Hi and im a young adult who is yet to get a job and would rather do something like a sidehustle. ive been wanting a 3d printer or a laptop for a bit now but both are really expensive nowadys how do you all afford them. like i want to print a bunch of board games things, dnd things, and figures but i cant afford a 3d printer i cant even addord a candybar without involving a family member and i would feel bad if i asked a family member to but one for me and i dont even think they hav ethe money too.
is there something i can do to save up for a 3d printer or something like that?
is this by chance the wrong place to ask this?
Get a lawn mower and if possible a weed-eater. You gotta quote by house based on lot size and amount of trees and decorations etc. to now around but for a small residential lot with few obstacles mowed and edged you can easily get $25 in a cheaper area. Put $5 back into fuel and maintenance and you got $20 profit for probably 30 minutes of work. 10 of those is $200 which can get a cheap computer, occasionally you can find good deals at pawn shops. 15 more lawns and you got $300 which gives you plenty of options for printers.
Keep doing it and eventually you can upgrade to a riding mower and do more, larger lawns. If you can get any commercial properties you can get more like $75-150 for an hour of work.
