How can I make money at age 14?
I'm
turning 14 not very long from now. Only about a week and a half. I want
to make money because my family is planning a trip to go someplace
outside the U.S. I really want to go to Brisbane, Australia, but the
thing is tickets for the plane ride there is about $1,250 per person. We
would have 5 people going, so yeah. About $6,000 for all, not including
hotels and otherthings. We are going to save up for going next March,
for atleast a week or two. Well back to the question... how can I make
money to save up for this trip? Is there a way I can use my good talents
(which are: singing, drawing, crafting, baking, etc.) to help make
money? My boyfriend works at a place and he gets about $120.00 a month,
and he only works Fridays, as a dishwasher. I can check that place out,
just there goes my Fridays (which doesn't matter really). I want to pay
for my ticket, yet have enough for spending (there are really cool shops
there, and I wanna get some clothing too) the least for spending money
would be $150. Please help, I'm stumped. :) 10 pts to best answer!!!
Oh, and... NO ONLINE SURVEYS!!!
(extra question: How can I go about singing for money or something?)

are always looking for good babysitters and house cleaners. Are you
good with either of those things? If you do that, you can keep your
cash low enough to avoid taxes. You can go to your neighbors' homes and
make those offers to babysit or clean their home or a portion of their
home. You can check out dog sitting and walking. Here's a website
about jobs for your age:

It'd be great if you can get on with Disney. Here's their website:
http://jobsearch.about.com/od/companyprofiles/p/disney.htm. You could
audition to sing for them.
Google Auditions in your area for more ideas. Maybe you could enter
contests to win money.
Good luck.

I'm assuming you live in a state where the
working age is 14. Check your state laws to be sure. You can get your
working papers for a work card through your guidance counselor at
school. Just some basic information (social security number, address,
physical from a doctor, etc.). If you're lucky, you can get a job at a
supermarket or a fast food restaurant. If you're lucky, that is.
