With regard to the bills, I would try a computer program such as Quicken.  You need to make a list and prioritize projects until you get caught up.  You might try hiring an administrative assistant to help you with answering phones, paying the bills, filing, etc.  You could probably hire a college student for a few bucks an hour.

Call the circulation department of your local paper. Don't overlook community papers either- like those that only publish once a week.\n\nI just realized you said a "summer" job. Paper routes are not summer jobs. They are regular jobs. Some papers won't hire kids because they want adults who can drive and take bigger routes- and be held to contracts. Still, give it a shot.\n\nSince you are 14, you are limited. An adult can get a route anywhere. You need one near your home. You'll need to find out if they will bring the papers to your home, or if you need to go get them.\n\nI have had routes both as a teen and as an adult. It is decent money- you won't get rich, but you can make a honest living and learn a great deal about responsibility. \n\nIn many ways, it is like a small business. You "buy" the papers from the newspaper, then sell them at a profit. You don't pay for them up front, and many subscribers pay the paper directly...but I think you understand what I am saying.\n\nYour product is also SERVICE. if someone wants their paper in a certain place, that is where you put it. Every day . No matter what.\nIf you are lucky, they will remember this and tip you well.\n\nSome warnings....if this is a morning paper, you are responsible to deliver those papers on time- usually 6am EVERY DAY. That means if the presses break, or the papers get to you late for any reason, you need to deliver them before school.\n\nAfternoon papers are great....you can deliver them right after school. If you are delivering on foot or bike, the route wouldn't be huge.\n\nRemember- this would be YOUR job. You shouldn't ask your parents to drive you around. The only exception is late paper delivery or pouring rain. Then you should pay them for their gas and time.

Since you won't be able to get a real job, do odd jobs for other people. For exmaple, you could babysit or mow lawns if you live in suberbia. But if you live in a city like me, you're way better off working illegally at a store where your friends already work at, doing jobs lke sweeping or something, and they'd pay you themsleves. Or, if you're really pathetic (also like me) grab a guitar, head to the nearest bus/train station and play your heart out.

You have to work to get wages. Nobody will give you money for nothing.Mow lawns-wash cars-walk pets-babysit-paint fences-clean houses-housesit-run errands.

Get out of the house over the summer. Get a part time job at an ice cream shop or restaurant so you can meet more people. Sure it can be hard sometimes, but you'll have money to go out and have fun.

This is a great idea!! Way to go fella!! It is so nice to read of young men (and women) who are enterprising in how to obtain money. I say go for it. \n\nHowever, it may be difficult to find a handy spot to do this in. You will need a spot on a major road where you can get noticed. You will need to approach the property owners of various differant sites which look promising. Don't allow a few no's to get you down. Keep looking and asking untill you get a yes. Don't be afraid of a little rejection. Those who perservere will get ahead much faster and better than those who give up in the face of advercity. \n\nAlso consider the price you will charge. Realize that you may wind up getting paid less than the national minimum wage per hour of work you do. This is due to the fact many people have access to the automated car wash services out there which provides a full wash and vacumn for around $10.00. So, consider offering a lower price in order to attract customers. It needs to be made worthwhile for somebody to chose your service over another. While there are those who will use your service in order to provide teens with the experiance of being in business and learning how to earn money, others will not and in order to get those you will need to provide incentive for them to use your service instead of the one they currently use. \n\nI think this is an exellent way for both of you to make money and learn a lot about the business world. You could even put this on a resume' later in life! Prospective employers like to see inititive in their employees. By showing you started a business which was successfull or even not so successfull you are showing true inititive and spunk!! You are demonstrating even more than that, but it would take too long for me to write it all here. However, you are demonstating an "out of the box" thinking, critical thinking, perserverance, willingness to work hard, a solid work ethic, understanding life does not provide hand outs, and a willingness to go after what you want in a positive and creative way. Plus many other positive things as well. This is all I should really write here.\n\nI am just really thrilled to read of teens who are williing to be creative and take inititive in finding ways of abtaining needed finances, other than just asking parents or doing crime to gain income. Good for the both of you and please do not give up!!\n\nI would wish you luck, but with the attitude you have you really don't need it as you will create your own luck by being so willing to work hard and find ways to acheive your goals.

