Since I bought Disney Infinity, I'm in lack of money. I want to get more character, which cost 10€ each, or 20€ for a pack of 2 or 3 characters with power disks/playset.

 

So, I don't have a job and I can't have one as well, because I'm not an adult and I'm stil at school.

 

My parents don't give me money per month or per week or even when I do the chores around the house... They rarely put some cents on my "piggy ban"/moneybox... 

 

I only make 50€(max) when it's my birthday or Christmas... and my birthday is only happening on September...

 

How in the world can I make money?...

sell stuff

Sell drugs or suck dick

 

Well to make money, I babysit. It's super easy in my opinion. You could sell some old games on eBay, I've been meaning to do that for a while. Walk around the neighborhood and see if your neighbors need a pet sitter or any work around the yard done. See if you can sell candy at school, buy it in bulk and sell it for $1 a piece.

Where I live... such things don't happen'. I don't like ebay and my fatehr is selling my old games ,but the money it's for him...

 

No one needs a babysitter or pet-sitter here. I also can't take care of children...

Then you could always try the first two suggestions.... maybe

 

Or sell stuff at your school. You have to get creative and put in hard work if you expect to earn money, it won't just come to you (unless you get lucky)

Only choices is to either sell stuff you own or get a job even though it'll eat up time.  Yes, there are things like paid for surveys and slicethepie(music review site) but you won't make a lot of money off them quickly.  

Them I'm doomed...

Also, those kinds of websites are sometimes scams, so I'd recommend avoiding them altogether. 

 

It's cliche, but you'd be surprised how much a simple food stand can bring in. Do you have a local farmer's market? Head there and set up a little booth (these are usually completely free) where you sell lemonade, hot chocolate, popsicles--whatever. A lot of people bring their kids, and if it's cold out and you're selling warm food and drinks, you'll definitely make some money. 

- Sell games you don't want anymore

 

This is a good way to make some fast cash. Especially if you got retro games (Don't go to stores like GameStop, or GAME for that matter). Shops that take interest in retro games are the best shops to gain more money from this.

 

- Do favours for your parents/relatives

 

Although you won't gain much money, those quarters build up through time. And if you do hard work, it's a free gym (:

 

- Sell hand-made keychains

 

I did this a lot in middle school. Our teachers taught us how to make hand-made keychains with plastic little ropes, and we got a good amount out of them.

Hum... sorry, but only scum does that around here.... like for drugs, beer, those stuff...

I actually did that candy thing as a child. I made really good money because i lived in an apartment complex. Kids would actually come to my door and ask for candy or sometimes i would walk around with a shopping basket filled with the candy and sell it like that. I remember getting a ps1 this way. good times.

You can sell your body for decent cash. Or like, do work for people or sell stuff, like your body

Most the survey ones are, but Slicethepie is not.  It's only like 5-10 cents per review but you can't take any out til you have at least $10, it's very time consuming and in my opinion not worth the time

Believe me, they will.

 

A friend of mine still uses one of those for his car keys, and he bought it from my sister in 2006

If you have a lot of games, sell the ones you don't play anymore online like on eBay or Half.com or something. You can make quite a lot of money if they're somewhat rare and the time is right, like how I sold Xenoblade Chronicles for like $100 before the price deflated. Of course they take out a small percentage for commission, but if you have games worth selling, it's very much worth it.

Order it from amazon

You can clean houses around your neighborhood. Or if you're musically talented, you can play an instrument on the street and wait for tips (This method wouldn't bring in too much money, but you can have fun while working.)

Well its probably not alot of help but I babysit for my neighbor and depending on how long I stay I end up making around $20-$30 

So maybe one of your parents friends needs someone to babysit every once in a while.

I'll pay you 200 bucks to clean my room :I

Hum... sorry, but only scum does that around here.... like for drugs, beer, those stuff...

Maybe you're thinking of something different? Those are definitely not things allowed at farmer's markets. Farmer's markets are where local farmers and stuff sell stuff like flowers, fruits, veggies, etc. and they're usually mostly filled with old people and kids.

Once again, where I live no one needs babysitter and I don't want to make msyelf look stupid by putting papers around crowded places. I don't live on the US or anything...

Go clean it yourself.

I don't turst ebay and I have no iea how it works. Also, m yfather wouldn't allow me.

 

Msot of the PS3 games I have I like... I could sell "The last Of Us"...

Order it from amazon

Like that makes sense.

I mean the people who sell such things are only getting the cash in order to buy those stuff. No "ordiany" people clean houses, sell candies, babysit or anything like this as teenagers where I live. I mean, everyone has their money from their parents per month, so no one complains -.-'

Your loss xDEdit because I read your full post: Plenty people do those things I know people who do even more menial jobs then that. Not everyone has mommy and daddy to pay the way for them. If you really want those things fi d a job and earn it.Words of wisdom by devereauxr

Who say you have to be ordinary? You want the cash so be prepared to work for it. And you must be pretty desperate if you came to this site to ask for help.  If none of our suggestions are working for you, maybe throw some ideas our way and we can help you with them?

 

edit: sorry that is worded a little harshly, I mean it in a friendly way lol

Ask your parents if you can do extra work around the house to make extra money and/or try to do stuff for friends, family, neighbors whoever. If you live in a cold place this time of year shoveling snow can pay decently. In the summer and spring there's always lawns that need mowing and in the fall there's always leaves that need raking. 

 

Start with yard work and go with that. 

 

From reading your responses to other people giving you advice it seems that either your family just doesn't want you to work, or you aren't willing to work. 

 

If the first case is true then I'm sorry bud. If it's the second, it's called work for a reason. There is no such thing as "easy money". The skill and labor required for a job varies, but dedication is always required and possibly the most important thing to have. If you're not willing to spend the vast majority of your time working, then don't bother. 

 

 

Only desesperate and jobless people do. I mean, everyone has their money from their parents per month, so no one complains -.-'

 

 

Guess what, you're desperate and jobless too. Don't act like you're above other people because you certainly aren't. 

 

Your parents are doing the right thing limiting the amount of money they give you. It seems you have little understanding of it's value and the labor required to obtain it. Hopefully you will learn soon enough.
