Since you're only 11, there's not really anything I can think of that's legal [img]tongue.gif[/img] umm... mowing lawns, washing cars, paper route or how about do what I did and trade in some old games that you don't play anymore? [img]smile.gif[/img]

What about going down to the closest street corner and...wait a minute your only 11! Forget I said that. How about working out a load agreement with your parents? They loan you the money at a modest interest rate at which you agree to pay back within a certain time frame. Tell you what, come on over to my place, I've got a tonne of dog s**t in the back yard that needs to be cleaned up. My daughters 10 and I offered her 40, but she said no way! Seriously talk to your parents and see if they'll go for the loan idea. It's a great way to learn the value of money and responsibility. I'm sure if you sit down with them and carry out an adult conversation they'll go for it. I would.

Nope $40Cdn, so about $25US. Perhaps you should see my dog first, before you agree!

Well I am going to give you one tip it isn't really breaking the law I think but here is what I used to do before I got a job. I would steal change from my parents everyday take a dollar while they were sleeping they will never notice. And I would get what I wanted.

It works just don't get caught and don't tell them I told you to do it if you do get caught. I am saving up for that game too. I am going to get it next week I will have enough money for it. Or I could start my method up agian and get it quicker.

LoL, You're speaking to the guy that earnt $10nz($5us) an hour cleaning hotel rooms [img]tongue.gif[/img] - the vacuum cleaning and dishes I could handle, but removing old men and lady pubes from the shower trap was the most disgusting thing I'd ever done in my life :D
The job lasted about a week before I quit ;) What type dog u got? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nah dude. I did this when I was a young 'un and you'll always get caught no matter how good you think you are. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but they will find out :(

Very nice! Someguy, I wouldn't take this advice if I were you. As a parent i know exactly how much money I have, so if it goes missing....the least of your worries will be NWN
