My little entrepreneur!

April 10th, 2006 at 07:47 pm

LOL!...yesterday, Ale made a sign that said $12 (of course, the "$" was facing the wrong way! how cute is THAT!) and pasted it on a shoe box ("with glue, 'cause it sticks better than with tape") and she put in a bunch of "booklets" she had cut out of an old math-readiness magazine ...she then made me write (in small letters!) "If you buy one, they're $1")...she said for me, they'd be free, and for her aunts...but not for the rest of the people...the first thing she did when her cousin C came home from a school field trip was sell her one of the booklets! (of course, C didn't give her $12...or even $1!)...but, hey, Ale has the instinct!...

Now, how can I help her apply/develop it??

    Definitely encourage where you can. While all the other parents thought that baseball cards were a waste of money while I was growing up, my father encouraged me and showed how to trade, buy and sell (this is before baseball card collecting became really popular). The result? Half my college expenses were paid for through that collection...

    Encourage her. It is a great opportunity to talk about the value of money.

    Jeffrey that is awesome about the baseball cards. Smile
