Right so I really need a laptop (art, schoolwork, music etc) and I need around £400. At the moment I only have something like £60 as I don't get pocket money. So I really need to gfet some money and I need some suggestions. Paper round is out because my brother has tried it and it was horrendous (like, 10 streets or something crazy like that), Im only getting money for my birthday (september :$) and I should be able to reap in about £100, but if it goes on like this it will take about 3 or 4 years. :/
I play the guitar and I thought I could busk to get money (playing in the street) but that would be a last option. Im thinking of trying to sell some art but I'm not good at all so that probably won't work well. So what do you think I should do?

The only thing I can think of is wait until you're old enough to get a job.

You could possibly be a busboy at a restaurant or something. You don't have to be very old to do that.. I think

Your only option is to get a job, it's not impossible for someone under 16 to find work just not very easy.

If that fails go the paper route, doesn't mean **** if it's hard work..most jobs are, most do underpay, it's apart of life. If you want it that much you'll grit your teeth and get on with it.

You could try selling things on ebay that you don't want. Or you could go to garage sales and buy things there and resell them. A friend of mine made enough money to buy a $2000 Imac, so you should be able to make 400 euros by then.

Ive learned fishing supplies are good to sell from him.

RL Merchanting? And, Veggie, if where he lives is like the US he can't be a busboy at 14. Try to look for a job at a family owned business preferably a small one looking for some extra help.

Hm, I actually suggested this go in Tech Talk and now I know why it's here. XD *dumb*

Uhm, well, you might try honestly asking your parents if you could do hard work for them for money. That or, as everyone suggested, find a place that will hire you at your age.

Anyway, I totaly agree with you creepy thats what I want to do, but the town I live in really does not have that many jobs. But I'm going to try and find one anyway.

you could always try to find a 'odd job' to do for a while...like sheet rock/painting homes/cutting grass etc etc.
a job your not going to be stuck with for a while...and can make some fast cash. good luck.
