Lemonade Stand

Here's a fun little game you can play to test, or develop, your business skills. The idea is, you run a lemonade stand for a month (you can fast forward), and you set your prices and the quality of your product, and make adjustments according to your feedback and the weather forcast (which always seems to be 100% accurate, by the way!), and see if you can turn a profit or if you end up taking a loss. I guess I didn't do too bad. My gross income was $231.80, with $190.55 expenses and $2.04 liquidated inventory, for a net profit of $64.29. Not much of a paycheck, but what do you expect for running a lemonade stand? I think I'll let my kids try it and see how they do.

Yes, we are getting a lot done, aren't we! Actually, not doing that bad. Our buyers will close on our house on Tuesday, and we close on the new house the Monday after that, and they are very nice and will let us stay until we move. My inlaws are coming to help pack on Wednesday through Friday mornings, and we'll load up and go down to Cedar City next weekend, I guess. School starts on the 19th there, and at least one of my kids wants to go to public school, so that will be a mad rush. But then we can settle down and develop a normal life again.
