Help!!!

[No Shelter]

I have an issue here. I absolutly need a new computer, for my games and for L4D. I have all these weird errors and freezes with source games and THERE IS NO FIX for them as of now. This really ticks me off! People have stated reformatting and reinstalling deleting everything has not helped it!

So what I need to know is, what are some good ways to get some money?

Some info here, I am 15, a freshmen. I live in a suburb of a city. I have found 3 places I could work at. A supermarket that my sister works at, but I have to cut my hair when its barely covering my ears. The owner stated that she wants us to look nice for the customer. Well I told her that what she said is all opinion, what she thinks is looking nice can be different from some people, I bet the customers dont care. They just want in and out most of the time.

2nd option. McDonalds. I have alreadly sent in an App. but they said they would call me. My friend who works there told me to just try again a couple of times then they will interview me. I haven't since.

3rd option. A custodian like job over the summer at my high school. I haven't checked the payment but it couldn't be that much.

So if you guys have some ideas for me to earn money.. or want to give me some lol. Just post here.

Thanks,

Have you tried selling stuff you no longer want/use on ebay?

Babysitting for neighbours/relatives can (depending on the kids!) be an easy source of money.

Offering to wash your neighbours cars, they'll usually throw you a few dollars for that.

Asking older neighbours/grandparents etc if they want their lawn cutting, or other odd jobs like painting fences, cleaning driveways, etc

Man , no need to cut your hair, and secondly left 4 dead only comes out in like june or july man, and thirdly enjoy not having a job so tell yourt rents to upgrade your shit.

and i comp to run l4d is cheap , 1 gig ram, a fucking athlon xp 1600 and that sucks, and a 6600 gt and youll piss on that game, and its like 500 bucks max if that man

My parents are making me buy my stuff now lol. But all my steam games have errors, well at least the source games. I will try some of your ideas teknobry, thanks.

If anyone else has suggestions keep 'em coming.

[Teknobry]

Just another thought, do you get money from your parents to buy food at school? If so, start saving that cash up and take a packed lunch instead (but don't let your 'rents know you're doing it, lol )

[No Shelter]

I would probably feel really guilty lol. But, what ever works.

[KashMunni]

hey dont feel guilty ur parents r just trying to help u out to get food or w/e saveup and get a job u should have the money soon and if there is a whole foods some place near by try a job there i hear they pay $10 an hour if u have any old games u dont want u can just sell'em im sure u can get some cash off of that and if u have any rare systems im sure u can totally find some costumers for that coos i have the original Super Sonic Game for Sega Genisis still nice and fresh ^.^ and some day when Sega and sonic finally die im sure that game can cost a lot...

Ways to make money!

1. Drive into town on a friday or saturday night fromm 11:00pm onwards pull up to people walking AWAY from the clubs and pubs and ask if they want a lift and ask if they can pay for it! (yes i have done this my self and i had 4 customers in 17 mins i earned 45 dollars from these shmoes that where to lazy to walk) so in otherwords hire your car out as a taxi, make sure you have a knife or something in your driver side pocket.

2. People hate yard work, offer to do it for them! Such as washing a car or mowing a lawn, its not really hard work after all it just "aww its a saturday and the last thing i want to do is mow the lawn in the sun on this fine morning" type of work.

3. Sell "Acquired" goods. Your 15 so all your friends are at about the right age that (legal or not) they want to get pissed every now and then like there dad/older brother does so find beer/spirits either at your own house or a bottle shop and then sell them by the bottle to your friends! (at the local bottleshop near my house there loading dock backs onto a state forrest, less reputable people [im not admiting to anything] have in the past crept in from the forrest and done a snatch and grab and disappeared back into the forrest with a carton of beer under each arm, so i know it works)

4. Make outragious bets that you KNOW u will win! "organize" certain events that can happen and take advantage of the "unlikelyhood" of the event to happen and make bets with people. (yes again i can confirm this works but the trick is to do lots of little bets rather then making a bet for a bazillion dollars, just 5 dolalrs here or 10 dollars here) Also you can "challenge" your friends by makeing them laugh at your expnence (for example "hey see that chick over there...if you give me 10 dollars ill go over there and ask her how much dick shes sucked to be driving a car like that" ) again this works but i feel like more and more of an asshole the more and more ive had to sell my pride and the feelings of the people around me for that one :( oh well im ritcher/drunker as a result.

In no way do i indicate any of these options are legal or a good idea its up to YOU what ya want to do these are just some ideas i may or may not have been involved in, but hey if you want a computer that badly you may just do it. Ever herd the phrase..."id kill for a....(insert some item of value)"

P.S. also according to some TV comercials im under the impression that a packet of "faber castel" colouring pencils is good enough to make some counterfeit 10 dollar notes that you can just launder for REAL money! go for it son.

no shelter...... dont listen to zaku :P

[Teknobry]

I'd ignore everything on Zaku's list except the 2nd one, lol.

[frogopus]

Har, I love how yard work fits so innocently in that list of ideas.

[No Shelter]

Zaku, I will stick, ONLY, to your 2nd idea lol.

[defth]

Sell some lemonade on the outside front lawn? say 25cents a pop!

[No Shelter]

I think it will be more like 100 per cup.

[dontleave]

Get a job?

[Teknobry]

He's 15 remember, i daresay it would be hard to get a job at that age (have to be 16 in the UK, unless its something like a paper round)

[Zaku001]

lol i know it all sounds pretty out there, but they are ways are they not? Na you should just get a good honest job somewhere your only 15 so save for the computer and if ya hate work (like i do) just quit once you have your comp :P

(note) they are just ways, although stupid ways to make money, he didnt specify what ways he wanted he just wanted ways to get money and there ya go lol
