I am 19 right now and have about 7k saved from all the random jobs and things I did as I grew up. Here is my advice to you. Collect cans, they are a great way to earn money and then hire little kids in the neighborhood to collect them for you. Here is how it works. Let's say you make a dollar a pound of cans. That means you make 1 dollar for ever 27 cans you take in. What I use to do is pay kids 25 cents for every 25 cans they bought to me. You do little to no work and you make 75 cents per transaction for nothing. Take into consideration the fact that the average family drinks 10 sodas a day and there are 10 households in your direct neightborhood with kids... You are make $3 a day for doing NOTHING. Now at $3 a day it will take you forever to buy a anything but if you guarentee that you will put that money into a savings account and perhaps get your parents to match how much money you put it that could easy double in no time.

Babysitting and dog walking are great options.
Babysitting is best to get 'customers' by word of mouth. Offer to babysit for your Moms friend for free one night in exchange for referrals to friends that are willing to pay. You can get a lot of gigs this way.
Get dog walking kicked off by posting flyers in your neighborhood.
Also, when I was younger we didn't really have defined 'chores' so I would offer to do the dishes or clean the bathroom (no one likes that job so they are willing to pay) for a few extra dollars. But, dont expect this to make you a lot of money.
Good luck...and remember, with money comes responsibility!

First , drop that nonsense about a lot of $$$$ because it means you are too immature ,
Or willing to be a hooker to nasty old men .
The only ways for a 14 yr old to make alot ,
Will land you in jail and the bail will be even more than you made .
Get real , start doing yard work or walking dogs or whatever you can for the neighbors .
Talk sensible dollar amounts that do not make you sound like a 10 year old .

Babysitting. Since you can't legally get a job, that would be the best way.
