If your kids are like mine, they love to have a little cash on hand. While we do have give our children a weekly allowance (see Our Allowance System), they are often looking for ways to earn more money. My youngest enjoys a few extra dollars to buy Lego sets or, more often, candy. My daughter has her eyes on saving for big-ticket items, like a nice camera.
My problem has always been that, while I know there are lots of extra jobs that need done around the house, I can never think of them when the kids seem to want them. I finally took the time to come up with a system that I wish I had thought of years ago: our Money Makers file.
Great idea! My kids are the same way with wanting to earn extra cash, but always approaching me when I can't devote time to think of a job, much less explain how it should be done! This will be great not only for summer, but our busy home school year as well!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the wonderful ideas! Grace has been asking to earn extra money recently and this just might be the ticket.

This is a great idea. My daughter (6) wants to save up for an American Girl doll, which as everyone knows is not cheap, and has been asking if I have anything she can do. She also loves to ask at inconvenient times. Thank you so much, my husband and I have some brain storming to do!
