Your Questions About Ways To Make Money Fast For Kids

Susan asks…

What can someone do as a job at 13 to earn extra money?

I have a younger cousin who will be turning 14 by the end of the summer. My uncle-(her dad) does not pay her allowance believing in the strict doctrine that children need all of their necessities-(clothes,shelter,food,education) and that’s it. No allowance even for chores or good grades. My parents are not like that and I feel sorry for her. She is desperate to earn some side money in her free time-(which she has a lot of) but she is young and can neither work at a mainstream restaurant nor tutor. Any other suggestions of a job for someone her age? I really want to help her out but have ran out of ideas.

There are many ways you can earn money. I babysit and I get paid very well. But I think you have to be 13-14 to start.

My Rates

1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour

*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.

Another Idea is to have a bake sale/ lemonade stand. Me and my sisters baked all week, made poster signs and decided how much we should charge for each baking good. Any age is perfect for this job!

Another good job is to start a walking dogs for neighbours that have dogs. You can either put up posters around town, or hand out fliers to people you know that have dogs. I would charge 5 dollars per dog.

Another good job is to wash cars, or open a car wash business with friends for a few days, mow the lawn, shovel drive ways in the winter, and help people clean there house that might need help.

If are 14 years or older, you could also work at fast food restaurants, or grocery stores too.

How to make money for an Ipod Touch ?

I really want to buy an Ipod Touch. I have no way to earn money. Is there anyway I can earn money besides doing chores and delivering newspapers?

P.S. I am not old enough to get a job.

Nagesh answers:

Hi, Im 13 Years old, And about two weeks ago i needed fast money as well! I had to formulate a plan.
So i did, In a Weeks time i made about $19.55.
It wasnt extremly fast but it was my only option

What i did:

First of all, There are not any Legit money makers that will make you $100 or $50 quick, thats for 13 year olds.! I

Next i found a Spot to store all of my money, I ended up putting it in a light at the top of my closet.
Then i developed strategy of Getting money:

1.Nickle & Dimming: This is saving small change like, Pennies, Nickles & Dimes, Why? Because they add up!
There are more lost pennies then any other coin piece.

2.Find it, People are alway going to lose change, You find it, you keep it, You save it!

3.When mom & dad go to the store, Go with them, after they buy, Ask them for the left over change, they may not give you the dollar bills, But thats Ok.

4.Take advantage of what people want! We alll know 1 thing kids want & Love, Is Candy!
This is what i used to do: Go to a Gas Station, Most gas stations have thinks like airheads & gum for 5 to 10 cents, Buy a couple of them, Then go sell them for 25 cents! If you sell 4, thats a dollar right there!

5.What i like to do, just to give myself confidence in my abillity to make money is when ever i get a dollar in quaters, I ask someone for a dollar bill. Because me personally i would rather have the paper then the metal, It makes me feel good!

6.You need somthing to store your money in while your on the go! But you want something you can slip in your pocket, Get a wallet, so that you are ready for any money that might come your way.
I have a normal black wallet nothing fancy.

7. Sometimes i find Currency from other countrys, I found 1 cent from Canada the other day, And 10 Cents from Barbados, I was thinking of just asking my dad to give me 1 Penny for the 1 Canadian penny, But i changed my mind & said ill keep it.
Its good to keep currency from other countrys!

8.Do anything you can to make a buck

9.Go to the dollar Store, or some place like it, and buy a money lip its picture here —-> http://www.linksoflondon.com/dynamic/esh…

If you cant find one not a problem

10. Buy changeHolders. They are little packets that hold money, i have 5 full packets of penies. They hold about 50 cents worth of penies, they ahve them for all pecies of change, they are cheap, about a dollar

11. Use these stratagys and save up, Be serius about your money, sometimes its neccesary to spend to make more money, If you want more tips hints and tricks just ask me at: entrykowens@yahoo.com

12. I just start latly, writing down in a jornal every cent i get, if some one give you a dime, write it down, if someone give you a dollar, write it down, just so you will know all the money thats coming in.
Write down expences two. This is the way i do it:

Income: April 7th-14th

Goal for this week: $11:00 Dollars

2 Cents

37 Cents

5 Cents

3 Cents

Expences: April 7th-14

First Class letter To My Uncle:

2.28

oh yea 1 more thing, heres 1 important 1, every dollar you get, Track it!, Go to: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/ sign up, then you will be able to enter in your dollars. Then you can know where ever they go, this is important to know!

And another thing:

Save cans! Get a trash can, and save cans in them, i saved 2 trash can fulls, and got maybe 7-10 bucks, that do not seem that good, but its money right, just go to Google.com, And type (What ever your city name) Recycleing plant
some only pay maybe 10 cents a can.
Dont think they pay for plastic

And sooner or later you are going to have to work, so just do what you have to do to make a dollar

Mandy asks…

whats a really fast way to loose weight?

I wanna loose wait or need to loose a little wait FAST. I have a wedding to go to in 1 and a half weeks.

Nagesh answers:

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to “gainbetterhealth” if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.

The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

George asks…

How to get money and save it for college?

I am in 7th grade and I want to save some money up for college and the college is alot of money, I don’t want student loans or anything and I might get a scholarship but not for sure and I am going into a high cost college and I also want a little money to spend on things. Help me, please.

Nagesh answers:

Well, apply for student loans, aid, scholarships and awards anyway. If you’re going to a costly school, you need every penny you can get your hand on, even if this means paying back a loan. If you get allowance and/or money for your birthday/holidays, save it. When you get to legal age, apply for a job. You won’t earn much money (only a couple of hundred every payday) by the time you apply (and if you get accepted) for school, but it’s better than nothing. Or you can do some odd jobs for friends and family, or babysit the neighbour kids.
I now you said you don’t want a loan by the time you finish school, but it really is the fastest way to get money for school. There’s a good chance you won’t get the money you need for however long you plan to go between now and when you graduate grade 12 (mainly because you have to be at least 14 to work in North America at least, and you only work for a few hours a couple of days, and the cost for school could go up by then as well). So a loan or aid may be your only choice, but try to save up as much as you can; the less you borrow, the less you pay back.

Joseph asks…

Whats the fastest and easiest way to raise money for your kids school.?

I am the PTA president for a catholic elemenatry school and we can’t seem to find exciting and easy new ways to raise money for the school. Any one have any great ideas.

Nagesh answers:

Well, theres a fast and easy way, and the way to make the most profit…

When I was younger, (in a Catholic school in Cleveland) my school would hold fund raising contests and the top two classes on the school would win small prizes. The turnout was often large. Teachers would also provide constant reminders about the fundraiser.

But…by far the most successful fundraiser my school had was when I was just leaving. My school (with about 800 kids) was given a fundraiser where everyone who participated received something, even if it was just a trinket. The school was skeptical as to weather it would be profitable or not. The kids ended up loving it! The school averaged over a $14 profit per student. They were shocked as to how well it worked. That’s about $11, 200 if my math serves me right. I’m not sure if they did it again, though.

I almost forgot…this was from selling raffle tickets and sports game tickets.
