My name is Nathan. I'm 14. I live in the woods and have no way to make money to save up for a car. I only have 1 neighbor. Anyone have any ideas?

Since you live in the woods, could you make something creative, crafty, or practical out of wood? You could then sell on Etsy, or Ebay or advertise and sell your products somehow. Can you tutor a student or do some childcare after school? How about doing some typing projects for others on your computer? Good luck. I applaud you for having a good goal to work for.
Skip the car, work hard in school and go to college or a trade school (welding, carpentry etc). In a few short years you will be able to buy a really nice car!
Both ideas might be cute, but I doubt this young man took the time to ask us a legitimate question so I am going to give him a legitimate answer.
While I don't know you, I admire your spunk. Most kids your age are satisfied to just lay back and ipod their way through high school.
You say you live in the woods. Are the smaller trees your family's property? Perhaps you could sell firewood for your community. Just a hint, giving a discount to seniors is a really nice thing to do and often gives you more customers. If you are close to town, perhaps you can wash dishes at a local restaurant after school, mow lawns, wash windows or deliver papers
Not knowing where you live, I can't speak much for how your community spends it's money, etc. I can say that there might be things you can do at home. You obviously have a computer or access to one. Keeping in mind you want to make sure you are doing things according to your local laws, you might start out small by editing essays, school papers or resumes. You are quite young, but old enough to do some on line things that are helpful and legal.
I hope you reach your goal. While this link is not so much for a way to copy his idea, it shows you what a "kid" can do when he puts his mind to it.
Good luck. You are already on your way.
