I need to make about $300 by December. I have a bunch of friends' birthdays plus christmas gifts to buy and I'm estimating about $300 or more in expenses. I would gladly get a job if I didn't have school and babysit my younger sibling monday-saturday. I can't get out of the babysitting job and obviously not school either. What are some ways I can earn money quickly without any scams?

Well you don't really have to buy gifts.
For christmas gifts, something you make will be more cherished than something you buy.
As for raising money, you could ask your parents to borrow some. They will understand if it is something that is important to u
Hoped it helped
Oh and I go to school but I still make about $10 a week for helping my parents. I'm sure you can do it too. Or you can also sell stuff on e-bay lol, people will buy anything there. Have them bid for an old book or something that you don't want

Hi, dinohh12!

I agree, that making something for a gift can be much more meaningful to the person receiving the gift.

If you really need money, then how about approaching some neighbors or other relatives and seeing if there is anything that you could do for them?

Thanks!

I agree that you don't need to buy gifts. I have to question why anyone must buy $300 worth of gifts. (You're on your way to learning how to go into debt over Christmas.) When you have the money to spend, buying thing for people you care about can be very nice. But money and gifts aren't everything. Can you find something else worthy besides spending money on them? (Making stuff is one option.)
