"Earn My Keep, the unique alternative allowance program featured in the book Earn It, Learn It, offers a way for parents and children to have fun learning about money, work, and the value of time well spent—by turning kids into “actual” professionals!
It's easy: parents and kids choose a task from one of 50 fun careers, complete it within a set amount of time, and earn while they learn.
The benefits of spending 15 minutes per week as a Toy Designer, Paleontologist, or Chef? Kids learn the difference between making the bed as a member of the family and earning a living in the real world. They are exposed to art, manners, math, research, science, and more, without even realizing it. And they build a foundation for a lifelong love of learning and fiscal independence, all while having fun!
Earn My Keep, the first and only allowance alternative that lets kids earn money for test-driving real-world careers, is a treasure trove of more than 950 kid-friendly activities. And it has been rigorously tested with more than 100 families nationwide, through an independent research company.
