How did you try to make money when you were little?

Question

Lemonade stand? Lawn mowing? Snow shoveling? Car washing?

Answer 1

Well, this one time when my two other neighbors and i were about 4 or 5 years old decided we would sell rocks. Yes rocks. We live outside the city limits and there are gravel roads, so we went and found the "cool looking" ones. Then we set up a little table and made a sign. Living out of town, only one person drove by. We tried to chase them down, yelling "WE HAVE ROCKS FOR SALE! COME BACK!!!" but they didnt stop.
Yeah, we were pretty smart kids =]

Answer 2

I would gather the toys and books that were not really importan to me and set up a "yard sale" in front of the playground. I also set up a snack stand at the long movie theater lines during the summer selling lemonade, ice water, and popcorn. The first success was the amazingly long lines for E.T. - NYC

Answer 3

This is going to sound way country, but when I was little I lived on a farm. Me and my dad would go to the local livestock yard and buy (runt) pigs. They were cheaper than the others because they were runts and they were runts because the sows had too many piglets for the number of teats she had and the runts were the one's who couldn't get enough food. There was nothing wrong w/them other than they couldn't get enough food Then we'd take'em home feed them up and sell them when they were older and make a sizeable profit. Sounds like I'm way country and maybe so but it worked. I had my own bank account with $$$ in it when other kids didn't.

Answer 4

When I was 11 we lived in a small town. The main street 4 blocks long had 6 taverns. I had a shoe shine box and shined shoes and cowboy boots in the taverns. Shoes 20 cents a pair, cowboy boots 30 cents a pair. My biggest day was 4th of July. I made $6.30 by 4 PM.

Answer 5

Baby sat, cleaned neighbors house, Curled neighbors hair, run errands, (from 8yrs. to 12 yrs) then at 12 and 13 yrs. old>>>I washed dishes in a diner, and cleaned my Aunt's Beauty Shop after school and on Saturdays. I made $7.00 a week! " Oh, Happy Day." I worked at this 'til I was 16 yrs. old. I loved working, and making money, and helping my mother as she worked Hard too. ( My Father had deserted us!) But that was O.K.>> He was a Drunk anyway. (We were better off) "Smile"

Answer 6

The local grocery store was called shop 'n save. When I was 5, I got a huge cardboard box, wrote shop 'n save on it, and put in it a whole bunch of food (canned goods, boxes of cereal, Kraft macaroni & cheese, eggs, milk, and much more) from my house. I sat with the box in my front yard on a lawn chair from morning until night. I charged a flat rate of $.25 per item. Many of my kind neighbors came and bought things from me, but secretly gave the items back to my parents. Haven't thought about that for years - thanks for the memory!!

Answer 7

Babysitting

Answer 8

I would babysit. One time when I was 9, this lady said she would be back at 8 that night, and she didn't come back for 5 days. I had to bring them home cause I had to go to school!

Answer 9

Selling the free newspapers that were delivered to the edge of the estate for 20p each. And sold a few!

Answer 10

i think of they are all good. and that i think of that's the way it is going: once you're asserting 'I certainly have little time to spare,' it somewhat ability you haven't any longer any spare time, while in case you had pronounced, 'I certainly have a sprint time to spare,' it ability you have slightly time to spare. comparable for money. in my view, (a million) and (3) recommend decrease than (2( and (4). yet i'm no longer too confident..... sorry.
