The cost of making a kid a star...

by Beth Wechsler May 3rd 2008

Filed under: Kids and Money

With the competition reduced to four teams, this week's episode of I Know My Kid's a Star brings us to what might be thought of as the top of the homestretch. This is good news. It's almost over. Soon we will no longer be treated to mothers who say things like:
  • "They nailed her to the cross."
  • "At home I'm used to pushing her."
  • "I don't want to get frustrated with you here. Tone it down and start to cry."
Nor will we have to listen to children who have more maturity than their parents but are forced to speak like parrots.

Alai: "Couldn't you just talk it out with her?"
Gigi: "She's a liar and how do I feel about liars?"
Alai: "You don't like them."

Making money on the street (without begging or selling drugs)

by Gary E. Sattler Mar 25th 2008

Filed under: Entrepreneurship, Kids and Money, Career, Wealth

I have a great deal of regard and respect for people who have the motivation to help themselves without adding an additional burden to society. I think a lot of people share this attitude with me. That is why the following video caught my eye. This video is a quick yet effective tutorial about taking your inner talents and using them to generate income on the street. Unlike common panhandlers who generally solicit money by invoking pity, street performers are willing to provide entertainment for the funds they seek. I can respect that.

Check out the video if you'd like a few good pointers about earning income in the great public venue. Please leave a donation in the hat on your way out.
