Okay, calm down!

A few questions:

When are you travelling to Disney?

How many are travelling with you?

How many days to you plan on being there?

Have you tried Ebay? I've heard many have Ebayed their way to Disney.

Would you consider driving to save on airfare?

What type of restaurants are you looking to dine at? Counterservice or sit down?

Answer those questions and then I'll see what I can do for you.

Hi Meg!
Judging from your profile and other posts, you're 14 and going to WDW with your cousin in November. Earning $$$ can be rough at your age. People don't take you seriously and no one wants to hire someone that young.

My daughter is close to you in age and she babysits alot for extra cash. You can also tutor other students in a subject that you're good at. Try having a yard sale with your outgrown clothes and anything else that your family might want to get rid of. Do some light cleaning for a neighbor. Offer to run errands for an elderly neighbor. Cut lawns, rake leaves, shovel snow...yeah, girls can do that stuff too.

I really admire you for trying to cover your expenses yourself. It shows a lot of responsibility. Good luck.

Also, if you've got some clothes that you've outgrown that are still in good repair, you might ask your folks if you could consign them. Basically, you clean and iron them and take them to a consignment store and they give you some of the money they get from selling the clothes. Likewise, there are children's consignment shops that sometimes take toays and such in addition to clothes.

If you want to do the yardsale thing, but don't have enough to do one yourself, you might ask your friends and neighbors to see if anyone you know is planning one for the future. Then you could take your stuff to their yardsale.

You might also consider something you could sell at school. When I was in high school, there was a guy that made a tidy profit selling t-shirts one year to the kids in the Advanced Placement classes. On the front they said "AP Hell" and on the back "No Sleep, No Pain, No Problem". He got price quotes from the local t-shirt shops ahead of time & had one sample printed up, marked up the price $4-5 per shirt, and took orders. He wrote receipts for each order, used the money from the orders to purchase the shirts and delivered the shirts. They weren't more than $15, so were affordable for most students. I think he ended up selling around 200 shirts, so made about $1000 in six or seven weeks. It was a lot of work, though. And you'd want to get approval from your school before you put much money or time into something like this.

Best of Luck,

EthansMom

I don't know if anybody in your house does ebay or not, but my 16 year old daughter has been doing it for over a year to make extra money. The items she had up this week brought in well over $100 (and it was just stuff that she had outgrown, or we never wore anymore).

I go over all of her listings BEFORE she posts them to check for any accidental errors. The account is in my name, because she's under 18. She pays all of the listing fees. In her case, the profits go to help cover her horse show expenses (hotels, gas, meals, show clothes, etc.) which can get pretty expensive.

She's done very well. You'll be surprised at how much you can make just clearing out the closets in your house.

Good luck!

Maybe you can do certain chores every week for a set amount of allowance. Aso check the rewards board here, I believe there is a couple of programs there for kids. It won't be quick, but you can definetly make a few bucks before your trip.
