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?

    If you live on a block with houses and your family owns a lawnmower, get permission from your parents and go from door to door offering to mow their lawns.

    It’s shockingly tough to find someone who will mow a lawn, and you can probably clean up over a weekend, making enough to buy a 3d printer if you really want one. There are some models that are fairly inexpensive, a couple hundred dollars.

    For real though, just going door to door with something simple like lawnmowing would probably do you way better than you’d expect.
