Hey Biz Kid$.....it's not hard to do a fundraiser for the Haiti earthquake victims. 

Jackson (9) and Giorgia (6) got two thermoses of hot chocolate (+ refills) and a donation jar, made some signs, and set up shop at a local hockey tournament.  They didn't just collect $$$$....they also collected a few other kid volunteers who went out into the crowd to accept donations.  In a couple of hours all the kids raised $141.70 for the American Red Cross.  Way to be Biz Kid$!

Any kid can do this.....get out there and do your own 'Hot Chocolate for Haiti'!

Here are three things you can do to get in better financial shape this year:

1.  BUDGET - Live within your means by creating and sticking to a budget.  Need help?  A great online tool is:  http://www.mint.com

2.  SAVE - Everyone should know how to 'pay yourself first'.  Set up an auto-deduction into a seperate savings account of 10% or more off of each paycheck.

3.  CREDIT - Get a handle on that credit card debt.  Here's a non-profit org that can help:  http://www.clearpointcreditcounselingsolutions.org/

Happy new year Biz Kid$!

What's one of the most classic sights and sounds of summer?  The traditional ice cream rolling through the streets of the neighborhood.  Well check out this ice cream truck run by two young entrepreneurs - it's not exactly traditional...... only a little bit better.
