I asked my dad about pre-ordering Vendetta......and he exploded......to boil it down, he told me that as long as I was paying for vendetta, I'd not be able to buy anyother game, and since I dont have a job (being 12) I'd be able to play Vendetta for...oh...14 months.

Help. I need help. Please, any Ideas?

Freelance work pays enough for Vendetta. Mow lawns or something. 10 bucks a month isn't that hard to get. I do freelance computer work, and while I don't get jobs very often, it lets me afford FF XI and some anime.

Edit: I should mention that I'm a bit older than you, at 16. Still, even a 12 year old can do some basic freelancing stuff. You could... mow lawns, wash cars, etc. You'll probably be doing grunt work, but it'll pay.

Seriously... mow the lawn (or your neighbor's lawn for that matter) once a month, that's 10 bucks right there.

hmm...soon my dad may trust me to mow other lawns with his ride-on lawnmower.

Babysitting? Shoveling snow? raking leaves? Doing chores above and beyond the ones you already do.

ok, thanks to you guys, I went, and told my dad that I will pre-order it, and play till' I get tired (as if) or I run out of mohla. and, with my dad not paying me for chores (thats how us kids Eurn our keep) I think since we live in a old naberhood (lots of oldeys) mowing (and snow) will keep my money up. but my dad is going to charge gas, tear ect. (not sure if he is kidding) thank you Peeple I think I made it with the "well, with me being 13 next year in feb, I will be old'e'nuff to mow other lawns. and with the lawnmower getting leafs too.....and the fact that I will use the weedeater to clean up the lawns to make em' look nice, I think I can work this out :)

Thanks guys.

I can't imagine that a lawnmower uses all that much gas. Or, you could (gasp!) use a manual one... :P

Tyrdium, zamzx zik can't use a push mower if his parents don't own one, and I get the general idea that they don't.

I think your dad is kidding about the gas,tear... even if he weren't, you could still make a profit ;)

Have you tried slang'n rocks? You may not get cash right away, as some crack heads will want to pay you with TVs, VCRs, and the like. But these things can be sold for cash... ;)

Try this: Dedicate years of your life to a project dear to your heart. Balance your needs and wants. Survive almost every setback. Persevere, despite your own better, bitter judgment. Argue every point. Stand your ground, give ground. Listen carefully, and never ignore the parts that really are not what you wanted to hear.

Always be prepared to fail. Know that it will not be the last time.

or you could be a kid and mow lawns. take it easy kid.
