Steal a car then sell it? One that could be a winner for someone your age is get lots of orders for 'novelty' ID's (ie: for buying booze) from people at your school, then order in bulk off the internet, and make a £2-3 cut from each and you'll make a bit there. ------------- |

£1500!! f**k that! I owe my parents around £350, and I thought that was a lot! At 14 there is NOTHING you can do to earn anything more really. When I bought my guitar amp I had a sh*tty Saturday job and just had to wait for my money to build up. Just sit tight for a few years, it's going to take that long with a paper round. How did you get that much in debt? I'm guessing they bought your boat for you? I'm giving half my earnings to my parents to pay them off, then keeping the other half for going out, buying stuff etc. Best bet is to do that, mind you at 14 you wont be spending to much on going out. Maybe a few quid to get an ice cream on a Saturday  . lol.Most places will exploit you and not take you seriously at all at 14. Plus you don't have an NI card, so it will be difficult to get another job. Do some stuff for your parents, clean the car once a week, cut the grass etc for a few quid. Every little helps! (to quote Tesco). ------------- Ross If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

Sell your passport. Maybe sell your parents' passports as well. Identities are worth quite a bit and if you can supply other bits and pieces with it, bills for proof of address etc, you can easily make a couple of grand. Easy like a sunday morning. |

you're 14 so you've go time on your hands and you like sailing, get
down your local sailing club and rescue one/some of the boats rotting
in the "fees not paid, going to be burnt pile". We did up
an Ent we got like this when I was 14, cost us nothing, we sanded it,
varnished it (about £15 at the time for the varnish and sandpaper),
wire wooled and painted the trailer (about another £15) and phoned
round the sailors at the club to blag decent enough sails and a boom -
sold the lot for £300 profit if you get ambitous at this point then use the profit to buy another, then another and soon you'll have a really decent boat that's cost you very little and enabled you to do something pretty cool - putting old disused boats back into action  ... even easier these days as you can use class assoc message boards to hunt for second hand bits and sell on what you've acheived... or ebay ------------- Feeling sorry for vegans since it became the latest fad to claim you are one |

The other diversification is to buy condoms in boxes split them and sell them off for a decent mark up, plus you can congratulate yourself on maybe preventing some teenage pregnancies by the kids too embarrassed to go and get their own. ------------- Finn GBR 657 - Blown It Laser 164635 Planet Earth: 30% Land, 70% race course! |

Ha ha!, What about a wager with your dad in every race you both do? In separate boats of course! With a side bet on winning over the water. Is little bruv paying his way by crewing for Bob occasionally then? Lol! Steve |
