When I was 14 I started a lawn care business. I made fliers and passed them around my neighborhood. I spend most of my summer working, but I made quite a bit of money and learned some valuable money management skills. If you don't want to mow lawns perhaps you could baby sit or do some other sort of chore. It also teaches wise use of money. If you have to work really hard for money, you don't tend to spend it as fast!

Ok, you will need to earn an average of $5.50 a day for the next 365 days to pull this off and not spend any of it.

Find some sort of chore you can do for your family or neighbors that pays you like $10 for an hour of work. Spend an hour a day 4 days a week and you should hit your goal. If you can do more then go for it.

The biggest hurdle is not spending the money. Also, keep it safe. It would suck if someone found the money you were saving and helped themselves to it.

Some employers will hire 14 year olds, but child labor laws limit your hours. Babysitting, dog sitting, dog walking, lawn mowing, dog poop pickup, snow shoveling, paper routes (daily or weekly) are all classic kid jobs. Work consistently and budget accordingly (10 months 'til next summer is $200 per month). Spending money comes AFTER you have stashed away what you want to save per month.
