How to make $300 in a month when a month to 13 years old?

[Robert G]

I want a 16GB iPhone 3G by next month. I know my parents won't go for it since I have the original 8GB iPhone, but I am running out of space. I dont get an allowance. Please just give me an answer and not something like you shouldn't get it. And I do get it for the $300 price since I own the original. And dont say something like your parents have to pay for the new rate plan because I found out how to get passed that.

My, but you're a bossy boy Robert.

You might get more replies if you ask a bit more politely!

I understand your predicament though. It's hard to make money at that age. About the only "official" job you can get is a paper route, which pays practically nothing. So you're going to have to find a way to make money "under the table."

Do you have the ability to babysit? When I was young I used to make a lot of money doing that, especially in the summer when people in my neighbourhood were looking for someone to take over while their regular daycare was on vacation.

Is there someone in your neighbourhood whose grass you could cut? Do that for the whole summer and you'd probably make $300.

If you're looking for an EASY way to make $300, well I don't know about that. But there are lots of ways to do it IF you're willing to work hard and be creative.

Good luck.
