Many times my son has asked what he can do to start earning some money. It is a great teaching opportunity for your child to earn and then learn to budget while they are young.
But what can a child under 15 do? Some ideas:
1. Mowing lawns
2. Car washing
3. Helping an elderly person nearby with various household chores
4. Walking dogs
5. Sell some of there older things at a garage sale (with parents approval of course)
6. The old fashioned lemonade stand
7. Shovel snow if you live in that climate
8. Be creative - let your imagination go and see what you come up with.
Once they find some form of earning, help them see the costs involved too. If they are mowing grass, there is the cost of gas. To sell lemonade, you must first buy lemons or lemonade mix.
Have fun and don't be afraid to try various things. Doing it at a young age is a great way to learn without mistakes costing too much!
