Learning to Hustle

[Satanus0]

start mowing lawns if you want a tiny $120, jeeze you gon be in some trouble when youre paying $500+ a month for rent, then utilities, then groceries....meh, im just saying there are a lot of safer ways to make money than sellin drugs

thats probably the best idea for you man. you find like 5 different lawns and you get like $5 - $20 per lawn maybe more depending on the person and size of lawn...cause some people can be cheap assholes.

Seriously just get a job and get paid the honest way. Being under 16 is no excuse, I've worked every summer since I was 14. Plenty of places will hire you under the table to clean up and shit. Or you could just cut lawns and whatnot. Making $60 shouldn't be hard at all especially if you have like 2 weeks. In fact it's kinda sad that you have to ask this kind of stuff in a forum.

Bein under 14 actually can be an excuse, depending on where you live. It was impossible for me to find a job at 14. You live in North Carolina bro, I'm sure the population isn't concentrated like, for example, the Bay area. Think about it, if you ran a business, why would you hire a 14 year old with no work experience when there's twelve 16 year olds and three 17 year olds, all with more competent work resumes, applying for the same position? Yall are givin this kid advice he didn't ask for. He asked for advice from those who have been down the same road, tips on what to do, not attempts to change his mind. To the kid who said "I know you wanna look 'ghetto' in front of the 'posse'", I aint even going to waste my time rebutting such an immature comment. Bro, if you wanna start hustlin, and you really think your ready for it, the only advice I can keep is keep your name on the D/L, pack heat, and don't do any deals that even seem the slightest bit dangerous. Most importantly do NOT express fear under ANY circumstances. Even if your shittin yourself in your mind, your countenance has to be calm and collected or dangerous people will take advantage of that. You can't be afraid to defend yourself no matter what, even if it comes down to killing the other person. When worst comes to worst, it's you or them. Know what you are doing, make connections, get a circle of regular customers, and get yourself started. Like others said, it's a stupid road to go down, and one you shouldn't unless you really have to, but I aint gonna ride your ass about it; it's your funeral.

You're telling a 14 year old to pack heat here man. He's obviously not prepared for what he's getting himself into. If he has a place to live and parents feeding him there is no reason he should be hustling on the streets, thats just stupid. It's insulting to people who have to resort to it to survive, it's not a hobby he should pick up for fun. Your post seems to say you agree with me on that point which is why I think he should just get a job. And I don't live out in the middle of nowhere but in a decent sized city.

Gambling at SCAM is just totally stupid. Sure there are people that get lucky, but thats just what it is. Luck. I'm not superstitious really so I would rather call it 'random cards being drawn and the house usually wins.'

Go ahead and take a chance to either get some cash or lose what you have, I'd expect that last one though. If you want to start pimpin' hos that would be a lot better of a way to get money. I'm not even close to a pimp but theres not much to it. A pimp is a man who uses women, like they're some sort of asset. Something wrong happens in your business, you just assault the bitch and everythings OK.

Hey as long as you gamble correctly it can be done. I have a friend who's made $400 american on internet poker in like 3 weeks.
