Trying to make some money... any suggestions?
I just had a leopard gecko die of a disease two nights ago:(. And I want to get another pet, but I haven't had much luck with reptiles(they either end up sick, killing each other, or crawling out of the tanks and dying when I am away), so I want to get a hamster, instead. I have taken care of a friends hamster for about a month while he was visiting a family member in south Korea, and I thought that I wanted a hamster of my own. My Grandparents(with whom I live[I'm 15]) told me I had to raise the money myself. I need to raise about $35- $40 to get the stuff I need(that I don't already have), and I have tried working for my neighborhood(mowing lawns, raking, etc.), Walking dogs, and sitting, but nothing has worked for me. I was thinking on selling my guppies, but found it wouldn't do a lot of good. I haven't tried selling anything and I am not gonna be able to get a real job right now(again, grandparents rules). Any suggestions? Thanks! PS: sorry if its too long, I had a sudden burst of need to tell people a long story about this. thanks!

Your best bet is to find chores to do for your parents and neighbors. Maybe you could wash cars, mow lawns, trim hedges, or weed. You could bake cookies and try to sell them to your neighbors. You could look through your stuff and sell off the things you don't want any more. But do not join or sign up for any of the online scams that you will get from this forum. They are scams, for sure.

Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people's mailboxes, and grocery stores. Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer. Culver's minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit. I called many stores because I am looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long. Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring. What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at. Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants.
