GeekyXtra

Hi I am in need of a new gaming pc and want to spend about 1500$ on a new system but haven't got that kind of money! :unsure: So do anybody know a easy way to earn that kind of money in about a month? I really need help! THANKS  :) I am 16 and very little time to work!  :blink: Tooo much schoool I HAVE PAYPAL!

seriously though, just get a job and start saving, that's how most of us do it. There's no real way to make 'fast' money.

Get a job, obviously.

If that's drugs dealing or working at McDonalds is up to you.

Well, If you can get a part time job. Depends though at what age you can start and what country you're from.

As shitty and cliche this advice is, your best bet is to get a part-time job. The way I paid for my first gaming PC was by working a seasonal job on the weekends for a couple years. Was I completely exhausted by the time I got to school on Monday? Hell yeah, but replacing my dinosaur of a prebuilt was a big enough priority that I didn't mind feeling like I was just hit by a bus.

You are 16 with very little time to put into the work needed to get that kind of money. Good luck. 

 

You can't work a real job, can't donate plasma either, can't legally set up paypal or similar services to middle man sale. 

 

maybe sell some stuff on craigslist, get a shovel for snow if its winter in your country

 

 

I'm sorry but easy money isn't a thing for the vast majority of people. You have to put some effort into the process.

Kill your parents, inherit the house, and sell it.

I look forward to your homeless McDonald's build log.

But seriously, get a job.

A lot of people will say "get a job, its easier and legal." i would agree. But, you could also sell off some of your less important possessions. (ps2's, old laptops, wiis, etc.) that is how i eventually got enough to afford my PC build. Another slightly riskier way to get the money fast is to get a job, then get a bank loan. But i only recommend getting a loan from banks.

At 16 all I wanted to do is hang out with my friends, ride my mountain bike, play football (soccer), and play Goldeneye on my N64. You've got loads of time to buy a high-end PC; don't stress yourself out now by trying to find any way to make money.

 

Regardless of that, I hope you manage to get what you want but be careful you don't waste some awesome years of your like fretting about money for a PC.

Do your chores, never be late for school, get good grades and make your parents proud.

Maybe they will reward you. (emphasis on "maybe")

Investing or trading on the stock market is 99% of the time the best alternative to betting and gambling with money, the 1% being when you have the ability to cheat without being caught... highly inadvisable however.

The issue is needing capital in order to start. I would get started but monthly payments are a bitch.

True however if he had money to gamble with I'd say he'd most likely be able to conjure enough for investing.

These posts are somewhat vague. I hate to be this person, but I'd like it to be so you specifically explain what the people in this community are doing wrong. It might not apply 100% to this specific post, however it would benefit the forum greatly if you did this in the future.

$1500*12=$18,000. I'd be worried for somebody if they weren't making that full time.

When I was a college student, I was working in the fast food industry. All my co-workers who were there full time were middle aged. This theme kept going on as I hopped from restaurant to restaurant. Way too many people live paycheck to paycheck, it's pretty sad.

 

However, most of the people I met during that time were married, so it's safe to assume that their spouse made at least that much as well.
