Your Questions About Ideas To Make Money For Kids

Jenny asks…

Anybody have some good ways for kids to make money?

I am 12 and I need to start making money because it’s summer, I have friends’ birthday parties coming up, and I just wanna do stuff with my friends and get new clothes. I need ideas for jobs I can do. Please help!

Nagesh answers:

1. Ask your parents if there are any jobs around the house you could do for extra money like cleaning, taking care of pets, etc.
2. Ask your neighbors if they need any yard work done and that you could do it for cheap.
3. If you are responsible and have young kids in the family, try babysitting. 12 is a little young so it should only be for family. For example, if you have a little cousin, you could help take care of “it” (haha)..
4. (I know this is little kidd-ish, but you could do it with your friends to make it more fun) Have a lemonade stand. You could also get help from an adult and bake some things like cupcakes or brownies and make it a bake sale/lemonade stand.

Be creative and good luck! 🙂

What are good ways for kids to make money?

I’m 15 and my friend is 13 and we need to make a little extra cash, but we don’t know how… We have come up with selling stuff on ebay but we are to young for a paypal account or having a garage sale (but none of us live like in town). Any ideas?

Doing chores for your parents or neighbours? Have like a car wash or cut peoples grass? That’ what I used to do when I was younger!

Nagesh answers:

Save up as much money as you can and DONT spend it on anything else! Maybe you can rake leaves for your neighbor or sell some of your old things for money at a garage sale where you can make a lot of money!

Ideas for a kid to make some money?

Please! My parents aren’t doing good with their jobs and I want to help them by making some extra bucks… Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to help? I’m 13 about to be 14 and I’m in 8th grade.

Thanks 🙂

Nagesh answers:

You can babysit, be a tutor, I don’t know if newspaper delivery is still common for teens or not. You can also walk around your block and see if any of your neighbors would pay you for yardwork (trimming trees and bushes, mowing the lawn).

It’s a really nice gesture to offer to work to help out your parents, but you should talk to them about it first. They probably won’t mind you working if you can find a job, but they may not just accept the money from you. If they don’t want to accept it, just think of it this way: you using the money you earn on extra things for yourself is helping them save more of the money that they make!
