Allowance/Pocket Money

[Yes_Its_Ross]

Do you play videogames or anything like that? A good idea is selling your old videogames or toys that you used to play with but have no use for now. Since you play runescape I assume you could probably make a couple hundred just off old videogames you might have.

If you can, maybe try this,

 

 

 

Be an umpire, I was from age 12-16 and you can make really, really good money. It is steady income and you can usually pick which days you want to work and what time of the day. When I was an umpire, I got around 15-25 dollars a game (depending on which age group you umped), and did maybe 8-10 games a week. The games only last like an hour and a half, sometimes much less (forfeits) and then you just get like 20 dollars for showing up :) . The only downside is when you ump older age groups, sometimes the parents get a little crazy... Good luck hope that helped.

Firstly, I'm paid $3 a week + $20 every month for a chore each day that usually takes about 10 mins (CAD), but I'm 13 :P.

 

Secondly, don't do the " buy stuff for me if I do chores", do the chore(s) then request/ demand a preset amount of money.

 

Also, maybe signed agreements? Those work for me.

If you want to work for you money, try working for relatives if your parents keep 'scamming' you. My friend earns money from cleaning her grandparents windows. It doesn't sound very glamourous but it's better than smooching off your parents.

I had my first summer job when i was 14, at a small-medium store, gained 350 pesos the week, which was okay, i bought my Gamecube that way :P

 

 

 

Then at 15 i had another summer job at a Dairy Queen which was inside a cinema, which means fun \

 

 

 

When i reached 16 i started to work part time at a cinema, but i got fired like 3 months ago. >_>

 

 

 

And that's the story of my life. I will probably get another job, but i'm VERY interested in online surveys, i wonder how those work o.O

Its easy for Alaskans like me, we can just commercial fish for like $5,000 a summer. Yeah, we rule.

Well, I worked at age 14 at ShopRite. I saved a bunch of money from there, went in and out of a couple other jobs and just recently landed a new job at BJ's Warehouse starting at $11/hour for the first 3 months, then to $14 an hour. Just save the money you get, don't buy trivial things, and stay in school, I took a year off and I'm starting again in the summer, should of just stuck with it.

I do chores and mow. Sometimes I get money just because they're in a good mood. Not often though. I'm ready for a part-time job soon. I won't have much in the way of costs for a while, so I'm just gonna save a lot of it. I might try to bus or wait tables, although I doubt I can wait anywhere until I'm 18. Bussing wouldn't be bad, though. I know a guy who makes enough for a lotta stuff because he works 14 hours every Saturday.

My parents started paying me 20$ a week after I basically took care of my mom for an entire summer, and did all the work after she had major surgery that basically disabled her from doing much for 3 months. This included doing almost all the shopping (She would be in the passengers seat when I was driving, since I only had my permit then, not my license), cooking and cleaning. And they've kept it at that ever since. So 1000$ a year isn't bad for someone my age. Plus I get 12/hr working during the summer, which brings in another 3000$ working like 25 hours a week. Altogether not too bad.

I mowed lawns, raked leaves, and shoveled snow when I was younger. At about age 16 I was trained professionally to run a soundboard and I do that and work at a Pepsi factor part-time.

 

 

 

Just start doing chores without asking for pay then (with cute puppy eyes) ask them if they could start paying you because you need money for things.

[Joes_So_Cool]

I never really thought about this, I do "chores" that "pay" for my texting and internet on my phone, and then whenever I ask my mom or step-dad for money they'll give me $20 or so.
