Isn’t this crazy nowadays that’s a big thing when I was growing up. I don’t know anybody that didn’t have either like a lemonade stand or pop, standard water juice, salt chocolate bars chips like I did all that growing up nowadays like you don’t see many kids doing it.
I’m so in awe of you all! What a fantastic experience. I am a life skill teacher for 6th graders. You are teaching them every thing they need to know and so much more. Such a fan! When I retire in 5 years.. maybe we will meet you on the road! We are looking to travel all the states in an RV! ❤
When I worked retail we were going through a massive coin shortage where we literally couldn't offer certain change back. We would beg folks to round up to donate or they would count out their coins to the nearest dollar amount so that any change we had to give would be in bills. If I had this kid at my checkout I would've thanked him a million times for the change xD
I currently work as a Dollar Tree cashier. Although change kinda sucks to count, the benefit to being given so much change is you don't have to call up a manager to break bills for more change lol
@@haldouglas4773 sorry but no they dont. No hate towards the family cuz it’s a great lesson she’s teaching her son, but when you got other customers in line and you’ve been on your feet for 7 hours, you 100% don’t want to spend 5 minutes counting out nickels
I know that it can be difficult, so I always waited for a better time, asked the cashier ahead of time, and almost to a person, cashiers were amazing about it!
God I needed this. You taught your son how to actually shop and be a consumer and I am here for it. Not only that but you taught him how to take profit and reinvest into his small scale business venture. Kudos and good luck on your snack hustle little man.
Where do you live? I think this is sad. Having to teach a kid to start a business...talk about sucking the fun out of childhood. Indoctrinate them early I guess. Keeps fodder for the meat grinder coming.
I am repeatedly inspired by how you do finances with your kids. I was just talking to my husband tonight about your videos, and when our kids get older we want to teach them the same way you do.
i love all the parents saying they love this, bc as a kid i scammed my peers doing this 😂 iremember in middle school i bought a $6 pack of 100 stickers ($0.06 each) and sold them for ¢25 each. if more than 1 person wanted the same sticker id mark up the price to ¢50 to a dollar. made a good amount of money because a lot of them were nsfw and preteen boys want nothing more than boobie stickers. did this a few times too. one kid once gave me $20 for the whole lot. best thing i did as a kid
Good job buddy!!! When I started my lawn care I was about 9 mowing my own yard and realized I loved it so much I could make money doing it for others!! You got this!!
@Family of Nomads private property or not, you should make sure where you are does not require a permit of some kind. Some states are VERY stingy on what you can do without a permit. In my state, everything needs a permit. You see someone selling fruit by the side of the road? Their permit is posted in plain sight. Even the vans that pull over in parking lots for half a day have a permit posted or cops show up really quick to stop them. I am not saying where you are is the same, but no one wants you to get in trouble over something so silly as no permit. If where you are just requires you to be on private property with permission, it is always a good idea to post the permission with signatures so people don't try and complain. They complain about everything now adays. Dot all your i's and cross all your t's to avoid karens as much as possible. No criticism, just advice.
During my last year in high school we turned an unused area into a little snack shop and it went SO well. Taught us a lot about managing finances, stock, demand...
That is so cool! Did that help you feel more confident when you got a job outside of school? Or even just running your own household? I had two young ladies (15-16) working for me at a store I owned and I was dumbfounded to find out that neither of them could read, or write, in cursive. Neither one knew how to write a check, do math in their head or make change w/o a calculator or the register, dress properly for work, etc
This is such a wonderful learning experience. There's also the fact that different brands make the same thing it could turn out differently depending on what you get so learning about different types of brands and what they make like if you were to get something chocolate related. Great job!!!
YEESSSS I’m here for the hands on learning ❤ way to go. I love the way you give them their quarterly hygiene allowance I have start doing the same thing with my 10 year old. Thanks to you.♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
Awesome teaching time! My kids would have sulked and abandoned the project 😢 So glad he’s having a successful time. Sending healing prayers for your hand.🖐🏻
I hate policies. There should be an exemption for kids. This is a great tool for teaching kids about money and how to be independent right from the get go.
That’s wonderful! Good on him! Maybe when he gets a little older, he can expand into owning vending machines or own a franchise store like a 7/11. I wish him all the best!😊
This is wonderful I wish my parents would have done this for me because I'm 43 and can't manage my money for anything. I'm so glad You guys are In a space and in an area that nobody's gonna hit you up for a $25 per day permit feet like here in Miami.. I am so proud of your kid and I don't even know him. Good job mama.
