At Age 11, Making Money Is Child’s Play

The following article is from TeenMoneyMakingIdeas.Com:Zach McGuire is selling his toys to raise money for his family, which like others across the country, has bills piling up and a home in jeopardy.

The youth said the idea came up during a conversation with his father.

“You can’t live in toys, or eat toys,” he told CNN television affiliate WNWO. “Even though they are fun, you don’t need them.”

Zach plans to use the proceeds for a good cause: helping his unemployed father.

Tom McGuire, a licensed contractor in Toledo, Ohio, has not had a job since December. The economy is partly to blame, he said, adding that he did a job last summer and never got paid.

As the general contractor on the job, he said, he was financially liable for materials and the work of two subcontractors. “I’m out $30,000,” McGuire said.

The father said he is looking for work and is not relying on money from his son’s toy sales. But he appreciates his effort.

“Zach has a big, giving heart,” McGuire said. “He came to me with this idea. He wants to contribute.” Video Watch how Zach McGuire is helping his family »

It’s not the first time Zach has helped those in need. In 2005, he sold Kool-Aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina and raised $400. A few years later, it was “Cocoa for California,” which he sold to help wildfire victims.

“I am very proud of him,” McGuire told WNWO. “He is an 11-year-old boy not living the life of an 11-year-old.”

Zach said everyone can do something.

“Even though they don’t feel like they could do anything, they could do a Kool-Aid stand, like me,” he said. “It’s what you’re doing that matters and how you’re helping people.”

How to Make Money if You are 12 and Have No Money for an Investment

The following article is from TeenMoneyMakingIdeas.Com:“It takes money to make money”. I’m sure you all have heard that saying before. But when you’re 12, money is hard to come by. And as most 12 year olds will tell you, when they ask the question, how to make money if you’re 12, parents can sometimes be no help. Times are tough and parents don’t want to let go of their hard earned money – especially not to their 12 year old kid. So what can be done? Well, one thing that you can do is to try to find ways to make money that doesn’t cost you anything. If you do this enough, you will have enough money to invest in other ways to make money if you are 12.

So, here’s an idea for kids who have no money whatsoever: In almost any area that you live in, you can find places where you can find wildflowers. If you’re not sure where wildflowers grow in your area, just ask around. Picking these flowers which can be quite beautiful doesn’t cost you a penny, yet bouquets from wildflowers are very attractive and are sold in shops all across the country.

By setting up a small table with wildflower bouquets in an area where there is a lot of foot traffic, you should have no problems selling these bouquets for $5-10 each!

Ok, so you’re not going to get rich selling wildflowers, but how does $500 sound?

That’s what a friend of mine made when she adapted this same idea by selling flowers on valentine’s day in her neighborhood. Now, how’s that for an idea for how to make money if you’re 12?
