Kids Can Make Money Too! : How Young People Can Succeed Financially--Over 200 Ways to Earn Money and How to Make it Grow
"Never overdraw your bank account."  These words of wisdom are used at least four times in the first chapter of "Kids Can Make Money Too!" by Vada Lee Jones.  It is a practical book, but it's not just about making money. It cautions young people to avoid the pitfalls we adults may have already experienced.  The book is a major breakthrough for parents...bits of advice on how to have fun without spending money. It's hard to believe someone is writing the same advice we say to our own children.The chapter "Services" lists 78 ways children (and parents if they want to be included) can earn money.  A chapter on selling includes more than 60 items to sell and how to get started.And by the time you finish the book, you know how to keep records, the dangers of credit cards, how to learn about income tax and many other things we all think our children can pick up by osmosis rather than a face-to-face or face-in-book lesson.   --Liz Manning/Palo Alto Times TribuneKids Can Make Money Too! by Vada Lee Jones.
