| Bull! |
Ingenuity
and investment ventures are alive and well in the economy now. This courageous enthusiasm encourages adults
of all ages. Even the youngest entrepreneurs
have caught investment fever.
A new
company, EHC Investment, Ltd, is a fine example of the new generation. Fifth graders have joined in this somewhat
shaky scheme to allow the four members gain wealth, learn participation skills,
and eventually experience a dawning of understanding.
My
gr-daughter is the CEO/CFO of this new company.
She explained the ideology: She
and three other students earn tickets and fake class money throughout the
day. All deposit these earnings in an
official-looking box which my gr-daughter (CEO/CFO) takes home after school.
There she
counts out the earnings into four stacks, each one receiving equal
amounts. An odd number leaving only one
ticket left remains in the box until the next day. She is honest to a fault.
I think one
boy already knows that his measly three tickets means he will rake in fifteen
tickets on the next day.
It’s all
good, right?
We will see
what happens next week.

Could this be the beginning of a future hedge fund mogul?
ReplyDeleteI think she is too kind to go that direction.
DeleteShe's learning early!
ReplyDeleteHer daddy is in Real Estate and she follows his instruction.
DeleteShe'll be rich by 20
ReplyDeleteYes, it is entirely possible.
DeleteOr, she may realize what 3 ticket guy knows....
ReplyDeleteShe tends to be noble minded. She thinks everyone else is the same.
DeleteWhat a fascinating project.
ReplyDeleteOh, she has had several ideas. It was simpler in first grade. They playground teams/clubs, Vampires, Fairies, and more. It was tag and try to convert members to your team/club.
DeleteInteresting. So, they're sharing their "earnings"? Interesting to see how this plays out.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the "bubble to burst".
DeleteBusiness management classes begin early where you are.
ReplyDeleteHer daddy and she are much alike; both have business acumen.
DeleteThis is a great project for your granddaughter! Hopefully, she'll start investing for your future!

She already has her own spa, with her younger sister as an employee. Cheap, really cheap. But, she garnered $13 last year, which she spent to buy Christmas presents for her family. ;)
DeleteI am very glad to read about this. My kids paid attention to my hubby's instruction, and are all fiscally responsible, with good saving habits. My son, who is 23, writes a blog (not ofte, but well) called The Gradual Millionaire. We used to have them pick a stock and follow its growth daily for weeks It was a fantasy game (no real money) until the end. Winner got 10 bucks and a Happy Meal out with us. Fun investment of our time.
ReplyDeleteThat is excellent! Smart children, smart parents.
