By the way, to offset this, there is a big thing in kids gymnasiums, bounce houses, etc that the fine print now says that people who bring on suits agree to pay for the defendant's (the business) attorney fees.
one MEEN Ag said:Not a lawyer, but I have specifically talked to some lawyer friends about this as a business prospect. Children cannot sign waivers that waive away their liability, and that contracts that state business are held harmless against a child's injury etc are contracts of adhesion.AgsMyDude said:Oh yes absolutelyTecolote said:These are extremely popular at kid parties. One thing to be sure of - don't even think about having anything less than the best liability insurance policy possible.AgsMyDude said:
A buddy from high school started up a bounce house side hustle.
Does pretty well showing up to a party in the morning setting it up, and coming back several hours later to take it down.
No waiver stops a lawsuit from being filed, but in this instance, waivers don't stop lawsuits from proceeding. I have only seen two bouncy house companies. Ones that have a ton of insurance and cost a lot, and super cheap fly by night operations. The second category is usually the more judgement proof.

Do the parents have enough money to make such an indemnity worth anything, even if enforceable?Proc92 said:
Can parents indemnify the business against claims kids might have?

I live on a country club golf course and average at least four or five golf balls in my yard every day (except Mondays). Because everyone here is pretentious, all of the balls are usually brand new Pro V1's.
So my two kids built a little stand on #17 and sell the balls back to their original owners at pure profit.
Now, no one is going to get rich doing this, but I told my 9 and 10 year old after the first day of doing it "at least you can say that you've now worked more real jobs in a single day than your President* has in his entire lifetime".
Here is what I've got so far (3 weeks). Some of the mileage is tough to track as I'll make trips to/from my commute and/or daily driving schedule. Car averages around 45mpg._lefraud_ said:
I started Uber this month mostly out of boredom, I'm single (divorced) and have a ton of free time. I'll do a few rides in the morning on my daily commute, and some in the evening. Get paid immediately after every trip. Car gets good gas mileage, so it's really just costing me time and eventually wear and tear. Will update with numbers after a couple of months.

My kids' side hustle is selling bbq at town festivals, etc. They make a few hundred $$$ on a Friday or Saturday whenever our town has an event or sometimes random Friday's at the local wine shop's wine tasting night. I have a large bbq trailer that makes this possible, so I'm glad to see it get some use.
I realize this isn't an option for lots of folks, due to equipment/time/licensing/knowledge.
I will say that the 'side hustle' that pays off the most, year after year is just learning how to do some basic repairs, renovations, and improvements. If this means that I don't have to pay to replace my clothes drier or call a plumber or pay for a brake job, my 'hustle' saved (earned) me a couple thousand $$$ per year.
Pretty sure you'd be charged with something on the order of "theft by false pretenses"BlueTaze said:
Havent yet pulled trigger, but fake transition from man to woman, and lead remote LGBT awareness training sessions for large multinational corporations. Anywhere from $200-500K a year. Once happy with chip stack, expose the scam and make a mockery of these virtue signaling losers.

I did do food deliveries one evening, but I don't like my car smelling like fried chicken all night, and it's more "work" than just picking up passengers. However, the tips can be far more lucrative. It's all integrated into the Uber driver app, which makes it easy to turn off/on throughout the day. Alcohol delivery is also a pain with having to check a DL and get signature from the purchaser.
