too! Do you like animals? How about dog walking? Put up signs on the bullitan board at your local grocery store. But educate yourself on it first. Google the subject dog walkers, read up on it a bit and see if it's something that could appeal to you. And don't cheat! Be fair to the people and the dogs.

Answer 2

awww... i feel u, when i was ur age i felt the same way.. its hard but u have to learn to live without..if u want to help ur parents, help around the house, do good in school and make choices that make them proud. they are working so hard to provide for u, just apercaite that... u could try to earn some money doin some of the things u mentioned, but doing someones homework is bad, and u could get into trouble. u could offer to tutor younger kids tho... i will even help u.. save the money u earn for something meaningful and that u really want to spend it on... chances are at 12 it'll be almost impossible to earn allot of money (enough to get everything u want, help ur parents) now is the time u get to learn the real value of a dollar... its harder making money then it looks.. good luck, learn to appercaite the things u have. u sound like a very bright, nice, caring, and smart girl...stay that way ♥

Answer 3

Well I think you should do a yard sale or a bake sale not a lemonade stand cuz u wont make money at all. or if u hav video games go to gamestop or eb games and they will buy ur games for a pretty good price depending on how good of condition it's in.

Such answer can be found in school

if you can make someone's assignment, and ask for payment, that is how you can make money.
When i was in school, my friends give me $2 per assignment and $3 for projects. And i could make a lot by saving $2-3 in my pocket.

and when you are a scholar, you could no longer ask for tuition from your parents, but keep up the job of doing projects and assignments. It could really help you and your parents.

Answer 5

I have seen kids on TV start businesses and do well. I recommend doing some research on these youngsters.

I think that the lip balm I use; "chicken poop" was invented by a teen or rather the marketing idea.
