when I was around 11, I started an ebay store. I made about $200 in the first week, but after a while, I got lazy with it and stopped. that's a really good and laid back job though, because all you have to do is laze around on the computer and type up item descriptions, and of course, find a place that supplies whatever items you want to sell (I sold rare and collectable CD's and I bought and resold Ipods)

there are preschool camps that pay counselers who are your age. I also did that once, but it's really a lousy job, and a slow way to get $1,500.

if you're good at writing or drawing, there are a lot of websites that have contests offering prizes that are a couple thousand dollars. I entered a "draw your dream bedroom" contest for wayside furniture, and won $500. Look out for things like that.

I also thought the lawn mowing was a great idea. My brother did that for a while.

Best of luck to you, Nick!

first of all that's a lot of money for something so stupid. How long are you going to be into pinball. You should use that kind of money for something you will actually use when you're older, like a car. It'll only be about 4 or 5 more years before you can drive. Secondly, there is no LEGAL way to earn a lot of money in a short time. Patience young grasshopper. If you really want it you'll have to save and take on extra jobs in your neighborhood or something for the money. Hopefully by then you won't want it.

Ask your parents if you could borrow their lawn mower. Tell them you'll keep their lawn mower maintained and pay for the gas, and mow their lawn for free it they let you use their lawn mower to mow the neighbors lawn. I did this when I was your age and made tons of cash, like $500 a week. I don't know if this will work for you because I don't know if you live in a city or not but there are tons of other ways to make cash to. Add more information if the lawn thing won't work and I'll come up with other ideas. Good luck!

Hi Nick, did you ever consider getting some work around the neighborhood? You can ask your neighbors if they need their dog walked, clean out a garage, cut grass, things like that ...wash someone's car.....these are all ways you can make money ask your mom and dad for some other ideas if you do not live in a suburb where you can do these things. Good luck

11 huh? Try printing out pamphlet about some type of chore that you're willing to do within your neighborhood. Maybe mow the law and rake up leaves. There's dog walking. Perhaps look for people that are looking for assistance in purging.

Good luck!

Mowe people's lawns, do a car wash, find stuff you have to sell on Ebay, ask family members if they have stuff you can do for them to earn more money. Its gonna take a while to get that much cash!

Mow lawns, dude!

By the way, you probably won't want this thing in a few weeks, but here's to being young and wanting/having ridiculous crap! Cheers!

You could get a job at a fast food place or something. Or try babysitting (very manly!) or sell some old stuff you don't use anymore. good luck....

its all depends on how fast you want to make it. but you can try raking leaves, cutting grass, walking dogs, taking out trash, selling old things you dont use anymore. have a big yardsale and sell whatever you can! hope this helps!
