If you're not as privileged as to beg money from your parents (like us), you might want to ask your neighbors, grandparents, and/or parents for subtle jobs you can do outside, or around the house. And see if Adobe is discounting your school (most aren't, but ours is discounted). Also, always keep your grades up, otherwise, your parents will probably let you have After Effects once you're out of the house.
Hope this helps.
Christmas gift? Birthday present?
On a more serious note, this is what I do if I'm in need of cash. I both work for my dad (programmer) or other chores around the house (major ones, not simple ones- those shouldn't get payed for), or other people. I try to find any scrap of coins or money in school halls or something. I also wait for something such as a birthday, and (since 700 dollars- which is what it costs I think- is a bit too much for a birthday gift in my family) I pay about half or something.
So I pay $350 and my parents pay $350 and wallah, you have a great program.
Lucky to those people who have it... I don't and I really want it.
I mow lawns and get an allowance if I held around the house. However you don't always need THE best software to make good movies. It really comes down to your creativity.
I bought an older version of after effects, and it works fine.
The student discounts on Adobe products are quite good.
Lol I got after effects for my christmas present about 2 weeks ago
IDK why but my school helped me fundraise for the 'Creativity' of my brain'
My family only had to pay like a $100
But I still cant seem to use it o.o

I bought flash when i was in 8th grade for 170$
i really cant mow lawns now... cuz i have snow on the ground, and how could i get a discount if i am homeschooled? also could i just get it off ebay, and then still use it with out it being illegal?
and thanks.. for the help so far.
ebay?
why wouldn't it be legal?
If your homeschooled no discounts are up for grabs.
WHat you can do is find someone who is a higher education school (university) or high school and ask them to buy it and you give them the money
so i could use ebay to get and older version, all i need is the registration code right? or amazon
Your choice there
Try and buy one that issnt used
So you get your money
The student discounts on Adobe products are quite good.
Sean is wise, listen to him. 
i got the production premium (usually $1700) for $500 because of the student discount
Not available to homeschooled children
Im not gonna get it anytime soon, because i make $5.00 every two weeks! Yay! 
Im hopefully going to get a job as a lifeguard in about 3 or 4 years, so I'll probably save up.
Thats quite the commitment
Try doing extra stuff
Like mowing lawns
Washin windows
