its for adults i think but you could definately take some stuff from it
what i got from that is
go around to people you know/make fliers and mow ALOT OF LAWNS alot alot alot try and do like 5+ a day and if you charge maybe 20 a lawn you could be making 100+ a day
that bake sale thing sounds like it could really work
go out and buy a bunch of stuff bake it all and bring it to your parents work or something and sell at a profit $$$$$$$
garage sale could make you some money
sell random shit on ebay
ask your parents if you can do stuff around the house that will take off like maybe 10-20 dollars of your debt per thing you do that way the total number will decrease
definately try and get some babysitting jobs
you could definately rack up 1000 in a month if you really really tried honestly
ask around and see if people need help christmas shopping that couuld actually work, if theyre too busy see if theyll pay you some extra cash
basically what you should do is try and be making at least 100 a day
if i was you, this is what i'd do (ideally)
put out fliers and ask around to people you know, especially elderly, to mow lawns, i'd try and get maybe like 5-10 lawns, and do it maybe weekly. try and charge 20, maybe tell them what you need to do and they might help you out by paying more
that way from mowing lawns youre making 100-200 dollars a week
babysit: you could do it on weeknights and just do your homework while youre doing it, or do it on weekends, sure this might take away from your social life a little but itll be worth it in the end try and do this as much as possible
definately have a garage sale, maybe try having 2 by the end of december
SELL ALOT OF STUFF YOU DONT USE ON EBAY
do a bake sale kind of thing every week, try and make at least 50 from it
