making money (to pay for a bengal)

Are you good at any kind of crafts? If you are possibly you could make and try to sell.
Wash windows.
Yard work such as trimming bushes, planting, etc.
Heck, I would even try getting a can, putting a pic of a Bengal on it, and if safe enough, go door to door explaining you are trying to get a Bengal cat. Maybe people would be willing to donate, you never know....just make it very clear it's NOT for charity, shelter or rescue.
Don't know if you like cleaning but maybe housecleaning for some people, especially the elderly.
If you know anyone with pets going on vacations you could offer to care for the pets.

Also let your parents know that ANY cat living in horrible conditions can become "wild" and "mean". I also watch animal planet alot and have seen one of the police men attacked by a regular old housecat that was living in bad conditions. He was cut by claws and bitten pretty badly but again the animals were in bad conditions and not taken care of well.
I got my first Bengal kitten a month or two ago and he is the sweetest most affectionate cat I have ever had. He gets on my lap every morning when I get up and go out on the porch to have my coffee.

dont forget Frenchhorn, its not just the cost of buying a kitten, its the cost of the aftercare too, we feed ours nothing but the best, i am not saying that normal supermarket brands are bad, i just understand the sensitive stomachs that bengals have and dont want to push it. there are vets bills, the cat litter if your cat is going to be a house cat etc. You really have to get your parents on your side with this. Good Luck, as a parent myself I know how difficult we can be :roll:

Or she'll be like the sweet guy in Prison Break who was happy just sitting in his cell hugging his cat.

When I was younger I babysat and also cleaned houses. I could get $80 for cleaning a good size home. What about a paper route? You can contact your school and see if anyone needs to walked to and from school? What about asking for cash as Christmas presents from grandparents, aunts uncles ect.?
