I've been scrounging around, but the most I can come up with at a time is like 5 or 6$, and then the urge for pizza hits. Anyone know a good way of earning money that takes a relatively quick time? I tried doing TrialPay to get OG free, but of course, a purchase of one of the offers is necessary. Not that I would mind much, only that I don't have a credit card, and my brother refuses to let me borrow his for any purpose other then directly paying for the game. (More or less, he'll buy it for me if I exchange 30$ IRL to cover the costs)

So; how do you guys make money without a job? It's irritating the hell out of me.

My parents have actually made me get a real job. I babysit on the weekends, as well as mowing my neighbors lawns. I get around $50 a week though. I searching peoples pockets before their clothes go into the washing machine as well. It's amazing how much money can be made that way.

I don't know why, but I always have money. No idea how I actually get it though.

A good friend will bail you out of jail and lecture you about how you messed up. A great friend will be sitting right next to you laughing about it saying "damn, we really screwed up!"

Find some rich, old bastard who likes to travel a lot that has animals and a garden. SSHHWANGG!
One guy payed me $120 to house care his place for a week and a half. I came for 1 hour a day.

shadow: I'm 13, legal age minimum to get a job where I live is 14, sooo... yeah. So much for the job thing =P I doubt in the economic state America has shat itself to that I'd even be able to get a job. Also, no one I know is really in a state to give out money to people to do trivial things like mow a lawn or babysit. They've stopped being lazy bastards. Which is bad for me.

I have no idea where you live, so this is probably gonna sound stupid: do you have a market or something where you could play a musical instrument at? I've gotten $25 for just several hours of playing random bad music that uneducated people think is good and waste their money on me. Little do they know their money is going to a small independent game company in the bay area

Hah, I don't think I would be willing to do that. My city isn't very population dense; over a million people living in it, stretched out over like four counties. I know of smaller countries. Freaking Jacksonville... anyways, even if I did do that like downtown, there would be too many people trying to steal the money I earn.

Wow. Well, look through papers for coupons and sell them to people no, jk. How about just stealing sorry, kidding again. Hmm, I dunno, but if I think of something, I will tell you.

I actually had an idea for a scam, going around door-to-door collecting money for like a 'charity'. I'd be like, "If we can get just one dollar from everyone in America, we'd be able to donate 300,000,000$ to the charity." Anybody who offers checks, I would have to have them address it to the actual company. And then I would keep most of the money. Maybe. <_<

Hey, good idea. My suggestion is that you actually pick the name of some charity or at least a cause. Like preventing the extinction of Green Turtles or something else. That would be hilarious if you got like $500,

Wait wait wait... Jacksonville? like the about 1 and a half - 2 hours away from
Charlotte North Carlina?....

well, i like to work for my local farmers market, i don't get payed every time. and when i do its only 5- 8$... but its very very fun. its more rewarding then it sounds.

so basically i have no idea ether.

No, no, not the Jacksonville in North Carolina, this Jacksonville.

Fun fact; I typed in "Jacksonville" into iGoogle, and Jacksonville, FL, came up with about 4.2 million results, while Jacksonville, NC came up with 1.7 million. Yay for city popularity?

Steal it. Carefully.

That's what I did when I was your age.

I'm going to assume school is not in session for you at this moment, too bad, if it was you could always do the old "buy stuff in stores that they don't have in schools and sell it in the schools" thing, I knew someone who managed to buy a new guitar doing that at a school of 200 kids. course what you choose is entirely up to you, could be gum, could be soda, energy drinks whatever, I guess none of this matters since I'm assuming school's out. Another way is go around and volunteer to mow or rake people's lawns. I used to get paid something like 20 dollars an hour to come in once a week and do this person's lawn. you could also always have a yard or garage sale, or go around to those buy stuff that looks interesting and try to sell it on e-bay or Craigslist.

well, you can teach something, sell things you don´t need anymore...or do crazy things for money like...eating a whole tabasco chili for 10 bucks or jumping from the roof.
