  1. Well without the silly stuff, you look around what is needed and not available in your neighborhood, and people have to bring it from outside or something which should be in your neighborhood but it isn’t. Then the next part is trying to get it on credit or convince somebody to lend you money or become partner (both involve convincing - selling). Then you market it and start making money. It is that simple and along the way you become entrepreneur.


  2. BE a gigaloo  kid get real unless you have a work permit u can't work so be happy with cutting grass or the baby siting kid

  3. First....you need to know your strong points and what you are good at doing.  I already see you have drive.  You need to enjoy the work you are going to do because you will be doing it for the rest of your life.  

    Sales is usually the only thing you can do at thirteen.  I used to sell ma-creme plant holders.  I even made glass tables that hung from the ceiling.  Hard work will get you places.  Make jewelry or something crafty.  Even a potholder loom to make potholders.  Learn something that will help you get to where you want to be in your future.  Do well in school and make college a must.

    Open an IRA mutual fund and deposit some babysitting money into it on a regular basis and it will grow by the time you are old enough to take it out.  About $500,000.00 or more by the time you are 60 years old  Make good decisions and you will go far thinking as you do at your age.  


  4. Aha I have the same dilemma, I live in NYC (my dad is the president for a big company so I have to live with him there. DX), and I'm the same age so I know what you mean. You could do fun things like making greeting cards for people, but I don't know if guys like that. You could make CD's (if you play an instrument) and sell them. Ask your mom/dad if they'll pay you for getting an A or something (my parents are asian so A's are expected, but I've heard of my american friends getting paid for good grades.)

    That's all I can really think of. There's not much you can do living in areas like ours.

    Sorry, I've never had to earn money before, so my ideas aren't that great.
