We love finding ways to help people make money, whether they are 7 or 70. Here are a few innovative ways that grandparents can encourage their grandkids to make money this summer – without chores or gardening!
-
Get a game system that works for all ages – a Nintendo Wii comes to mind – and have your grandchildren set it up for you and give you lessons in how to play.
-
Invite over friends and neighbours for a summer barbecue – your grandchildren would learn a lot by being the caterers: planning a simple menu, making a budget, shopping, preparing the food, serving the guests and cleaning up.
-
Enlist their help as you write – or record – your memoirs. Get a digital recorder and have the kids put the files onto a computer. Or if they can type, they can transcribe your written pages. If they are crafty, you could sit down together and put your pictures into a beautiful scrapbook.
