What happens once real money starts moving.
At some point this stops being about lawns and starts being about money, and the turn is quieter than most families expect.
Whether any of it is taxable. Whether a minor can hold a bank account. What a kid is allowed to do with a payment app. What happens to the four hundred dollars that arrived over a summer and left in a weekend. These have real answers, and the answers depend on where you live and how much came in.
The honest guidance is to check locally rather than trust a general answer, including this one. What does not vary is the thing underneath. A kid who knows what came in and what went out is running something. A kid who does not cannot make a single good decision about it.
Five questions about age, budget, time, and what they actually like doing. Four matched ideas at the end, free.