I want to do this at some point with my crochet. First build up a stock of things to sell, buy some tags so I can tag my items, then find a way to sell them
If you homeschool through high school, you create your own high school diploma and transcript. That is usually sufficient for college admission. There's always the option of a GED, though most people consider a homeschool diploma superior to a GED. Many kids take dual enrollment classes too!
@@anonb315 homeschools are actually accredited institutions. there are still tests kids have to take to ensure theyve actually been learning the assigned educational modules the institutions give the parents... it's not just the parents deciding to teach their kids whatever they want to.
@@no_one1073 and you know this how? Many homeschool students have an associates degree by the time they graduate high school by taking dual enrollment classes. And not every student wants to or can afford to attend a "top university." But they absolutely do receive scholarships to attend even if they're homeschooled.
dang nice i have been doing jobs around my campground too saved up about 180 rn to buy a xbox hopefully soon he will save up for whatever he is trying to buy
My Mom did this for me when I was a kid and it is to this day the most valuable education I ever received! You go! I'm 33 and now a VP in the corporate world still using that stuff today assessing P&Ls.
Good for you educating your kids about money at a young age. Hopefully they will learn how important planning and saving for the future will help them get their higher education without student loans. Debt is really hard on people. God Bless!!
@M don't care who it is. The lines created by this shit gave me anxiety as a cashier. Kids and people did this all the time, and it sucked. I'm not crying a "river" about it but since it's relevant in this video, yes, it sucks. Again, kid or not, I could give two shits less.
@@funkywunkywunkerI agree patience is tried as a cashier or for anyone working in the service industry. I know first hand how rude and difficult people can be despite your best efforts. 100% of the jobs I’ve had in the 21 years of my employment have been in the service industry, to some extent. The only time I haven’t worked in restaurants or coffee shop, I spent as a teacher. Preschool-1st grade. Ages ranging from 2.5 to 8 years of age. Wanna talk about patience being tried? 🤣 children are the ultimate test for patience. Reality is, some people just suck. But a mother with her son respectfully counting coins for a learning experience is not something I would be angry about.
@@heyla87 by no means am I straight up angry, I'm just kinda annoyed. Sure, I'm young, maybe that's part of it, but in general there are just more efficient ways of doing things. Maybe in the moment I'd smile and he kind but deep down? Good lord kid, just have your mom use her card and she takes the coins. That's what my mother did, learned just the same.
You are an amazing mom! You are teaching them that they will need in their future at a very young age! At this rate your children will most likely be very mature and successful in the future
Sorry if this is somehow rude but is Alison non binary bc u use they/them pronouns when talking about them but then theirs been no name change idk my gender yet but if I had a “girly” name I would most likely change it I love the lbgtq+ community so I hope I didn’t offend anyone 🥺
I did this with my niece as well. I love this so much. I invested $127 in snacks juice cups, and upgraded tumbler cups from the clearance section. She turned it into 250 and wanted to reinvest, and then since then she has steady been selling large tumblers with juice in them for 10 a piece with a cost of 2.40 including juice. I started just letting her do her own thing after week four and she did it for months
I feel like this is a great learning opportunity, showing him career paths at a young age, gives him a sense of responsibility, freedom, and independence.
Keep encouraging this boy!! It will pay off! This was me as a kid. I had my first real job at 12 (I worked at a little pony place for kids' birthday parties on the weekend... then a family owned pizza pace at 14 and retail until I turned 18 and could wait tables in college) and before that I did babysitting. I Always saved every penny and knew the value of money. I am 33 years old and NEVER, EVER been a penny in debt in my life. My fiance and I have over $75,000 in the bank. Because we are still renting and REFUSE to pay high rent prices just to impress the rest of the world, we live in a crappy trailer right now while looking for a home. IT PAYS OFF! Great family and great kid :)
I'm honestly surprised the camp grounds allowed this. In our resort there is not side hustles allowed no matter what age. I'm so glad to see lil people learning and making bank so early! Keep up the great work! Love y'all guys!
When he's all grown up, he's going to be a great businessman with a great job and with a positive attitude in life. Before you know it, he'll be running businesses left and right.
