My children are desperate to earn some money of their own at the moment, they are always asking for jobs to earn a little money and the list of things they are saving for seems to be growing daily. We give them tasks to complete to earn some pennies, usually things like tidying up or sweeping, and Vauxhall's recent survey showed that 36% of children are paid to wash cars.
My boys are still a bit young to be send out to work (they can't quite reach the roof yet) but it is definitely something I will give them the chance to do in a few years and Vauxhall have created packs for young entrepreneurs who wan't to start up their own car washing franchise.
The Vauxhall Kids Carwash Franchise starter-pack gives you everything you need to start your own business, including:
- Car-washing equipment – including a bucket, sponge and squeegee
- A pop-up Kids Carwash sign to advertise your business
- Kids Carwash business cards so you can drum up trade
- A ‘How to’ guide to carwash like a pro
- Kids Carwash badges
- Fold your own money box, where you can collect your hard-earned cash.

ReplyDeleteI never received pocket money from my parents, but never really went without anything. I had to get a paper round to earn my own money.
ReplyDeleteI never had pocket money as a child, my dad always said he pays for my food and clothes so why should he give me money for helping out around the house I live in. I wasn't allowed to play out either so there was no way to earn money, just wait for Birthdays and Christmas for money from my nan. I do give pocket money to my kids as I feel it helps them to learn early budgeting skills, but they have to earn it by doing little chores.
ReplyDeleteEvery sunday (weather permitting) I would wash my mums horrible looking rover LOL!!! I got £2 that was alot of money back in the 90's :)
