Wife wrote Honestly the fastest and easiest way for a person your age to make money is literally take food and slick sale it to kids at your school. I did this with meat sticks and I was leaving school with 20 more dollars than I did going in. But be sneaky with it, most schools don't allow this.

Or, mow lawns. That will get you more money pretty easy, but is labor intensive.
I done kinda the same thing but instead with cigarettes (NO I DONT ADVISE IT) KI would get a freind to buy them and they would cost £2 (this was about 7 years ago) and i would sell them for 50p ( 10 x 50p = £5) i was making a killing until i got caught.

002 wrote Stop being lazy and get a head start. Get a job. I started working at 14, bought my truck outright at 15 for 5k, now I'm 17 and I have put another 11k into that truck and I have 5k in the bank. Imagine if I would have started working at your age.


Those numbers just don't add up to me.. How did you get 5k in year at 14?

And to answer the topic question is to ask around.
Ask parents, friends of family, neighbors.
Or even do stuff online like a self led small business.
I did that here on TTG for a while and was pulling in $250 on a good week.

Unless he got a workers permit at 14, which in my state you can't until your 15, it seems unrealistic.

I do under the table work, I work at 10/hr.

5k at 10/hr is 500 regular hours, which is only 62.5 days of work. I worked mainly weekends and summer.

Persue your passion.

Get passionate about something and do it to your best ability. You have to push yourself to be better at it than anybody else.

I guess you can say I started working at the age of 4. Not really working but I started playing hockey when I was 4 and fell in love with the game. I have a huge passion for the game and have played it at the highest possible competitive levels my entire life. Now I am playing in the CHL (Canadian Hockey League) and will hopefully get drafted to the NHL sometime in the next few years as a goaltender (Which is way harder than players). I am now at the point where I get paid quite a decent amount to play the sport that I love and I honestly couldn't be happier with life right now. I have been able to afford a brand new Range Rover and have been able to get a mortgage on an amazing house. If you have a passion for something, pursue it and you will eventually be successful if you push yourself hard enough and continue to push when the going gets though.

There were times where I thought of quitting hockey because of some bad experiences. There was this one coach I had when I played Junior Sens AAA that would make us skate suicides after every single practice for 20 minutes and everyone would be sick after, but we kept pushing through it and it turned us into better athletes. The door was open for me to quit and I wouldn't be where I am today, but I didn't.

Moral of the story is, when the going gets hard, push harder.
