How City Kids Run Their Sidewalk Lemonade Stands
Such a fun piece by Joanna Goddard. Take Sam and Will Schiller’s stand. They’re brothers, ages 10 and 8, respectively:
How did you know what to charge? SAM: My personal financial advice is 25 cents, because everyone can afford it. Even if your allowance is $1, you will be able to afford four glasses. Also, you can make a classy combo with Oreos, or do three glasses for 50 cents.
Is it just me, or are kids getting smarter? I don’t think I knew that something was “classy” at age 10. Although, Oreos are the classic cookie.
