I need advice

[Kvas]

I have a chance to go to Europe this summer closer to home. I live in Canada and this place is driving me insane. I need to come up with 2 thousand dollars in the next month and a half. Does anyone have anything to suggest?

I mean... if you're just looking for a quick buck, you could always sell drugs. Seriously, though, DON'T sell drugs! I say that tongue-in-cheek only because your first post (outside of your very short introduction post) to this gold mine forum reveals a lot. How can anyone provide insight without more info? What is your background, experiences, and situation? Have you read any of the books by @MJ DeMarco?

I'm around midway through unscripted . I don't have much background I'm finishing highschool. I'm a body builder though I thought of making custom fitness plans for "new year resolutioners".

Get a job, or find a simple service you can sell locally. Dog walking, window washing, cleaning cars, yard work, fixing computers, etc.

Knock on doors, contact friends of friends. You're young -- Tell them the money is for your educational trip to Europe.

It's not enough time to pick a skill and start charging for it (unless you already have skills but you didn't mention them). You're in one of the richest countries on the globe, I agree - just get a job.

Alternatively, the service idea is not bad. You could go around, offer a service, and say - I'm doing this to save up for a trip to Europe. Some people may feel empathy towards you and hire you even if you have zero experience in providing the service you decide to provide.

I was thinking of providing personalized fitness routine for new gym joiners. I'm quite experienced in the gym and have achived levels even adults reach for. However on the execution front I am not sure. Flyers and stuff like that. Thanks for the ideas though. It's nice to be in a social platform where everyone isn't at your throat.

That's an idea you could go for, and I certainly want you to take action and succeed, it's just that in my experience, it takes much (much!) longer than a month and a half to start generating more than a few bucks (unless you already have skills that can be applied). You can already start building up your social media for fitness coaching yet it's unlikely, it will net you that much that quickly. All the best, though!
