How To Make Money!

Well I haven't seen a lot but I still wanna make this thread.

Get a Job - Talk to your parents about them letting you get a job and find yourself a ride. If its not too far ride your bike or walk there, maybe even a lift. Tell them all the postives you can think of getting a job such as paying for your own stuff and not having to bother them about it. Or being able to save some of your own money for collage or a car.

Do Some Work - Look around your house and do some chores that will earn you money. Such as mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, shoveling the driveway, garden work, watering plants, fixing things, cleaning, or dishwashing. Or if your parents won't pay you then look around your neighborhood and see if anyone around is too old to do work around their home and you will get paid. Or if someone doesnt have a lawn mower or its broken then you can cut their grass.

Sell Junk - Have a garage sale and put out everything you don't use or look at for more than 2 weeks. Go to your friends house and gather things he doesn't need or want and sell those too. Try selling things online like ebay or even here.

Company - Start your own company or something that you and/or a friend can do weekly to raise money. For example you can have a lemonade stand, car wash, repair shop, painting, roof fixing, etc etc. You can even make a website and advertise form there and people will buy your products. Or you can even invent something new....

Talents - You your talents to make good money. Like if your good at repairing paintball guns, computers, cars then do that. Or create websites and forums for people. Make electronics or build things if your good at that.

Grades - Make a deal with your parents like if you get all A's and B's that they pay you $20 for each good report card. Or for each test or quiz. I made a deal with my dad for a new cell phone, and it worked. Or you can talk to your other family members about it and they may pay you.

Steal - Well if you have no other choice then steal, but I really don't recommend it. Steal valuable things that you can sell or things you can use so you will have more leftover money.Just make sure you don't get caught, there are big penalties now a days.

Gamble - Gamble with your friends and make bets. Or play games and place high money bets, just make sure your good and cheat, just don't get caught. Practice with people that are good and develope some skill.

The keyword is find a weak spot from someone or anyone that will pay you. Find what they want to see in you, find out their hobbies and what they like to do. Maybe they like to build models and you have tools and can make things for them, then sell it to them.

i got off my ass and got a job, work at the local mexican fast food restaraunt for 7.50/hr, averaging 300 a paycheck, which frankly, isnt bad. so i am going to have nearly 1300 in the bank real soon and that can buy the dm3 i wanted, the conquest i need and the evo to feed it, and have enough for a day of play. think of that, after 2 months of work i am able to revamp my setup, and thats not including the selling of my gun i have right now.

Was talking to my next door neighboor who came out to check out my cocker when I was shooting trees. We got into a discussion about the sport, he was fascinated but tore his achilles recently so won't be picking up a marker anytime soon.

Anyway.. he said something that stayed with me:

"There's a little money at the top of everything."

Ok here's a good suggestion too if your parenst pay for your lunch money in school and you have some friends who dont eat alot:

Dont buy a lunch, or spend like a dollar and get some snacks then bum some food offfa the "non-ballers".

I get $3 a day (lunch is 2.50) I spend 1, that means in 1 school year I make an additional $360 (180 x 2) for doing absolutely nothing.

Then I also get $20 a week for mowing my lawn

The lunch thing really works, tons of people dont eat all their fries, or dont liek the pizza, whatever, or you can eat when you get home (we get home a t 2:15, cus we go to school earlier) so I can wait til then... It's easy $$$ and adds up.
