COMPETITION DETAILS:

As you may know, I did a workshop for teens
where I taught them about how to make their
money work hard for them.
I was inspired by Patti Handy, who had at
that time just written a new book called,
“Ditch Your Allowance And Get Richer Than
Your Parents”.
I really liked the title, I thought it was
a very catchy title for teens and since my
workshop was very soon, I simply called my
workshop, “Chuck Your Allowance And Get
Richer Than Your Parents!”
But I knew this was too close to Patti’s
book title, so this was just a very temporary
title until I found something more original
and appropriate.
And Patti has been very good about it too.
She’s just awesome, you can check our her
products and gifts here:

http://amandavandergulik.com/Recommends/theprosperousteen
But the point is that I needed to create a
permanent title that wouldn’t infringe upon
Patti’s title.
And up until now, I’ve had a complete Writer’s
Block!
This is where I need your help.
It suddenly dawned on me that the best person
to help me come up with a good title for my
money workshop for teens would be you! ;o)
And I want to give you something for helping
me too.
So what I’ve decided to do was to hold a quick
competition. I’m sending this email out to my
entire list of over 5000 loyal members and you
have a chance to win a complete copy of my
brand-new “Teaching Children About Money” Video
Home-Study Course! ;o)
Here are the details of how this will work:
Simply send me your best title by this Sunday
evening midnight EST, the 9th of May.
I’ll review all the suggested titles and the
top three titles will be given a FREEcopy of
the full home-study course! (all 11 Video Lessons)

I did a workshop for teens where I taught them about how to make their money work hard for them!

What will be its NEW name?

At the time I needed a quick title for the workshop and I was inspired by my good friend, Patti Handy, who had just written her new book, “Ditch Your Allowance And Get Richer Than Your Parents“.

I borrowed a version of her book title as the temporary name of my workshop. I called the workshop: “Chuck Your Allowance And Get Richer Than Your Parents!”

This was just a temporary name until I could come up with my own original title.

And Patti has been very good about it too. She’s just awesome, you can check our her products and gifts here:

But the promblem now is that I have hit a ‘Writer’s Block’! I don’t want to keep the tempoary title as that would infringe upon Patti’s book title and copyrights but I am having no creative insights at all as to what to call my workshop!

This is where I need your help!

Summer is coming nearer and garage sales are starting to pop up all over the place!

Now’s the time to start your own kid business. Here’s how:

- decide what your garage sale business will be: lemonade stand, ice tea, hot coffee and donuts? How about something different like: face painting or jewelry making?

- next scope out the neighbourhood for the ‘garage sale’ signs. Then go knock on their door (together with your parents) and negotiate the right to sell your business wares at their garage sale in exchange for either a commission of the money you make or a fixed rental fee.

- see how many garage sale owners say yes.

- line up some friends or siblings or both to ‘man’ your businesses for you. Give them either a commission or fixed rate for running your stands. Make sure they are customer-friendly. You want to make sure that the garage sale owner is happy with this arrangement so they will want you back in the future and will spread good word of mouth free advertising for your business.

- Have Fun! Make Money! Manage it well! Share the wealth! (give a small portion to your favourite charity.

Hope you enjoyed this tip!

There is ‘Good Debt’ and there is ‘Bad Debt’.

Bad Debt is Debt that takes money away from you and makes you work harder to repay it.

Good Debt is Debt that brings money to you and makes your money work hard for you.

Huge Difference! If you find an investment or business venture that will pay you MORE than you pay for the loan, then that is Good Debt! But where do you get the money from? Maybe the people at www.nationalpayday.com can help.

I have no affiliation with them, I don’t get a commission when you get a loan.

I just liked their open-mindedness to using Debt for Good rather than Bad.

Enjoy their article! ;o)

Investing When We Have No Money – Guest Post

When you are in school, especially at a college level, it is essential to start to think about your finances and how they will affect your life once you have graduated and gone on to a career in whichever field you have chosen.

Loans are very normal for college students as the price for education goes up every year and many students feel that they need these loans to have a comfortable life while attending school. But eventually, you will have to pay down these loans, but there are options for re-payment that may help you to pay down your debt.

When we are young, we often live very inexpensively and we have a lust for life that we may slowly lose as we grow older. Youth is a great time to take advantage of your life, especially when it comes to investing in ventures that we see that can make use very rich one day.

Often these ventures, such as investing in a fledgling business on campus or backing a friend’s new company, require money. Usually, it is ill-advised to take out loans, but sometimes, a payday loan can be just enough to get us in on the ground floor of a new venture that will lead us to a comfortable living down the road.

Taking a loan may set you back in interest costs, but if you can use it to create even more income for yourself then it can also change your life depending on the opportunities that are available to you.

In the Internet age, many of the larger, more successful startups were concocted during college years (think Bill Gates) and if it weren’t for young investors taking educated chances financially by taking out loans or asking for money to create these opportunities, these companies may have never even gotten off the ground.

Money is the key to investing and it often takes a loan to get the ball rolling in a situation where we are not established and are a struggling college student. Just make sure your investment will pay you more than your interest payments cost you!
