Making Money Out of Nothing $_$

Yosh!

Today I'm going to share my first time experience making money. I was in boarding school that time and holding the highest post in 'Koperasi Sekolah' (What's that in English? School bookshop? I have no idea. Could you please put that in comment if you know).

By the way I didn't really earn money by working there - read more $_$

Living in boarding school, you eat 5 times a day - breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper, at the dining hall. If you need more food, can buy at the canteen. Twice a month you can go out to the town to buy some stocks (instant noodles, biscuits, etc) and have KFC or McDonald. If you are cunning enough, you can go out every weekend and if you are really naughty, you can go out everyday. I used to do that when I was in form 3, I went out almost everyday, either by cheating to the guard or warden, or use the school van for free ride :p

But you can't really have any food at night when both dining hall and canteen are closed and you don't have enough courage to go out by climbing the fence. I was broke that time and I got an idea.

I talked to the teacher who was in charge for 'koperasi'. I talked to her, I wanna sell cookies at the hostel and I wanna buy it from 'koperasi' but I don't really have money in my pocket. I requested from her to take a jar of cookies first and I pay the next day. She agreed (I don't think I took advantage of my position at that time :p).

One jar have around 80-100 cookies and I sell them for 20 cent each. Cost me around RM 15 - 17, so I earn around RM 3 - 5 per jar. I started selling one jar, from dorm to dorm. I was in form 5 that time, I tried to be nice to all juniors and sold the cookies to them - after one hour, sold out. Usually I start my business after school session (after lunch) and before midnight.

I did that almost everyday. From one jar, slowly I added more up to 12 jars! So my customers (the juniors) have more choices. My profit increased. I earned more money and I started all that with nothing in my pocket $_$

That was my first experience in making money. I'll share with you guys my other experience in making money later. Thank you for visiting $_$
