14 Year Old Trying To Raise Money

[LuluPower]

I'm 14, in high school and my favorite band is playing in my home town for their homecoming show in Ireland and It's my DREAM to see them live there, and the plane ticket round trip costs $1233.40. I need to raise the money by September. I put out notices for car washing, dog walking, babysitting, gardening, tutoring etc. on Fridays and weekends. Is there any more suggestions anyone could give me on how to save? This this really really important and any advice would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible! Thank you! x

At fourteen your parents are intending to allow you to fly across the Pond on your own to a foreign country to go to a concert ? If they intend accompanying you maybe they'll help you raise the money ?

The timing of your post (2.28am, Britih Summer Time) and the price of an air ticket to Ireland strongly suggest that you're in the USA. This website is based in the UK, so what's possible for teenagers to do here might be very different to where you live. (There are loads of rules about young people, of school age, being employed here).

However (other than what you've already suggested) British teenagers would probably be seeking part-time work (within the strict restrictions which apply) delivering newspapers, sweeping-up in hairdressing salons, helping out in convenience stores or on market stalls but some less obvious money-making routes might also be available. (When I was 14, I made some money from writing sports reports for a local newspaper, for example).

Perhaps you might get more suggestions by posting on a US-based website, such as one of these?
