Ideas For Teenagers To Make Money

Guest Blogger — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:25:03 +0000

Money is tight everywhere, which means that you might not be able to give your teenagers the money that they need for gas and entertainment. With that said, there are plenty of ways for your teenager to make money, some obvious, some not so obvious. Here are five ways to consider when it comes to making money as a teenager:

Start a Neighborhood Lawn Mowing Business

The “teenage lawn mowing business” has been around as long as the suburbs have existed. With that said, if your teenager is looking for a way to make spending money, mowing neighbors lawns is a great thing to consider. The reason for this is simple: most people don’t have the money to spend on expensive lawn mowing services.

If they aren’t willing to spend their weekends doing it themselves, they might be happy to have your teenager do it for them for $10-$20. Heck, if your teenager does three lawns a day during the summertime they could make upwards of $300 a week, which is more than enough for their gas and entertainment budget.

Become a Waiter or a Busboy for Extra Cash

A lot of adults don’t like being a waiter or a busboy at local fast-food style restaurants because, well, the pay isn’t too great. With that said, a $7 per hour rate is typically right up the alley of teenagers who are looking for some extra spending money. Even if it’s only for a couple nights a week, they’ll get the money they need to be self reliant.

Get a Filing Job

Not everyone is going to hire a teenager to do their filing. With that said, though, there are some small companies who will hire teenagers to come in and do basic filing a couple of days. For $10 an hour business owners are happy to get rid of the busy work and pay your son or daughter to do it. An extra bonus is that your teen may get training into a job they may consider doing later in life.

Walk Dogs & Get Paid

A lot of people out there have to leave their dogs indoors all day while they are out at work. Because these owners don’t want their dogs stewing inside ripping up their belongings, they will hire trustworthy teens to take their dogs out on a walk. Your teenager can start with neighbors and hope that word gets around so that more dog owners take notice.

Recycle For Profit

Recycling is an easy way for your teenagers to make money, though it might not be the most glamorous way. Have them set up a system with neighbors where once a week they go around to each one of them and pick up their recycled materials. Once they have collected enough to warrant a trip, take them to the recycling center to have them trade it in. It may not make them a lot of money at first, but once they start getting into it, extra money will be easily made.

If I put all of my student loan debt on a credit card, could I cancel this out by declaring bankruptcy?

migueljuan asked:

I currently owe $45,000 in student loans and I am having a hard time paying them off. The loans are private (sallie mae) and I am not elligible for consolidating them via federal loans since I am not a US citizen. I was not able to get a visa so I had to leave the US. I live in Europe now.

I understand that declaring bankruptcy would not cancel out the student loans, but I have read that bankruptcy could cancel out credit card debt. I have a good credit score (790), so given some time, with an even higher credit score, I may be able to transfer my loans to a few credit cards.

What are the laws regarding credit card debt and bankruptcy? What difference does it make that I am not a US citizen and do not live in the US?

A Mortgage Broker Could Help You Find a Better Mortgage

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:40:00 +0000

Finding the best loan offer will give you the best rates and better terms on the mortgage. Mortgage brokers are a third party that matches borrowers with lenders for a commission. Mortgage brokers typically have contacts with a variety of different types of mortgage lenders and can often find loan offers tailored to your financial situation that you might not find on your own. If you are a borrower with special needs, such as a homeowner with poor credit, a mortgage broker could be your only option for securing a competitive mortgage loan.

Mortgage brokers come in two flavors. There are traditional brokers regulated by RESPA legislation, and Broker-Banks that are not subject to disclosure laws under the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act. It is difficult to distinguish a mortgage broker from a broker bank. Broker-Banks are a particularly evil variety of mortgage lender that does not have to disclose any of the fees they overcharge you for you home loan. Mortgage brokers operate the same scams; however, they are required to disclose under RESPA. Here’s how their scams work.

antheia asked:

I took out a $17,000 student loan last year because I have failed to qualify for any financial aid. Again, this year, I was turned down again, but I didn’t factor that $17,000 in anywhere.
