Money For Friday!!!!?

Question

I need some money for friday, £100 for an ipod nano

Here are some things I'm unable to do:

1) Mow lawns (no lawns!)

2) Babysit

3) I'm only 13 so no jobs that would pay that much

4) Chores (parents won't pay for me to them ¬_¬ )

5) Sell on ebay as
A) I have nothing to sell
B) It would take ages to actually sell the item

Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

It isn't going to happen. You aren't going to get 100 pounds by Friday.

You are learning an important life lesson, which if you listen, will serve you well for years to come. We all want things we can't have. Everyone. We all want things we can't afford. Everyone. I want a new car. I don't have one. It doesn't make sense for me to have one. Do I still want it? Yes.

If you want an iPod nano, you will have to save over time to get the money for it, just like adults do. Work for it. Save your allowance if you have one. Let your parents know that you really want one and are willing to work towards it.

You do realize that after you get the iPod that you are going to want a bunch more stuff, right? You'll want a cool carrying case, you'll want things to plug it into (alarm clock, or whatever). What about music for it? Are you going to want to use iTunes?

good luck!

See if you can be grocery delivery boy for neighbors. I've been to the U.K. a few times and this might be a neat service for folks there. Your neighbors can give you a list of things to buy at the market plus the cash to pay for the items. You could make the purchases, deliver the groceries back the to the patrons and charge them a flat fee. Say £5 per trip with orders of £25 or more. No stopping at the pub!

I know that 13 is bit young for real employment but maybe some of the Pizza restaurants or Fish/Chips vendors would hire you to deliver for them.

Good Luck!!
