Investment ideas

[D2Cat]

....

My daughter is 2 and we have chickens and sale the eggs. The money is hers, she helps every day feed and get up the eggs. I sale them for $5.00 a dozen, not certified organic, but the feed is free of growth hormones and bi products. this is easy money, laying hens require little work.

The chickens mentioned above we started to help teach our young girl responsibility and it works. At 2 and some change she knows every night we have to get up the "babies" eggs and make sure they have feed and water. this has also helped her learn to count, she counts the eggs and the babies each night to make sure none went missing when they are on the roost.

Just some ideas above.

Creature Meadow, I find your post refreshing!

I had an incident a month ago where a young boy was kicking a soccer ball on the roof of the house and from standing directly in front of the picture window in front of the house.

Happens to be a rental home we own.

I contacted the wife and explained the activity. The answer I got was, "We'll pay for anything broken. He's only 7!". As if at 7, one should not be expected to understand proper behavior or correction.

So your post confirms humans actually have the ability to learn at an early age. Even Dave Ramsey has some financial training for 3 year olds (and up).

You daughter will grow up being a contributor with a work ethic, not a winer. Good work!

Wow !
So many excellent ideas.
Thanks for all the great comments, links, and suggestions.
Now Im thinking about different ways to address my curiosity.
Thanks again.


P.S.
D2Cat I couldnt agree more with you with not being able to understand some peoples mentality on discipline.

D2Cat, thank you for the kind words.

As for Dave Ramsey we live by his word. Ella gives 10% of her eggs sales to church, and the remainder to her savings account at the CU.

Don't want to hijack the thread but here she is planting "tatoes" as she calls them with me. She loves to clean, told me mower was dirty it needs a bath tub.
