Getting the kids to start saving and managing their money at a young age will be very beneficial for them in the long run. This will also teach the kids the value of working hard and to be responsible while earning money.

    1. Dear Aaliyah,
      Remember it is just for the summer,therefore helping / working with a family member or friend with your parent consent should be ok.if it is an online job, you can have your mom or dad set up the online account and you do the work,or negotiate with parents or neighbor to do work around the house.
