So, to continue on from my last post, I'm in a bit of problem!
How on earth can a 13 year old girl earn or win $25,000? Most contests out there only let you win around $3,000 and the chance of even winning is like 1 in a million!
Well, I've just spent all day on Yahoo! Answers trying to get some ideas of websites where I can earn money. So far, I've asked the same question on there 5 times today and keep getting the same lousy answers:
'Mow Lawns' - I'm an Aussie. My neighbours spend half their lives mowing their lawns, so there's no use in me trying that.
'Babysit' - I live somewhat close to the city and being home alone with kids near where I live isn't the smartest idea at my age.
'Lemondade Stand' - Did they get this idea from a cartoon show? My street is quiet as anything!
'Try survey sites' - The people who said this didn't even leave a link to a site and half of them out there aren't even legit.
'Sell on Ebay' - Are they kidding? $25,000 from selling on Ebay? I'd be lucky to make $500 on there!
So basically, I have NO plans on how I can get the 25k and I've worked out I only have 4 months till my deadline. OH MY GOSH!
Well, at least I can say, I'll soon have reached my $1,000 mark! My sister is thrilled about my Disneyland trip idea, so she's generously donated all her money from her wallet to the trip.
Here's my money chart:
My Money= $488.15
My sister's Money = $305
TOTAL= $793.15
Goal: $25,000
We Need= $24,206.85
YIKES! That's still alot of money =O
However, both my sister and I recieve weekly pocket money (not much though) so hopefully soon we'll reach our $1,000. At least we've got a start on the money! My Sister and I also each have $1,000 in the bank, but that's being saved for the future.
IF ANYONE HAS A SITE THEY'VE USED TO EARN MONEY ON, PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS BLOG WITH THE LINK. ALSO IF ANYONE HAS IDEAS ON HOW I CAN EARN THE MONEY, FEEL FREE TO COMMENT IT!
THANKS EVERYONE =]

It's Money Time!

The Plan
In 1952, Walt Disney had a dream.
Well, now it's 2007, and it's MY turn to have a dream!
Basically, I'm a 13 year old girl living in Australia who's come up with this incredibly big dream that is "supposed" to take place in July 2008!
Here's the deal.
One of my closest friends (who's actually 10 months younger than me) is turning 13 in April 2008. She's NEVER been overseas in her life (I know lots of people haven't) but she's the kind of girl who deserves to go on a fantastic holiday overseas. She's one of the kindest and most friendly people I know (and I know alot of people!). She's incredibly fun to be around, and I feel that she deserves this holiday more than anyone else I know of.
So, I pretty much went on like 4 holidays in 2007 alone! I went to Victoria in Australia, Los Angeles, Phuket in Thailand and South Korea.
You have NO IDEA how awful I felt when she asked me about these holidays. Since she's never been overseas, it makes me feel sick having to tell her about the fantastic places i've been and the things I've done.
So, in October 2007, I decided that in 2008 I was going to take my family and her family to Los Angeles for 11 days.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT COSTS?
Well, I do now! Gosh, I'm an even bigger dreamer than Walt was!
WHERE am I supposed to get $25,000??
That's when Project Disneyland started.
I told my sister and my Mum about my impossibly dream. My sister was all for it, but my Mum was like "Honey, you're 13. You can't even drive yet and you're expecting to get $25,000 for this trip?"
I nagged her about for about a week and she kept telling me I was silly to think I'd ever succeed with this dream.
I AM A MAJOR DISNEYLAND LOVER. So I am DETERMINED to make it happen.
I'll keep you all updated on how it's going soon. I've almost reached my $1,000 mark, and I'll post about how much money I have so far in the next blog.
Till Then,
Happy Disney-ing!
