12 years old, and no idea how to make money. I need help. I already owe my parents money for a guitar and cellphone that i got, they helped me pay for it but i still gotta do my part. I need something better than the regular answers such as babysitting, lawn, lemonade stand, etc. please help me out.

First try earn some cash by doing some simple jobs ie washing cars.Or a good idea is to get involved with a small shop ie a pet shop and just help out, you will find that they are very willing to pay.Or if you are jst lazy do what u do and get that old stuff and sell it on ebay or to a freind.

I'm saving up for a labtop (the macbook pro) I have $1,000.00 and I need another hopefully before feb. 23 (they go on sale to $2,700.00 $300.00 less =])
I did house work and work around our neighboor already, anything else I can do?

Babysitting! i earn a lot of money from babysitting. hope that helps!

I have like $300.00, but I want to keep that in the bank while I make some fast money. I want like a lot of continuous money so that I can make more than I spend. But it can't take too long.

Get a job, work and then act like you don't work and put the check in the bank every week. If you do this the money will grow quickly. When you have enough then you can act like you work and spend. Too young to work, babysit, do chores for the elderly in the neighborhood, do housework for neighbors and yard work. Wash cars, do laundry, sell stuff at garage sale every week. Picl up bottles and cash them in. But really there is no sure fire way to make a lot of money and have a cash flow like you want without hard work. Good Luck,

My kids are have no money, and they are to young to have a job and I want them to have everything they want but I dont want to give them the money. ages 7-12
Any Ideas?~♥

Something that I find works well is a garage sale – they put out the stuff that they don't want anymore or grew out of and they get to keep the money to replace old stuff with new stuff.
And if you want to help with out directly giving them money you can offer and few old household items to get them started.
My daughter loves garage sale time because she knows she gets new stuff when its over!
