<div class="bbWrapper">Hello all,<br /> <br /> I&#039;m a 16-year-old from Europe. I just finished high school and I now have until August 2024 to make €5.000 (nearly the same as $5.000) or I have to go to college say my parents - college is free though I have to point it out, still costs a lot of time (3 years). I&#039;m wondering if you all guys have any tips or ideas for me. I&#039;m really new to this online money-making space so I&#039;d appreciate any ideas/advice. Thanks guys</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">$5k in a year should be extremely easy for you to accomplish. There are many existing threads on the forum that can help you. I&#039;m not sure about the exact laws of your country, but there should be no problem for you to own and operate almost any type of business. If you create an exclusively online business, your location doesn&#039;t really matter.<br /> <br /> If you share more about yourself or your location, people can provide more personalized recommendations based on that. Maybe tell us what your skills are or some industries that you are familiar with. If you want to have a business that serves people in your area then ask yourself questions about them. Are there many people with money to spend? What do they like to spend their money on?</div>

I live in a western European country called Denmark. We have loads of money to spend so that&#039;s not a problem. I know web development, and some stuff about marketing (Like Meta, Tiktok, and Google). My uncle has a Spanish company where I could operate an online business</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Get a bike and do food delivery with the most popular food delivery company in Denmark.<br /> <br /> You&#039;ll make 5k euros in no time, get solid exercise, and develop a strong work ethic as you won&#039;t have a boss above you (your earnings will depend on how much you work).<br /> <br /> This is way better than trying to hustle online when you have zero knowledge about it and are too young to set up a company. You can study online business in the meantime but you won&#039;t be looking for silly shortcuts (or fall for scams) just to make some money right away.<br /> <br /> How I wish such easy flexible jobs were available when I was younger... I&#039;d have probably saved solid five figures by the time I was 20.</div>

I just finished high school and I now have until August 2024 to make €5.000 (nearly the same as $5.000) or I have to go to college say my parents - college is free though I have to point it out, still costs a lot of time (3 years).

Just shoot him a note via the contact page. <br /> <br /> Don&#039;t hesitate to give me a shout if you need assistance. <br /> <br /> One quibble: College is <i>taxpayer-funded</i>, it isn&#039;t free. I&#039;ve lost track of the number of German&#039;s I&#039;ve had to correct on this point, as they are all trained to think this way as well. It&#039;s a bit insensitive to the young Germans who didn&#039;t do well enough in third and fourth grade to be selected to go to college but still have to pay exorbitant taxes on behalf of the students who did. Another way of looking at it is that I could have paid for two semesters at an elite private U.S. university for what the Germans confiscated from me in taxes in one year (never mind the other payroll taxes). <br /> <br /> In any case, good luck!</div>
