@@RoXolid I usually offer to cut my whole neighborhood’s lawns. I charge $10 for a front yard cut, and $5 for backyard cut, and since I’m in Alabama and winter barely exists here, I can cut people’s yards year-round. Everyone is so nice and open to letting a 14 year old cut some yards that when I ask, most say yes, and very few say no. I have some “regular customers” that call me a week before they need their lawn cut. It’s pretty fun, and I get a great source of money for my hobbies. My parents wanted pay for the gas when I started, and they still do! So all of my money is just pure cash, no little side taxes like gas money. I do the whole door to door thing every once in a while, I usually pick months out of the year dedicated to just cutting lawns and doing the door to door asking thing. And Since I’m homeschooled, I can cut yards throughout the week easily, to have a “flow of money” I give everyone my phone number so they can call me to come back. My parents don’t make me pay for gas money, because I’m still considered a kid, and they think that unfair you’re too young to work a job. You need to be treated like you don’t work a job, I chose to do this lawn thing, so I get the money at my own will, whereas in the real world. You kinda have to get somewhat job to live a pleasant life.
