Too young for a “real” job but desperate for some spending money? Read on for 10 ways you can start rollin’ in the dough.  

Be a mother’s helper
If you’re not old enough to babysit on your own but you’re great with kids, consider offering your services when parents are still at home. Whether Mom is cleaning the house, paying bills, running a quick errand, making dinner, working at home or simply needs a little quiet time, you can keep her tot entertained and out of trouble.

Get crafty
Lots of girls have started selling things they make locally at craft fairs or online through sites like Facebook and Etsy. Talk to your parents about setting yourself up with your own craft business.

Walk dogs
Taking dogs for a stroll takes time…time that a lot of dog owners don’t have. Offer to come around and take Fido for some exercise. You can take him around the block, to a local park for some playtime or for a jog to get your blood pumping. You might even land a pet-sitting gig, which is totally sweet for animal lovers.

Grow a green thumb
‘Tis the season for gardens to be in bloom, but they don’t get gorgeous overnight, ya know. Go around your neighborhood offering services like weeding, seed planting, pruning, watering and raking.

Tutor
If you love school, this is the gig for you. Smarty pants tweens and teens can help younger students understand difficult concepts. If you love books, you could teach kids how to read. If you’re a math whiz, maybe giving geometry lessons could help ya pad your piggybank.

Keep house
For adults with huge houses and little downtime, scrubbing the kitchen isn’t the ideal weekend activity. Even if you’re not up to doing the whole job by yourself, you could vacuum, sweep, dust, mop and clean windows, right?

Deliver newspapers
Night owls might wanna nix this job opp., but taking on a paper route is a classic job for young adults. You’ll get your exercise and your work over with early in the morning, leaving plenty of time for hanging with friends. Fab, right?

Make some munchies
Bake sales at local festivals, lemonade stands, concessions as local sports games and practices—everybody likes good food, right? No matter where you set up shop, make sure to clear it with whoever’s in charge of the event you plan to be working at, then target your audience wisely. Sweets for fairs, healthy nibbles for athletes.

Use your computer skills
A lot of older adults don’t know how to use technology that comes easily to you. If you’ve aced the iPhone, offer to teach someone else how to use it. If you have a blog or a website, go around to local businesses or entrepreneurs and help them get theirs off the ground. Are you a Photoshop master? Add photo retouching to your repertoire.

Go sporty
Lots of youth leagues and recreational teams need referees, ticket sellers, concession venders and other folks to keep their games running. Many of them hire kids to help out. Give the head honcho a call to see what’s available in your area.

Tell me, babes: What are you doing to make some moolah?

MOD MOD MOD ok so I have a friend that has a lot of siblings and her family is having a rough time($ wise) and I gave her some clothes that dont fit anymore and I want to do more so I've been saving up some money and I'm planning on buying on a lot of clothes for her and her little siblings at Goodwill or something like that. But I go to the movies a lot with my friends and I always buy something for myself! How do I save enough money to get her and her family what they need?!?!?! HELP PLEASE!!

 

 

Hey chickadee! Maybe, you could cut back on your time going out. And then put that money that you would have used aside for your friend. Or, you could take her out with you and pay for her, to take her mind off of things Smile

Okay im sorry to write two questions in a row but i'm just wondering about ear piercing. I don't know if I should get my ears pierced or not. Does it hurt? Are they a pain to take care of? And if I get them done near the beginning of April, will I be able to swim by the end of June? Thanks for your help.




Hey girlie,

It's a quick process so you don't feel much pain.  Pain can occur if your ears get infected, so talk to the person who pierces your ears about how to keep them clean.  You should be able to swim pretty soon, but I would check with him/her to see what's best for your situation! Good luck!

Okay, so tomorrow I am going to play laser tag with the girls on my soccer team. I'm jst wondering what I should wear. Do you have an idea? White clothes will glow brightly in the light so I'm not sure what to wear. Please help.




Hey girlie,

The best tip is to dress all in black so you won't glow! Have fun!
