I gave my 12 year $2 for doing some chores so he could buy candy at school. He came home with $8. He bought the candy and resold it at recess to other kids for a profit. He used that money to buy more candy and kept on until he had $8. He even gave me my $2 back.

I carry a lot of regret for parenting mistakes I've made so it's extra rewarding when I see them succeeding.

Your kid sounds smart, but he goes to school with some dumb asses, considering they could have bought the candy for the same price he did.

Astute businessman.

A related story.

Buddy across the street's older daughter lined up some dog walking gigs around the neighborhood paying $5 per walk.

Older kid got the middle child to do it and paid her $2.

Middle child was furious when she found out the job paid $5.

He told the middle child she just learned what subcontracting was.

Older kid should have gotten a lein release. Then she will find out what contract law is.

I just knew this was going to be a life lesson for a 12yo in sharing and selflessness, turning $2 into feeding 10 friends and helping the cafeteria lady with home repair or some such.

One Man who sold the world post later….

He'll grow up in favor of capitalism. Not an once of communism with that kid. You should be very proud.
