I'll tell you one thing though, it makes me seriously regret not starting a playground business.

One time in 6th grade I was trying to sell sodas on the bus, I could get a dollar or two for each one (bc soda couldn't be found in school) but it didn't work because I had to take them from my fridge and I didn't have the means to drive to the store and buy my own.

Mark my words though some day when I have a kid that boy will be a little capitalist :D

I made a boardgame in 4th grade for a class project, classmates liked it so much that during breaks they'd want to play it. We proposed that everyone chipped in a little of their snack and put it at the end and the person to reach the end first would get the glory of a napkin stacked into a small pile of snacks.

My friend and I would administer the game, taking a little of each snack for everything.

He didn't keep a proper balance. He should have inserted stickers back into the economy through a lottery system. This wouldve kept perpetuating the pseudo-value of the stickers.

People would be envious of the winner every day.
Hope for winning tomorrow would purpetuate value.
Winners would have stickers to spend.

He also should have sold more businesses at a cut to other owners.

And finally he should have traded in the stickers for tangible items like blowjobs from playground sluts and real cash.

Reminds me of when I was in grade 4 and the teachers introduced this marble shooting game played at recess, and kids would bet the marbles they had on the games.
A lot of kids were surprisingly playing and enjoying it.
However, a few cheating faggots who would bring their own near golf ball sized marbles, really sore losers, and parents concerned about the school introducing their kids to gambling latter and it wasn't too supprising that they eventually put in the no betting rule after only two months.
Predictably, everybody stopped caring soon after.

Once I started a shop with some friends in my class where we sold pretty looking rocks that I found on the ground. We made a decent amount of money but above all it was just fun; we set up a stall that had its own storage room and sliding doors, a logo, and labels and price tags on all the rocks. Then people started coming to us for jobs and we ended up with security guards watching the store. Eventually it started a trend of starting other businesses like one that sold drawings and another that sold sweets. The sweet shop became the most successful, or at least it would have if the school hadn't decided to close down all the shops because kids had started stealing money from their parents.

This was all in a single class of about thirty kids, and I think we were about 9 to 11 years old at the time. Holy fuck I miss primary school.

TJ made the mistake of hording everything for himself and making it so the lower class couldn't spend any money. You need to strike a balance in order to maintain your riches. That's one of the reasons Bill Gates gives so much money away; if he kept all of it, he would cause the dollar to inflate a significant amount, thereby devaluing his own money.

Monstickers are goods, not money themselves.

Each kid is a business who exchanges those
goods for different reasons.

After TJ stockpiles all of the goods of value in the market, nobody has any ability to stay competitive and instead "sit around and do nothing".

When goods that offer the same value as previous goods that are out of supply emerge on the market, TJ goes bust. Gretchen forces TJ to form an anti-monopoly agreement in order for the new economic system to prosper.

It uses the idea of the Keynesian multiplier effect, but the problem in the show wasn't one that Keynes had. At the end, this is resolved by an anti-monopoly contract, but Keynes wasn't concerned that one evil mustache man was going to control ALL DA MONIES. He was concerned that businessmen were going to save too much and cause the economy to go into depression. That's why I call it a pseudo-concern of Keynes.

As the amount of stickers M is a limited quantity (we clearly saw the store being sold out) and the velocity i.e. exchange frequency tends to zero (the kid kept all the cards) we now see both the amount of transactions and the price also tend to zero.

ah. High school is what you're looking for friend. Best way to make money there is selling kids cigerattes or weed and ESPECIALLY booze. The kids will pay top dollar for it, because they have no way of gaining access to it themselves.

My oldest sister was 21 for my entire high school career. I made several hundred dollars a month selling kids smokes, weed, and booze for incredibly jacked up prices. I'd sell the smokes for about 1 to 2 dollars a pop, weed would go at about 60 bucks for an eighth, but booze would typically be about double or triple whatever had to be paid for it at the store. My sister would also take her own cut for her contribution to the scheme.

The most important thing I did though was I used a fake alias and kept the same customer base for all 4 years. I always feared a narc would slip in, rat me out and ruin my entire system for being a goody two shoes. I did the math once I graduated high school and I made over 10k in these sales. Spending it all now in college before I have to take out loans and it is great. College is a lot harder to sell, smokes is pointless cuz now they can buy their own, most college kids now also know older kids to buy their alcohol for them which also sucks, and I live in Oregon where weed is legal to 21+ a 2 hour drive away in washington so it's hard to sell weed for the same rates I used to. That's really the only part I miss about high school, how easy it was to make money. Especially around Prom time as people got ready for parties and needed large excesses of booze and/or weed. Sometimes I sold people bags of oregano. I once sold this repressed emo guy a bag of oregano since I had no weed for him that day. He raved about how good it smelled and then later that week told me how the new stuff got him super baked. Never did tell him what was really going on. High schoolers are dumb as shit.

Whatever candy would fall out I would sell for whatever kids had. it was all profit.

With just your classes books you could pull 200$ easy. I would have like 10 to 15 classes books. Literally like 60 books ready to go at the end of the year.

I use to be rich in school due to smoking.

If you were under 16 they could be really hard to get hold of (britfag).
You could sell one smoke for 50p and there was always a demand.
A pack of 10 was £2.50 or 20 for £5 from the shops.

Had an older friend who would buy then for me, bought a pack of 20 and sold each one giving me £10, then bought two packs and so on.

There was always a demand, it was pretty awesome, on good days I could sell up to 80 smokes. Would make about £60 a week, which for a 12-14 year old was pretty rad.

It's always better to sell fast and get rid of the shit you have before prices deflate unless you know you can ride the bubble for some time. The longer you hold the goods, the more likely it is the bubble will burst.

Well, not really. Gates is not like Scrooge McDuck, who actually hoards paper money and coins. Money and paper money are two different things. Paper money is physical, it's used everyday, it wears down, it gets replaced, more of it gets printed if the economy needs it but it's not something government and banks do often because that can disrupt basic street economy if you are careless and print too much.
The amount of wealth in the world is vastly superior to how much paper money is going around at any time.

If the economy of the Disneyverse was real, it would be broken as shit and the feds would be on Scrooge's ass for hoarding all that change before you could bat an eye.

in grade 10 when I started high school. I got a job at a gas station. being only 16 it was hard to obtain cigarettes for most kids but I was able to buy them for myself from work. I'd buy 4or 5 packs every time I work and sell them as singles to kids at the smoking pit. 1 for $1 and deals on multiple. at the time a 25 pack was about 9$. every day I had at least 50$ in coins. by grade 11 I moved up to weed and by grade 12 I had seven other dealers working for me at different schools and colleges in the area. moral of the story: sell sand to the beach fuzz to a peach.

Scrooge McDuck doesn't hoard, actually. In one of his educational vids where he teaches Huey, Duey(sp?) and Louie about finances, he say the money he has is actually moving around. I can't find the video right now, but I know it's on YT.
