As I said in a (much) earlier thread, I'm 13 - just old enough to be legally allowed to be on the internet, and just young enough to still be legally disallowed to get a job. Last time my question was how to earn $1950 really quick. That problem has since been resolved on my end with the fix of my computer. This new question is much more serious. This problem is about earning $130 quickly enough to replenish my bank account to its former glory, seeing as I'm getting .5% interest (that's right, .5% interest), and, with my spending habits, staying out of bankruptcy. So here's my timeline on how I lost $130 in my bank account:
2010: Break SD card slot on Wii. Wait till 2012 to get frustrated with it. Abruptly become aware money orders can optionally come out of your bank account. Have repaired, -$75 in my bank account.
2012: Lose wallet, hidden wallet vanishes into thin air. (I have proven that it is nowhere in the house.) Wallet had $55 cash in it, hence buy new wallet with recently earned $15, -$55 in my bank account to refill my new wallet.
Yep. Two charges, one to Nintendo, and one to nature, caused me to be out $130 on my college fund. $130 may not seem like much, but believe me. Try giving yourself a 14-year ban from the workforce. Then you'll think $130 is a lot.
So I'm wondering where the heck I'm going to obtain $130 quick enough to replenish my bank account. As on the earlier thread, the following types of posts will not be accepted and instead reported:
Posts that say something like "You're a kid, go climb a tree." This includes anything that does not say that specifically but conveys the same message. I have seen that exact post before, it TICKED ME OFF. Don't try it on me.
Other posts that say earning $130 is impossible for a 13-year-old. I've managed it before. It just took me a while. (I paid $270 for a 3DS three days before they lowered the price. It was all my own hard work. Your argument is invalid.)
Posts that say I'm stupid for even trying. I've seen these before. I do not appreciate them.
Trolls, obviously.
Posts that are irrelevant to the topic.
Replies to other posts that are not mine. (Thank you FillyRarity for giving me the idea to put this rule in here. I am not happy with you.)
Posts that are less than five words.
Posts that tell me to do something illegal.
Posts complaining about the rules above.
As I said, posts that fit any category or any combination of the categories above will be reported. You have been warned.
I bet I can help you out - you can sell your very old stuff that you didn't use today.
There's a pile in my room of stuff we want to go. However, I am having a hard time negotiating my own yard sale, as my mom wants to donate it to the local church yard sale. (My church does a yard sale every year to raise funds and relies on people's donations.) If I can negotiate it, I will attempt to. But I want to earn this $130 before the end of 2012 (which is NOT 21 December, btw).
Friend, you can't simply make up rules and then report anybody who doesn't follow them. Mods don't follow your rules, they follow the forum rules. With that said:

Then... do it again? There is no easy way to make a ton of money in a short amount of time. You need to be more realistic.
There's plenty of ways to make money online. I've made over $10,000 online. Just look around, many people are YouTubing to earn extra money, but I don't condone becoming a YouTuber for the SOLE purpose of earning money, that's just wrong.
There are many ways: Sell away the times you don't need, do odd jobs, and try to save up on your money, don't waste it on crap.
Oh, and good luck on getting your $130 back.
Just one more thing: Rarity is a well respected member in the MCforums, and replies to other posts seems okay to me. People might be something invalid info and it's okay for someone else to reply so they can correct, agree, or talk about. I am the same age as you, and I'm talking in the nicest way possible to a stranger I don't know about.
You did not "destroy" $130 of your bank account. Second, why the heck were you taking money from a college fund, do you not have a savings account or something? College funds are meant to be untouched until you get to college, I'm surprised your parents didn't stop you from doing this.
You don't have to replenish that $130, you spent it on things you deemed necessary. Until anyone gets a job, they shouldn't really worry about replenishing their bank account.
I'll give you the same answer that I give everyone else; mow lawns and (metaphorically) ***** yourself out to your neighbors. Do they need a ditch dug or a retaining wall built? Ask them. Money doesn't just magically fly into your hands; you have to take the initiative and earn it.
What neighbors? Read what I told TS4L. I live on a 100 acre plot with NO NEIGHBORS. In other words, no neighbors to work for. The closest "neighbor" is a mile away from me.

I am under a parental ban from Youtube because of an incident that happened at the age of SEVEN. (I watched an anti-porn video that my parents interpreted as a video condoning porn. I'm still banned.)

I'm talking about a four-post conversation between Rarity and another guy on my thread. Rarity's replies to the other guy were ONE WORD. I can't have that. It's not a personal attack at Rarity, I'm saying he reminded me of that problem.
I've reported you to the MCF staff on IRC, you should be dealt with soon. Abusing the report system isn't allowed, you don't get to make your own rules on here. Act nice and follow MCF rules or GTFO of the forums.
I'm not going to report every single person. Just people who annoy me.

Only a mile away for a commute? On a bike, that sounds pretty decent. It depends how badly you want the money.
As for the old stuff you want to sell explain to your parents WHY you need to sell it yourself, rather than donate to the Church Yard Sale. Or, ask to have a yard sale for the day and donate what you don't sell to the Church Yard Sale.
If you want the money, how can you "not do this"? If you wanted the money badly, then that's your only choice. Don't think that someone will give you $130.

Thank you for decent answers.
I would be a mod entrepreneur if I knew Java. Unfortunately, I know NO Java whatsoever. At all. :/

Offtopic: I got Ninja'd.
Seriously, calm down. There was no way for me to know how long it took you to make the money, you never provided any info about that in your post.

We established I can't do this.
