how can I make money fast as a 13 year old?

I want to get a phone but my parents said that I would have to pay for it myself so I want to know if there's anything that I can do around town and around my neighborhood that I can do to earn a bit of money quickly.

Hi Maggie,

At 13, you can make money quickly and safely by helping people in your neighborhood. Try:

- Babysitting if you have experience with kids
- Pet sitting or dog walking
- Mowing lawns
- Pulling weeds or yard work
- Washing cars
- Helping with trash cans, watering plants, or small chores
- Tutoring younger students in subjects you know well

Tell neighbors, family friends, and relatives that you're looking for work. Word of mouth can help you find jobs fast.

Since you're saving for a phone, plan how much you need and track your earnings. Even small jobs add up quickly if you're consistent.

Stay safe: always let your parents know where you are and who you're working for.

Good luck! Working and saving for something you want is a great habit.

Thank you comment icon These are fantastic suggestions. I see many younger folks promote this type of activity successfully on the Next Door app. I would look into that and then speak with your parents about helping you set up a profile to promote your services to your neighborhood. Diana B

Jane’s Answer

Hi, Maggie, If I were in your position, I would make a simple plan.
First, find two or three ways to earn money locally, such as dog walking, babysitting, helping with yard work, or washing cars.
Second, set a savings goal based on the phone you want. For example, if the phone costs $300, figure out how much you need to earn each week.
Third, be patient. The phone will be worth a lot more to you because you worked for it.
The best part isn't actually getting the phone. It's proving to yourself that you can set a goal, work for it, and achieve it.
Thank you comment icon I appreciate your support, Jane maggie

Doha’s Answer

Before thinking about how to earn more money, think about how to spend less of the money you already have. Look for ways to save on other purchases and expenses... Over time, you may find that you have enough money for the phone without needing a job right away. You should also have a conversation with your parents and let them know that you're willing to reduce some of your regular expenses or extras in order to save for the phone. Showing that you're prepared to make sacrifices and manage your money responsibly can go a long way.

Heather’s Answer

Hi! If you're looking to save up for a phone, there are lots of ways you can earn money at 13. You could offer to do extra chores around the house, help neighbors with yard work, rake leaves, shovel snow, walk dogs, pet sit, babysit for younger children (if your parents and the child's parents are comfortable with it), wash cars, or help family members with organizing and cleaning projects. You can also save any birthday or holiday money you receive and set a goal for how much you need each week. The most important thing is to be patient, stay safe, and always make sure your parents know and approve of any jobs you take on. You'll be surprised how quickly the money adds up when you stick with it!

Jessica’s Answer

At 13, the fastest way to make money is usually by doing small jobs for people you already know and trust.

Some ideas:

Lawn mowing
Raking leaves
Shoveling snow (in winter)
Washing cars
Walking dogs (with your parents' permission)
Babysitting (if you're responsible and the family knows you)
Helping neighbors with yard work
Tutoring younger kids in subjects you're good at
Helping older neighbors carry groceries, clean garages, or organize things
