Tips for making money? by PennyLess 17/08 11:43
Hi! I’m 14 and I want to buy a smartphone. There’s only one problem – it’s expensive! Has
anyone got any tips for making and saving money?

RE: Tips for making money? by Cinderella Fri 17/08 13:30

My parents sometimes pay me to do chores around the house. I wash the car or do the
ironing – whatever needs doing! It gives me a bit of extra pocket money!

Re: Tips for making money? by owen99 17/08 15:55

Why don’t you get a job in the school holidays? I’m going to work in a hotel so I’ll have
enough money to go on holiday in August. Maybe you could try babysitting?

RE: Tips for making money? by KittyB 18/08 10:14

Think about your skills. Maybe you’re good with children, so you could babysit for families
in your area. Or if you like animals, how about pet sitting while the owners are on holiday?
Put an advert in a shop window that says what you can do.

Re: Tips for making money? by smartAlec 20/08 21:21

I know a way to make money. Sort out all the things you don’t use any more (clothes, CDs or
toys) and put an advert for them on an online auction website. Other people really will want
to buy your old things! And it’s much better to recycle them than throw them away!

RE: Tips for making money? by TrendyGirl 20/08 13:45

Instead of earning money, why not try to spend less? Do what I do – buy your clothes at
markets and in second-hand shops. You can find some really nice things at great prices!

Re: Tips for making money? by PennyLess 21/08 14:07

Thanks for your advice. I’ve seen an advert for a babysitting job, so I’m going to apply! I’m
also going to visit the second-hand shops in my area to look for bargains.

The United Kingdom There are about 7,000 charity
shops in the UK!

A QUICK GUIDE TO SECOND-HAND SHOPPING

Even if you haven’t got lots of money to spend, you can still go shopping!
Read on to find out where to find the best bargains.
CHARITY SHOPS
Why do people in Britain like shopping in charity shops? First, because of
the low prices, and second, because when you buy something, the money
is used to help people in need. For example, Oxfam, which has shops all
over the UK, works to stop poverty in countries around the world. What
HOME

can you find in a charity shop? Used clothes, shoes, books, toys, DVDs
and kitchen equipment. It might take a while to find what you want, but
it’s fun looking!
CAR BOOT SALES
NEWS

What do British people do with their old or unwanted possessions? Take

them to a car boot sale! Every Saturday and Sunday, people all over
Britain fill the boot of their car with things they don’t want and take
them to one of these sales. Car boot sales attract hundreds of people,
so get there early for the best bargains. You never know what you might
GUIDES

find. Recently, someone bought an old picture frame at a car boot sale
for one pound and later found it was worth £500,000!
SWAP SHOPS
Do you want to get some new clothes without spending any money? The
answer is a swap shop! Swap shops are events where you and other
LINKS

people can exchange clothes that you don’t want. The clothes have to
be good quality and look new. You can then choose clothes of the same
value that other people have brought to the swap shop. Swap shops are
popular with fashionable people who have lots of nice clothes that they
never wear. Swapping clothes is also better for the environment than
buying new ones!
