How can a 14 Year old Make Money
I'm saving up for a game coming out next year, that I'm assuming will cost around $50 USD. Since I'm saving most of my birthday money for a car and college (and definitely not keys in TF2), I need a way to come up with this money. My parents don't give me allowance anymore for doing chores, and the only place that would offer a job to a 14 year old in my area is closing down. Ideas?

[quote=DexNpqless]Chocolate in ur backpack shouldnt melt. Chocolate in ur pocket would.
Buy lots of chocolate, Drops(fruity candy) Skittles, Chips, etc.
They sell for about 70 cents. You will resell for $1.
(have after sold) (purchased) (actual profit)
1.00 - .70 = .30
10.00 - 7.00 = 3.00
100.00 - 70.00 = 30.00
160.00 - 112.00 = 48.00
(and theres also tax on the game)
so you would have to sell [i]MORE[/i] than [b]$160[/b] worth of candy[/quote]
I'm not sure if I'd be able to sell that much though. Considering how not that many people will know and that there might be other people selling I doubt it could get to that scale.

I would just gather some items that you don't use anymore (like old books?) and sell them to your friends or family at a cheap price, like a book for $3 or something... at least you're getting a few dollars from things that you don't need anymore that are collecting dust around your house
Best of luck with your search ~~

you got a mouth right? all you need to do is dress up in girl's clothes and you're in business. this is 10x easier if you're asian and you look like a girl.
Eh, I'm just going with the candy thing.
Chocolate will melt, though, I'll sell other kinds of candy.
Sell some blood
sell your body.

[quote=yumtoast154]When I was 15 there was a tutoring program at my high school, so I was paid $12 an hour (2 hours a day, 3-4 times a week) to teach middle-schoolers Algebra 1 and/or English.[/quote]
I'd say I'm a mediocre student, and either way I would not be good at teaching.
Jeez, this thread is making me feel bad about myself.

[quote=0xnlbanditx0]Buy stuff at ebay and sell for more.[/quote]
Too risky. The most I know about stuff like that is a hatconomy in TF2. Pretty good with that, though.
@TheOrange: You don't necessarily have to work at the front, you could be in the back washing dishes/cleaning. Who cares what the others think of you, you're making money, and probably doing a damn fine job at it too.
Buy stuff at ebay and sell for more.
[quote=Mclena]Coffee shop/McDonalds?
I'm 14 too, and I can get a job at my local Tim Hortons, or McDonalds after pulling a resume outta my butt, but I don't need the money, therefor I don't see the point in getting the job.
Although, I'm in Canada, so I don't know how easy it is for you guys, if you can at all.[/quote]
I'm a 5"1' little Asian kid, no one will take me seriously there.
@nathan604 How can I do that without being caught?
Your only choice is hustlin with candy bars at school like the other dude said.
