I am 18 and my work only pays me about $180 every 2 weeks. My mom usually wants $100 from me for rent so she can pay her bills, and I have a phone bill every month, so I really only make $50-100 a month. Its really hard for me to save money because I always have to waste my money on something. I suck at saving money, especially if my girlfriend wants something from me.
I am trying to save $300, so I can buy an ipad or an ipod touch, I can't decide what. And I also want to buy some beats headphones. All my headphones I buy break within a couple weeks, so I figured if I get wireless headphones or some quality headphones, than they won't break on me as often.
I need some advice on how to make money outside of work. And please don't tell me to baby sit, or mow lawns, this ain't the 1950s, that is not something I am going to do. Walk up to random peoples houses and ask to mow their lawn. That is retarded, plus not a lot of people have a lawn where I live. I live in the city. Maybe if this was the country. And I also don't know anybody with a any babys who need baby sitting, I am not good with kids, I have no clue how to take care of kids.
I would ask my mom for an allowance, but my mom is always poor, she is always behind on her bills and because I am working, my moms rent went way up because of housing and her social security, so my mom probably don't want me to work anymore, she'll probably be wanting me to go to school soon, so her rent will go back down.
Added (1). I need real ideas, not mow peoples lawns and baby sit, that is just retarded. I am having a yard sale soon, and I want to sell some stuff, but idk what to sell. I really don't have much of anything worth of value. I do have an iPhone 4S that don't have service because I didn't pay my bill, best buy will give me $30 in perfect condition, but my mom won't let me get rid of it for less than $100. Nobody wants an old phone for $100 that they can get for free
