    Hello! I will teach you how to save and earn money as a kid or teen, because if you REALLY want to buy something, your parents say no, parents want you to contribute money in buying the object, or you just want money! This guide may be simple, but it's helpful, I'm very sure of that! So, take your time to read! Show kids or teens you know if they're trying to save money!

    Please favorite this if you find it helpful! Also, comment on something else I should type about!

    So, let's say you want to get an expensive item at Walmart. Say it's a 3ds XL, and you want a 30$ game to go with it. Now these here things will help you if you aren't homeschooled, and go to school. (Since school is starting, for me at least, I'm writing this to help.)

    Some things you can sell (with reason)-

    Gum- Gum is popular to kids and teens, or so I have read in other "How to earn money as a kid or teen". Buy a pack at the store. Any flavor is fine, but I'd probably get watermelon flavor, since it's my favorite. Start out with a dollar a piece. If you're not getting many pieces sold, kick it down a notch. Try 75 cents. If that doesn't work, go down to 50 cents. I consider 50 cents fair. I'd pay that amount for a stick of gum!

    Candy (Any candy at a store) - Not really something I'd try, though if you buy a candy bar, see if you can sell it for more than you bought it for!

    Mints- There are these mints that are kind of popular at my school. They are packaged in a clear wrapper, bought in a green bag. My mom has some of these, and often at my school, kids are rewarded with them! If you're rewarded with one, you can sell it for money! A dollar or less will be a fine price.

    School prizes- If you're rewarded with anything like mechanical pencils, regular pencils, erasers, pens, markers, paper, candy, etc., try selling it! Look at the item, and decide a fair price! If it's a mechanical pencil, don't try to sell it for 5 dollars! Chances are that nobody will want to buy it since it's too much money, and they could buy a pack of them at the store for that amount or less.

    Drawings- If you draw Anime, Manga, Chibi characters, realistic objects or people, cartoons, etc., then that's great! Use your talent to draw pictures for people! 5 dollars or less is the best price. Anything above might be too much, unless you're very talented.

    Stories- Try writing stories for people! Horror, romantic, humor, action, drama, etc., if they want you to write a certain type of story, then try your hardest! Depending on how long it is, you should base that off of how much you will earn. Try asking them how much they will pay.

Skill- Use your skills win! Say "Hey, do you want to (insert skill required challenge here) for (insert reasonable amount, like a dollar)? Whoever wins gets the (insert money amount) Contest ideas include... drawing, racing, sports like basketball or soccer, arm wrestling, fashion, and even more!

    Unwanted objects- Objects like books, binders, paper, yarn, sewing needles, string, fabric, action figures, small stuffed animals, etc., are things you can sell. Also, you can try selling marbles or small bouncy balls. Ask the person how much they are willing to pay for. If it's an action figure, see if they'll pay 10 or 20 dollars. They are expensive! Don't sell something for a low, unfair price! Think of how much people will be willing to pay for the item you want to sell.

    Those are things you can sell at school. I suggest not selling items you stole from teachers, other students, parents, or other adults or relatives. Imagine if someone stole something off you and sold it. How would you feel? Not happy, right? Just a tip, but don't bully other students for their money. If you get caught, you'll get in trouble! Also, bullying is bad! How would you feel if someone beat you up and stole you're money? Unhappy! Don't do bad things for money, especially inappropriate things!

    What do you do to earn money if you don't go to school, or your teacher or principle doesn't allow selling objects at school? Try doing these actions for a reasonable price from an adult!

    Raking leaves

    Shoveling snow

    Mowing grass

    These can be some money makers! Say you can't leave the house. You can sell stuff at school if that's okay. (Some items that can be sold for money are listed above.) Or, do chores for money! What do you do if your parents say "Since you're a member of this household, you are required to do chores. No money, you have to do these chores!"? Try getting good grades in school! Even if you're an A student, try to get an average of 100! Sounds impossible and stressing! It might be. But try! You could get money for doing very well in school!

    But if it's impossible to do ANY of that stuff... this will be hard if your parents refuse to buy you anything. Try paying some of the amount of the item with your parents help. If that doesn't work, maybe you have a rich relative? Ask them for money! If they refuse, then ask other people! Try, try, try! It's not impossible! I know you can do it!

    How to save money! This will be short, because it's easy! Just don't spend money, and if you're being bullied, don't bring money to school! Keep the money in a safe place, or with you so nobody steals it!

    I hope my information helped! Favorite this, watch me, give me points, give me a llama, do something! I didn't write this for no reason!

I'm really angry. Why? Because I need to submit stuff here on DeviantArt but it stays at one percent. When I draw it on dA muro it loads fine, but if I choose a file to upload, it always stays at one percent. I hate this, I have more things to upload. I drew this realistic picture of a fish, but since deviantart must hate me for no reason, I cant upload it. -.-

Any help? Please? I want to upload.