I would sign up with a local temp agency. Especially around the holidays, they need people on a very short term basis to wrap gifts, help at events, etc. I'm in college to and ended up doing a couple of jobs (Santa's helper, got to dress as an elf, and gift wrapper) for just a day or two and pocket some really quick money.\n\nI've added some temp agencies in your area to look into. You generally perform an small interview, they test your office skills, and within an hour or two are all signed up and ready to recieve assignments. The last link looks like it'd work apply best to you

Ive been in the same situation myself recently, \n\nIm out of debt now, but its about hoarding as much cash as possible to get yourself a start. \n\nTry part time jobs, Car boot sales, overtime... anything you can... Eat cheaply, Go out less, try catalogue sales work in the evenings.\n\nYou will get there in the end!!

Hello Liana\n\n\nHere is what you can do.\n\n1) Check state laws to see how where you live governs where,when,how and what you can work at.\n\n1) Use the 5 w's and the H.\nWho\nWhat\nWhere\nWhen\nWhy\nHow.\nTo answer what you want to do.\nook\n2) When you have decided on what - look at doing a CBA\nCost Benenfit Analysis - does it make sense to do what you are going to do? Can you reach your goal? \n\n3) Once you have answered "YES!" then do a SWOT analysis -\nStrenghts, Weaknesses,Opportunities and Threats. \nFor example for grass cutting a threat would be either a drought or a flood - both affect the rate at which grass grows and if you need to work.\n\nOnce you have done the academic study - can take as little as a day to do this ~ see if you can get a grant from the government for small businesses / summer businesses for youth. See if the idea can grow with oyu throught the school year - not just summer break.  How cool would it be if you could provide employment for fellow students?  Of courses that raises a whole host of issues but it can be fun and has been done in the past - look at the founders of GOGGLE - all students at Stamford. \n\nYou are asking for seed money - money that will provide the seed for the business - a lawn mower / cell phone/PDA for a grass cutting business, a cell phone / PDA for a pet walking business.  You get the idea.\n\nAlso remember to:\n\n1) PAY YOURSELF FIRST.  Take your first paycheque and bank 20% of it and every pay cheque for the rest of your life as savings.  Retirement savings will be there for you so will college money and you will learn to live within your means. NEVER TOUCH this money unless of dire emergency - not it is a fashion emergency - but losing job emergency, got to have surgery emergency.\n\n2) NEVER - EVER - EVER loan money to family / friends.  If they need a loan, say over $100 set terms, negotiate a payment plan and be prepared to pursue the money.  Chances are once they find out your terms they will not be willing to borrow the money because they know they will never be able to pay it back. Do not be taken advantage of, you are not a door mat.\n\n3) Enjoy yourself. Going into work for yourself can be fun and exciting.

Thats a lot of money to raise in a short time...Try chores for family, friends and neighbours, a part time job (depending on you age of course) or running errands (only for people you know!)...;

So you need money but you have standards, is that what you are saying? \n\nwhat about temping, being a waiter for a week?  It's kind of a lot of money to make in 4 days.  \n\nSometimes www.craigslist.org has strange one time jobs posted on their employment boards in the "etc" section.

Let's see...I work full-time and I still have no money.  I have no money in my savings...  So there is no way I could survive without my job, unless someone wanted to pay my bills for me.  Any offers?  :)

Try volunteering yourself part-time somewhere. Yes, it would suck not getting paid, but you'd gain experience and garner a good reference.

i also live in metro detroit and have been looking for a couple of months. the job market sucks here right now. i went on an interview the other day and it seems promising. i got the interview through working on a temp project at my husband's place of employment. a lot of other people on the project worked with a temp agency. that's an idea. you can work off and on and make some money while testing out companies. plus, if they are looking for permanent employees, they will consider you and you have an advantage having worked for them temporarily before.
