I'm 14 and I want to make money. but in my country (Lithuania) people can only work 16+ years old. I want to make money and I have tried everything from chores (which I didn't get money) to dropshipping, fiverr and stuff where I have made 0 euros. I like cooking, but for cooking you need products and for products you need money. I dont have those products in my country so I have to buy them from international sites where shipping is extremely expensive (Im talking 50$ for cacao bean shipment). I want some food proccesors like freeze dryer, but if you would look at the price, it costs almost 3k. I want to have a job or just somehow make money right now as a 14 year old. can someone please tell me how can I make money as a 14 year old?

ReplyI'm much older and we have several children. The age difference between the youngest and the oldest is nearly fifteen years.
For as long as I can remember, we've been using a system here we call "The Chore Calendar". In many ways, it replicates having an actual job.
Here's how it works. Each child has a printed calendar that gets updated once per month. On that, they are assigned chores that they should be able to complete based on their age. When the chores are done, we check them for accuracy and then mark them complete on the calendar. Each week, on Sundays, we have pay day where we total up and pay each child for the chores they have completed for the previous seven days.
Additionally, we have "Certificates" of three different colors - bronze, silver, and gold. Bronze certificates are awarded to each child when they do something helpful, or really good, outside of their normal chores. These activate immediately and can be used to skip, but still get paid for, a single chore of their choice. One silver certificate is awarded when all chores are completed for two straight weeks and we provide one silver certificate for each "A" on a report card. Silver certificates activate two weeks after issuance and can be redeemed at any time to skip, but still get paid for, a full day of chores. Gold certificates are awarded when someone completes all assigned chores for a complete month. These activate one month after issuance and can be redeemed to play a game of bingo in which one of five prizes can be won. One prize, for example, is a full week off with pay, one is a financial bonus, one is a day in town with either my wife or me and you receive $100 USD to blow, etc.
We're paying the children for their hard work and, in return, it takes some of the load off my wife and me. The certificates are redeemed for time off much like you would use vacation time (sometimes called PTO (paid time off) here in the US), holiday time, etc. And so, again, this is a close mimic of having a real job. I wish all children helping out around the house could get a little financial kickback of some sort for their efforts but I know this can't always be the case as everyone handles these situations differently.
My older children aren't quite old enough to gain work here legally either but they certainly are eager to do so as they are ready to start earning extra spending money for themselves.
I don't, unfortunately, have any advice on how a 14 year old could get a job for your area but I see that someone else noted that you could watch children. In our area, cutting grass and doing yard work is another task that people your age do for money from time to time.
And while I don't have good recommendations on you getting a job, it is exciting to see that you are so passionate about it. Too many people these days expect the world to be handed to them. It's clear to see that you're willing to put in the time and effort to earn these things for yourself. In my area, that's not so common for folks your age so, again, I commend you for that.
It sounds to me like you have an entrepreneur vibe about you and I'm wishing you the very best in your future endevors.
Good Luck!
ReplyThe system seems EXTREMELY good, but my parents wouldnt even pay 50$ for chores even if I would do them for a year. I will try to talk about it to my brother cause at least he gives mi money for doing chores (He lives right next to us (he's 25)), Really thanks for suggestion.
ReplyI ate a chocolate bar last night which was made in Lithuania. It was delicious. It was one of those ones which is kept in the fridge before eating.
