There are a lot of parents that have children going into
college soon. So how can you make sure that they have a decent amount of money
for college life? As a parent, we do worry if our child is going to have enough
money when they leave home. That is why it is important that both the parent
and your college student.
Here are 5 great ways to make sure that your college bound
is securely ready for their journey into life. If done you will be sure never
to worry about them money wise ever. Because as they get older they will
actually keep doing the same thing to always make sure they have money.
Gain Steady
Employment-
No matter what year that they start working no matter it is
while they are in high school or after high school during the summer. Take the
time to help them find a job that is going to stick with them. Then when they
get their first check, take the time to take them to the bank and set a decent
percentage of the check in to a savings account that will gain interest over
time. That way the bank will add more money too it the more that they deposit
money into it.
Then every pay day that they have as a parent you take a
certain amount out of your check and set it aside for them as well. That way at
the end of the summer or year you can deposit that amount into their account
for college.
Baby Sitting
With summer, here there are a lot of kids that are home
because school is out. However, there are parents out there that just can’t find
a baby sitter. Take some time to take out of your day and watch some kids. You
would be surprised at how much money you can make a week just for a few hours
of your time. You not only are making it a lot easier for the parents so that
they do not have to worry about what their kids are doing but they can be rest
assured that the kids are with someone that they can trust.
Making Things and
Selling Them
If you are someone that is creative and you like to use your
hands and make things. Have at it! There are a few websites that you can put
your creations up there and make some money. You would be surprised as to how

put flyers up for a pet service or services that you are willing to offer,
while the pets owner is away. It could be something as simple as a dog walking
service or a pet sitting service. Or if you really want Cto help the client out
offer bathing services. You would be surprised as to how many people will offer
to pay you just for that service.
