What do you guys do for money?

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'm 14 and live in England. I always want to improve my setup and PC but

have no source of income to supply this!

I'm just wondering if you guys have any ideas what I can do (that's reasonable, not dog walking lets be real) for money.

I'm up for most things so spam me with help if you so wish!
 

All the best!

Step 1. Beg for 200 dollars.

Step 2. Buy a 200 dollar gift card.

Step 3. Learn programming with your laptop/computer

Step 4. put ads up on google addpsace and say if you need a coder come to you

Step 5. Take on peoples coding desires

Step 6. Filthy rich.

I currently work retail at a local tech store. Well, I did. I was given a promotion not long ago to department manager, which is nice. Also came with a, more than hefty raise :3

 

Besides that I've done graphical work (despite what i've shown here on the forum, I do actually make quite professional works) and for a time I ran a series of game servers under Keltek Gaming, now defunct because college takes up a lot more of my time than I want it too. there was a point where me and my group were making like 300$ a mo/ ea from donators, after we paid off for server rental space... those where the days :3

My ass pays the bills. Actually, when I was your age I mostly did chores and small things for neighbors, like mowing lawns, gardening, PC repair, etc.. When I was older I got real jobs.

What's wrong with waliing dogs? Its a job and it makes money.

Other than that you can mowe lawns for people and do other ad. hoc. jobs.

 

Personally, I work as an intern at a law firm and I have my own business doing networking for business.

Replace macbook with quadcopter parts and that pretty much sums up my predicament.

When I was your age I was working at a Ghost Town teaching people how to pan for gold. I got paid $5 an hour under the table. When I wasn't working there I was making money anyway I could. Walking dogs, cleaning yards, shoveling horse poop, clearing out junk, helping fix computers. Basically when you're at an age where you can't really get a job yet because places won't hire you that young, if you want to make money, you need to be willing to do whatever it is people are paying. Ask friends, family, neighbors and just about anyone if they need something done. You'll make some cash here and there but you save it and it adds up. Do this now and you'll develop a good work ethic. That will do you a lot of good when you get older. No one likes a lazy worker.

 

Good Luck!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Any small jobs, like what's been mentioned here already: mow lawns, do chores, be a cleaner... All that kind of stuff, since at that age it's near impossible to get an actual job or even a part-time job, unless you have some really good connections. You could also sell some stuff you have what you don't need (also make sure the stuff you sell are actually your own; family might not be too happy about selling for example your bed).

 

 

 

As for what I do... Nothing. My main source of income is studying grants, and apart from that there's only collecting returnable bottles and cans to the store, which only yields maybe 5€ per plastic bag if lucky, but the people here have gotten so clean lately, that there's no bottles nor cans littered anywhere anymore.

I'm still in high school (but apparently that excuse is invalid, according to majority of people here on LTT...). There's no jobs even for over 18 year-olds in this miserable little village I live, can't afford to move and even if I could afford to, I can't do that for 2 years from now (so I'll be 20 until I can finally haul *ss to some city). Also I don't get anything from doing aforementioned small jobs like lawn mowing; too poor family to give pocket money for such things... Sometimes the cards life hands to you are just so bad there's no way you can't play them right, yet folding is not an option.  #PovertyLifeBestLife (not)

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.
