  1. I believe this is what you meant by money making opportunities, but if I am wrong I will absolutely redo it, I was just a little confused.

    1) Maybe starting a pet care business like Terri Lemmon does. I love animals and would love helping, grooming, and caring for them all day long.
    2) I could have a big space and people could drop off things that they didn't want and I would pay them for it (but at a lower price) and then sell it at a higher price so that I could make a profit. This is kind of like off of the show Pawn Stars, but it wouldn't just be antiques, it would be everything you regularly see at a typical garage sale.
    3) I could have a class that teaches people how to fish or some other skill. This is something I am pretty good at and am comfortable with. considering I wouldn't really need to buy any supplies this would be mostly all profit.
    4) I could invest a good chunk of money in steady mutual funds and watch my money work for me. This option is risky, but so are the other ones because you never know what could happen.
    5) I could do horse riding lessons. All I would really need is a horse and I use to do rodeo so I have a good amount of skills. I think parents would love this one because then they can still let their kid ride a horse without buying one and having to worry about where to put it.

  6. Five potential money making opportunities for me could be; one for starters is babysitting. Babysitting is a fun job, especially when you enjoy being around kids, and if the kids like you back, you are often asked to come back and watch them often while the parents need or want to go out. Another is pet sitting, pet sitting is also an enjoyable job. As you get to be around pets without having the commitment of owning several pets. Another is house sitting. There are often times when people go out of town and they want someone to check on their house, and water plants. There is also getting a part time job in town. Part time jobs give you good experience on how to deal with people, and they prepare you for the possibilities in the real world. Another good one would be yard work. Especially for elder people that want a good looking yard but are not physically able to do it anymore.

  7. 1)Pet Sitting: With pet sitting, I would not have to buy any supplies to go with it. The owner would provide everything and I would simply just care for the pets. I would never be losing any money, resulting in me always making money.
    2)House Sitting: Goes along with pet sitting. I have taken care of people’s houses while they have been gone in the past. All I had to do was check up on their house while they were on vacation. I watered plants inside, cleaned the house up everyday, and made sure everything was locked up. Simple and easy and I made good money.
    3)Mowing Lawns/Lawn Care: I would either have to purchase a cheap mower and pay it off with the money I make mowing or have the people I am working for provide the mower.
    4)Scooping Snow: Simple and easy task. I would have to go buy a cheap snow shovel and go make some money.
    5)Lemonade Stand: Just like the game we played, I can create my own lemonade stand. Of course I would have to buy supplies and hope to make more money then I spent.
