- Why don't you get a job, specifically with special shops that fix, sell, etc. toy model cars? This way. . .you have money, get discount to buy anything in the shop. . .I think employers would hire responsible teenagers. . .it's all up to your performance and appearance. . .
- I'm probably not going to give you the best advice, since I live in th U.S.A., but I think stamp collecting is a reasonably inexpensive hobby to start out in.
- Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like. Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones. The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found.

Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure! It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have. OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU... http://www.spacefem.com/quizzes/hobby/
