What are some really good ways for kids to make money?
I’m saving my money for a car, because I want a decent one when I get my license. I’m twelve years old. I’m already doing yard work for my neighbors and doing chores around the house. I’m asking for money for my birthday and Christmas. Please don’t suggest online surveys or lemonade stands. I really appreciate your help!
power to you for starting early. give it to your parents to save or youll spend it when you get older. as far as job ideas goes i was going to suggest yard work. you could make some cool flyers on microsoft word and put them on mailboxes advertising your available help for yard work in your neighborhood. me and a few friends did that with our lawn mowing business before we were 16 and got lots of business. you could also try a yard sale and get rid of some old toys and stuff you dont need anymore or get your parents to help you put it on craigslist.

Caddying, paper route, buy candy in bulk then retail it at school in between classes, keep putting the money you make into something that can help it grow, like a savings account or a CD.

Don’t sell your old toys. You have no idea what you’ll wish you had when you’re 30 or 40. It certainly won’t be that piece of crap car you had when you were 16.
Great you’re starting early. 12 is tough. At 14 I started refereeing soccer. I don’t recall if there were rules against me doing it earlier if I just didn’t. 20 years ago I could make $8 a game for the lowest level. The games were just under an hour long. When you get better and older you can do older kids. Depending on where you live, by the time you’re 16 you could end up doing games for $15-$20 a piece. It’s great money for running around on the soccer field all day.
If soccer isn’t your sport you could check out baseball, basketball, or whatever you like in your area.
