You may need something desperately (like an MP3 player or an iPod Nano) and your allowance may not cover it or you want to give a present to your Mom for Mother’s Day that overshoots the margin by several zillions. Well, do nor despair. Help is on the way; just follow one of the tips listed below and you will soon be rolling in it.

A few tips
- Collect all small coins that you find in the house. You will be surprised at the amount that you find just lying about. Take it to the bank or a grocery store and exchange it for paper money.
- Don’t throw bottles and beer or soft drink cans in the garbage. Instead take them to a grocery store and collect some cash in exchange for feeding them into a machine.
- Help to clean a neighbor’s car when it is snowed under or even their driveway of snow. It is generally a very tedious and boring job and they sure will appreciate your help and will willingly pay you.
- Charge money every time an adult swears in your presence. Let them give you a certain percentage of money that they have in their pocket or handbag and you will be surprised at the way most adults pay up happily.
- Hope for a loose tooth and announce loudly to everyone in the house that you are expecting the tooth fairy to visit you soon.

Do’s
- Do well at school and demand a hike in allowance when the grades come in. You could alternatively price each ‘A’ you get and hope for the best.
- Put up lemonade stall in your neighborhood (this works best if you are below 12) and you soon will be reeling it in.

Don’ts
- Don’t think of pinching money from your Father’s pocket book (it was only five dollars), you couldn’t think of a worst way to get extra cash.
- Don’t sell household stuff, however small or insignificant the item might be.
