You’ll also have to deal with the weather, which can be unpredictable. Unfortunately, the weather will play a big part when customers are deciding whether or not to buy your product.

Dollars and Sense for Kids
Designed for children, BankSITE Kid’s Corner provides a brief guide to banking, the history of money, a savings calculator, fun facts about money, and money making ideas.
Sense and Dollars
From site: Money means a lot of different things to different people. However, no matter how they view it, most people think that money should be managed effectively. But thinking is not doing, as so many of us have found out.
Sense and Dollars was designed to give kids in middle and high school a leg up on acquiring that knowledge. Here, they can practice many effective ways of earning, spending, saving, and investing money in a safe interactive environment. They can explore budgets and credit cards and interest rates among lots of other concepts surrounding economics and personal finance using the best educational resources on the Internet. Then, they can apply that background to engage in some real-life money problems young people face now and in the future planning for a dream prom, handling a family checkbook for a month, and seeing how credit cards can impact the actual price you pay for items. In these activities, they will balance needs and wants with the reality of income, and make informed choices as a result. And theyll get a chance to use important mathematics skills as well.
TheMint.org
From site: Launched in 1997, the site provides tools to help parents as well as educators teach children to manage money wisely and develop good financial habits: the building blocks for a secure future. Given the current rate of savings and debt in America, this is a lesson that desperately needs to be learned.
Sections on this site have been designed for families. Most pages are written in a kid-friendly style so families can work together or older children can work independently in learning money lessons. However, some sections have been developed exclusively for teachers and parents.
- Ideas for Teachers contains activities to illustrate sound money-management concepts.
- The Parents section provides tips for mentoring and nurturing children, to help them grow in financial responsibility. Some of these tips lay very simple groundwork and can be used before children start grade school.
