If I were you, I would use the money you have save up to buy a laptop on craigslist, clean it and fix it and sell it for 40 dollars more. That is something I wouldst since I know how to fix computers.
Think of ways to flip that money and make small increases. Do not sell drugs. It is not worth 5 years probation/jail over an iPad mini.
Also, sell stuff you have or pawn it with your parents. Ask 10 dollars from each family member or 20 dollars.
Do odd jobs for money like Mow grass or clean someone's yard.
You Start doing small Part-Time jobs. And try to save as much as you can. Which will help you to increased the saving amount to want for your purchase...
There are so many Part-Time jobs which you can easily do without any problem such as:
1. Babysitting
2. Cleaning Neighbors Garden
3. Walk Dogs
4. Make Sandwiches & Sell them
There are not a lot of online opportunities for jobs. The jobs that are online are usually for people who are 18 and older. You could try Opinion Outpost. If available where you live, you could mow lawns or walk dogs for a little extra cash. Good luck!
Well you can do many things like:
Babysit someone for your neighbors
Walking your neighbors dog
Shoveling snow
Cleaning neighbors garden
Homsitting while your neighbors are away
Doing courses for your parents at low cost
Or(what I do).....you can do tuitions....being a tutor for a little one...or someone of less age than you can fetch some money as well.
Kudos!Best of Luck!
Shovel snow? Babysit?
Online things are a scam.
