Kelsey i think it is harder than people think for kids to earn money because i am always willing to help but my budget is so small... I am a 12 year old with plenty of experience with computers, sports, cars, pets, and plenty of other things and i never can afford anything and none of these ideas work so dont believe a single person you dont know i mean if you infer this information then it all falls into order...
Thank-You...

GarageSaleGeek Money tip:
Get all your friends together and have a garage sale. Use different coloured tags for ea. person.
Then, someone else who doesnt have anything to sell can start a drink stand. Then, each of you will have a profit. All you have to do is agree on who's garage.

Kaitlyn Hi, I saved up for a Hiptop Slide in a matter of about 3 weeks! and it cost $670. It was easy. All you have to do is whenever there is a chance to earn money, take it. dont sit around wondering if u should take it or not. I am now saving up for a macbook and i already have $470! These are some jobs that i use to do for a bit of money. ; Wash, clean and vaccum the car for $15, clean doors for $3 per door, vaccum for $10, mop for $7, help out with my dads business for $20 per load, make beds for $2 per bed, make breakfast for $3 per person, draw drawings and sell them for $4 per drawing, clean out my closet & toy cupboard & garage and sell items and i usually get about $200 when i advertise it in the paper, massage people for $9, mow the lawn for $15 for the front and $10 for the back, and soo much more! i had a money tin that you cant open and every time i put money in, i recorded it, cos i didnt really even have anything to spend it on while i was saving for my phone. and say to yourself while you are saving and you want to spend money " need not want". Anyway, I hope i have helped all you complainers that want something but dont do anything to accomplish it. And i am 11 years old and i live in Australia so im not old enough to have a job, and by the way, having a date set to earn you money is good, but i find it annoying because its stupid when you dont have a propper job! i mean we are only in our tweens and you have dates set to save up for something when u dont even do anythign 2 earn money, bye cya, hope ive helped 7/6/2008
booobear i wanna get a new cell...my old 1 has gotten water damage soo i cant use itt...the cell i want costs no more thn 250.00$ i have to strt from scratch n earn my own money...n dont kno how to earn itt fast...any tips! 7/5/2008
jt I think some of you are selfish with some of these desires but parents will tell you there is no easy money but I have found ways to make hard but quick money
1.if you live on the water like me I found $25 is reasonable for bleaching the dock
2. also mow lawns for 10-15 dollars depending on size
3.dogsit most peole won't trust you to groom it you could easily ask for 5 bucks an hour
4. omg do landscaping I did a complete weading job for 150 cash
5.also just ask if you can do things around the house for extra alowence
I'm thirteen and am looking foward to next year when I can get a job cus I'm savn up for 700 dollar guitar

Kya Hi! I'm under 12 and I need 2 earn $180 by July 18. That's 3 wks. I'm trying 2 earn enough 2 buy a cell phone b4 i go 2 arkansas 2 c my grandparents (i only c them 3 times a yr so... i really want them 2 c it soon) I only get half of everything i earn (half goes n2 savings.). anyone have good ideas 4 earning lots of cash quick? 7/2/2008
wise artemisia You could always do jewlery home-made like necklaces or bake some cookies,or you could put up a flyer saying you are willing to wash windows,and do odd jobs.And you could get ALOT of money by grooming pets,but be sure to ask the person you're doing service to if they would like you to use a special brush on the pets 7/1/2008
.:::MADY:::. seriously i no money is awesome but most of u people want it 4 selfish things like ipods phones n games the people who need it to help their familys r actualy using it for something they NEED!think about it if u get a fone how long will it b till u want a nu 1 maybe like a month and a half or sumfing!

n the easiest way to make it its to actualy DO ur jobs at home 4 poketmoney n also if your perants ask u to do something DO it and do it well!
