Shannon C. Hello Everybody! Hope you are having a great day! I was wondering if anyone would like to give me suggestions on how to make 200 more dollars. I am 12 years old (13 in October), a straight A student, and am even in Honors. I am pretty sure that I want the LG Dare from Verizon Wireless. I sell jewelry, but it's really hard to sell since: 1. I only make it at my dad's house (parents are divorced) and I only see him 4 days a month... and
2. I don't really work anywhere so how can I advertise?
I have a very hectic life (I am a Level 8 competitive gymnast and commute 15 miles each day...) and so it's hard to do things like babysitting. I don't get allowance since my mom is struggling financially so that idea of earning money by chores doesn't work. I don't have a babysitter's licence so I can't babysit unless I take a class over the summer. The only time I could take a babysitting class and babysit, walk dogs, and do stuff like that would be on the weekends and after 3 p.m during the summer. If you have suggestions please tell me! And if you would like to buy any jewelry call 253-307-6906. I also sell computerized greeting cards for any occasion, along with certificates. Call 253-307-6906 for either. Thank you so much! P.S. The price for the jewelry is 7.50-9.99 and the cards are 1.50 each, and certificates are 2.00. Have a wonderful day and please help!

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

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
