Help with money

[Westy55]

i need to save up roughly 350 dollars to buy i couple pairs of shoes that I want so far I have around 50 bucks that i just haven't spent yet. You might be thinking just get a job. However, I am only 13 and I can't legally work anywhere. I do have a job at an apple farm from august-november because my mom knows the owner but august is four months away. Any ideas on how to make money. Btw I live in Minnesota and it's not always warm.

You gotta learn how to do something that most people can't do. That is usually where the money is. When I was 13 I fixed phones and sold them on eBay. decently easy to make some money while at home. 

 

I was recently helping out older people with their computer questions. They paid me $30 an hour :D.

Fixing phones is literally super easy as long as you don't do micro soldering repairs at least. Simple screens, charging ports etc. 

 

You'll learn after a while about checking IMEIs and device histories....

That is all I've ever done in my younger days. 

 

I guess you could start a Youtube channel about something you are passionate about. I need to do this still.

I don't see any money but you must be really athletic

 

Does your local elementary school have a latchkey program? They usually hire students to look after small childern.

Don't buy shoes (or other things) you don't need, or you're trapped for life.

 

Sell people stuff they don't need and you're rich.

Dang this is harder than I thought. Do you have anything laying around that house that could be sold for $ on eBay?

It's the foundation of shitty financial management. What you do now with your first income is a hard pattern to break.
