I am Fourteen years of age and got my first ever laptop in 2011. I have used the laptop everyday excessively since the day that I got it. I really want a Gaming PC and have no clue how to save up for one. I have been saving up since the really late 2013 and have exactly £247.50. I get my money by doing jobs around the house and then get paid monthly. Where I live nowhere offers jobs to fourteen year olds and all the places that do are voluntary jobs. My income is so slow and I just need some form of idea on how to earn some money. My parents say that I can only get a Gaming Computer If I earn the money myself. I have considered and thought about Ebay for a long time but I don't really know what exactly to sell. Any ideas?

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

go ask people if you would like their lawn to be cut/taken care off. Its honestly good that your parents are making you pay for it. I was given a I5+mobo. I had to earn the rest, and no my parents never give me money. not even holidays. 

 

 

Bought my own car, and soon own insurance. I do it by mowing lawns and working at mcdonalds. I recently quit because I do lawncare currently. I get paid 20$ a week per house. and do everything, leaves, mow, snow. 100$ a week is not bad at all for what I do. its a little rough in the winter when it may be every day care ,but I more then make up with it with just mowing in the summer.

Sounds like you are doing well for yourself. I will go and ask around the neighbourhood to those that don't hire a gardener, and i'll see where it goes from there

does the UK have any YMCA's? Here they pay ~half a workers wages for three months back to an employer for hiring young workers. If you have youth employment programs like that, its a good place to start.

Simple .... METH ! 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

This might sound wierd, but try scrapping old stuff. Look up some videos on youtube on how to scrap stuff.

 

I earned most of my money from my birthday and the rest I earned by mowing lawns over the summer.
