How would most 11 year olds complete this sentence?
"When I grow up I hope I have enough money to ________________"
My 11 year old daugher said she hopes to have enough money to have someone do all of her chores everyday. Haha!
Well until then, guess what suga....
;-)
Why not poll a class of fifth and sixth graders and find out?
They would complete it as differently as any adult.
Save the planet, buy a car, cure cancer, be a pop star, rule the world, buy a million puppies...the answers are infinite.
Most 11 year olds would not answer it the same way.
My 12 year old said "...buy a mansion."
How would most kids ...
none of my kids would answer that the same - they all have different interests and personalities. Just as varied as their Christmas wish lists I think.
One of my boys it would probably be a fancy car, another it would likely be travel, a house with pool ...
'most'?
who knows?
it would be nice if all the answers were altruistic and global, but i think mine (and most others) would be something along the lines of 'have the most up-to-date gaming system available' or 'go snowboarding every day' or 'have a pony.'
and the answers would change from hour to hour.

S.
All of my kids would answer with enough money to go on unlimited cruises.
My 12 year old said "to help homeless people around the world!" And my 10 year old said "to own a race car and go to Hawaii" n 12 y/o is a girl, 10 year old is a boy. My 6 year old boy (overhearing) said "to give my kids money." LOL!!!
My 11 year old niece being the sweet, naive girl she is would say: save the world!
Our son wanted his very own aircraft carrier at that age.
There wasn't a whole lot of reality in these day dreams but they were fun!
"Grown up" is a concept that's still pretty far away for an 11 yr old.
They don't usually see money as a way to a means either at that age.
They'd much prefer to wave a magic wand and Poof! have all their dreams come true.
Actually, that questioned was asked of my older kids around that age. Thier answer was more along the lines of having fun and having a big house.They don't want to live the boring life we live-going to work everyday and then coming home everyday to do chores. And then the answer would be added that if they had the money now, they would want phones and video games etc.
When I grow up I hope I have enough money to _give my parents____and to buy online games, toys etc.___________
never have to struggle with money and be able to do ((fill in the blank with any cool toy, car, vacation, activity, etc.))
