Are you familiar with such a situation, when your friends are given money by their parents or they somehow manage to earn on their own without the help of their parents? Friends flaunting the fact that they can spend money at their own discretion? Do you not have such an opportunity or are you chronically short of money? Today's recommendations are just for you.
First, never flaunt money and your solvency in front of anyone - you will avoid many problems with envy and fraud! Second, find out exactly what amount of money you are missing every month. Thirdly, let your parents know what exactly you need money for - they will definitely tell you what you can do to get the desired amount.
Do children need money?
The question is interesting. Some adults, even the majority, believe that children should stay at home, learn lessons and ask their parents for money because they are still small, and their duty is this: to study, not to work. But what to do when the child feels like an adult and has his own needs, problems, and worries? After all, many world facts are known, when children already at the age of nine own mini-businesses and employ even their parents! Does that mean it's too early for them to work? Do you have to sit at home and ask for money at home?
We learn from the time we are born: we learn to walk (some learned earlier, and some later), and we learn to write (it is not a fact that some will be able to do it competently even at the end of school), we learn professions (many people look for a job from door to door; ask adults if it is easy to find the job of your dreams)... We study all our lives in order to learn to earn. Stop! And when will we actually earn?
Should a child work in his, say, 9 years? To decide is the personal right of every person! Another thing is whether you can work legally and according to the law - for this, you need the advice and permission of adults. Whatever it is (they accept work from the age of 14 and with the consent of parents), if you want to earn money, you HAVE A HUMAN RIGHT TO IT - to earn for your needs INDEPENDENTLY! Another thing is that your parents may forbid you to engage in heavy or dangerous work. In this case, you should accept: that doing such work is illegal and no employer will hire you. Also, do something that will not harm you in any way. Carefully consider our recommendations.
What exactly should children do?
1. Performance of various types of work. (However, you should do the housework for free, because when your parents prepare food, wash, and iron, they do not charge you money for this).
2. Trade in something that will not harm others (not food, that's for sure).
Now in order
1. Wash your neighbor's car for a fee. To begin with, post notices at entrances. Also, read on the Internet how and with what to wash cars correctly, so as not to damage the surface. Believe me, this service is relevant! Especially if the price is not high, then you will be busy with work quite constantly. For example, for 10 yen. for 1 wash, the neighbor will probably agree that you wash his car once a week. That is, from 1 car you will earn 40 yen per month. And there are still many neighbors... The main thing is that your work does not interfere with your studies. Remember this!
2. Take up recycling of unnecessary products, such as used bottles, and old newspapers - all this goes for recycling. Waste paper can be collected from the apartments of friends. It is better to go with strangers in a group, or even better, with adults - take your grandmother with you. How much can you earn? - It's hard to say, it depends on the number of collected bottles/newspapers and the cost of receiving them in your city.
3. Cleaning the areas around private houses can also be a good source of regular pocket money. Post ads on poles in the private sector - and wait for calls from customers. For example, for cleaning a small area from garbage, leaves, and stones, you can take YEN 5. If you need to pull up grass and dig up tree shoots - 15 yen. Prices are approximate, be sure to check with your parents about this. Perhaps it is worth taking more, but remember, it is worth starting with low prices for services, gradually increasing the cost.
4. Caring for pets while on vacation. All people from time to time go to a village, another city (where they would like to stay for a couple of extra days, especially in retirement)... For vacation, etc... You are here as here. Notify neighbors and possible customers from the house next door that you are engaged in this service. For example, one-time care or a day of feeding and cleaning costs yen 5. A grandmother who goes to the village will gladly find 10 yen at your service to stay in my native village for a couple of days and remember how wonderful it is to live next to nature. Those who go on vacation will be very grateful to you for giving them the opportunity to escape from the city. You can take the animal to your home during the absence of clients (make sure they don't get bitten))), or the care service at the client's home is possible if they have complete and unquestionable trust in you (you must be well-known in the yard or among acquaintances). Watering flowers, by the way, is just as necessary as caring for animals.
5. Cleaning at the neighbors. The cost depends on the contamination of the territory. But for a small fee, you can get a job washing the floors of the residents of your apartment building every week. Here you can also add washing surfaces (it is dangerous to wash windows, it is better to forget about it for now).
6. Clear driveways of snow. It is most relevant in the private sector, where there are garages from which cars leave and utility services do not work. Also, everyone needs paths from the house to the road. For such a path of 10 meters in length, perhaps 3-5 yen will be paid to you without any problems.
7. Nanny for a child is a job for you, if you are at least 11 years old, you like to communicate with the little one, if the care will be up to 2-3 hours and you will not have to feed the child. This is a very responsible job! That's why it's better to do it in the presence of another adult. For example, take the child to your home, where your mother or grandmother is. In this case, your client will be calm for his child.
8. Manicure at the client's home. If you know how to do it qualitatively and professionally, then you can charge hryvnias 20-30 for such work, including the travel to the client.
9. Sale of unnecessary things or clothes. Ask your parents if you can get rid of this or that unnecessary thing, post ads in the yard, and wait for buyers.
10. Making jewelry. This can be expensive. Prices should be seen in stores. What it can be: leather bracelets, necklaces, jewelry made of beads, etc.
WARNING!
Do not sell food products. It is illegal to do this without special permits, and you cannot explain it by the desire to earn pocket money (even the parents are fined). You shouldn't sell anything at school, because you'll get in trouble. Be sure to discuss any business ideas with your parents - they are responsible for you before the Law of our country! If you are not sure, always ask an adult!
