Almost Effortless Money

My ten year old daughter started her aluminum can business five years ago. She asked as many relatives and my friends to save cans for her as she could think of. Every few months we picked them up and cashed them in. She has made as much as $30 in one business transaction. Over the past five years she has made hundreds of dollars.

A couple of days ago she took home $14 with the price of aluminum at $.70. Remember "egg and butter money" is a little here and a little there and it starts to add up. Fourteen dollars could help pay a bill, get a meal at a restaurant, or some groceries.

Remember, you can do this with all metals. My friend removed a cast iron bathtub during a rehab and instead of taking it to the curb, he took it to the scrap yard and got $35. It took some muscle and a friend but it was still $35.
