£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). |

Make sure you keep the boat well so they get the money back when they sell it again!

How about buying a old Laser 4K, sailing it for a while and selling it off to your dad..........ah, you appear to have done that one already ! - (I hope you made a profit - lol)
