One of the reasons my kids get their pocket money only every now and then is that there isn’t always enough money to go around. I have always maintained a very tight grip on my wallet, which is great – as far as it goes. Once more I refer to the great Ramit, here he is guest posting on the Man vs Debt blog :

to make 2010 the Year of Earning More. The past 7 months have been dedicated to helping people earn more money by earning more on the side, and the response so far has been massive. Hundreds of thousands of people read, commented, and Tweeted and otherwise chimed in on earning more. Everyone wants to make more money.

Great enthusiasm — but there’s just one thing wrong with this…

Most people who say they WANT to earn more… never will.

I have been as guilty of this as the next person. Take a look at this blog – it has been almost six months since my last post! This is a project to earn and learn (as my daughter would say – that’s a programme she is doing at school this term!) However I have managed to spend six months waffling about a new webhost, which plugins should I run and even questioning the very name of this project! All well and good points to consider for an hour or two, but this is silly.

My challenge to you, to all of us, is to get started on earning those extra dollars that mean our children can have regular pocket money! What are you going to try first?
