How old were you when you made your first money? What did you do to make your first income? I was 13 years old when I made my first money. I made that money by writing a love letter to my friend. My friend was in love with a classmate and he wanted to impress the girl with a letter. I was good at writing, so, he paid money to write a letter.

When I was studying at high school, I was the private tutor of a primary student. I was about 14. During summer holidays, I also helped out in my uncle's grocery shop.

I started earning at the age of 16 years when I started taking home tuition. As teaching is my passion so I never took it as a job, I accepted whatever the students used to pay me.

I made some bucks writing love letters for classmates who were having amorous feelings for members of the opposite gender. I think I started making money around that age too or a little bit earlier.

If you are talking about earnings during my childhood years, I did earn by saving my allowances before. I earned them and buy novel books at that time. It is how I learned how to earn money at a young age.

I started selling newspapers when I was 14. My dad made an arrangement where I would be supplying several agencies with newspaper on a daily for a tip. I made some good money for my level then.

If you received allowances, I don't think that can be termed earnings. I think you mistook earning with income. If you receive money, for work, as a git, or even allowance, that is income. earnings means you work to make that amount.

Frankly speaking I started earning money when in was in the age of 12 years. I earned my first money doing the Hawking business of selling some cashew nuts at the bus stop.

I actually made my first money by conducting an extra teaching class for young students and earn lots while teaching them because I receive pay per pupil, then later stopped this when about resuming to college.

I made my first money when I was 18 years. At that time, I work in a particular company and I received my first salary . It was indeed a great experience because I used the money for something substantial.
