WHAT YOUR SUMMER GARAGE SALE CAN TEACH YOUR KIDS
A summer garage sale is a tried and tested way to earn a little cash while eliminating things you no longer need. But it’s also the perfect opportunity for parents to teach their children a few life lessons. Making your garage sale a family project can teach kids about organization, money management, and the pride of a hard day’s work. The lessons start immediately as your family determines what they no longer need. Younger children, in particular, often struggle to part with their possessions. A garage sale is an opportunity to discuss what they use, what they don’t, and why we can’t keep every object we own forever. This process will teach kids organization as they create their “keep,” “sell,” and “toss” piles. On the big day, your children can also play a significant role in organizing and displaying your merchandise. Kids can help determine which items should share a table and what should be front and center to catch buyers’ eyes.
Math and money management also play a pivotal role in any successful garage sale. First, you must determine what the items you’re selling are worth. While letting your kids set prices is probably unwise, you can help them understand market value and what people will pay for used merchandise. Your children can take a more active role in the sale itself. Depending on their ages, they can gain valuable experience making change for customers or negotiating a deal on the items for sale. The best part of using your garage sale as a learning opportunity is that your children can personally experience the value of hard work. They’ll watch their old possessions disappear and the cash trickle in. More than anything, they’ll probably love adding up the day’s takings.
Whether or not you give your kids a cut of the earnings is up to you. But even if they don’t end up with fatter pockets, your children will walk away from the family garage sale with lessons that will last longer than any extra cash could.
3 MOST COMMON REASONS FOR A
their previous injuries to falsely earn workers’ compensation. One way to avoid this is by being upfront about your medical history and how this accident worsened this injury, not started it. 2. The employee missed the deadline. Another common reason for a denied case is that the employee missed the deadline. It can take time to assemble your case and file a claim. Before you know it, the deadline has passed, and your lawsuit is rejected. Insurance companies enforce strict deadlines to ensure no one tries to fake injury years down the line.

This can happen if there were no witnesses or footage of the accident, the injury occurred during a break time, or your own negligence in the workplace caused the damage.

DENIED CASE SAVE TIME AND BE HONEST UPFRONT
When insurers deny your case, it can feel like the end of the world. It takes time and effort to file for workers’ compensation, and with all the pain you’ve experienced, being rejected can seem like a dead end. While it can be tricky, an attorney can help fight for an appeal. There’s still hope you can receive compensation for your workplace injury. First, you need to discover why insurers rejected your case in the first place before creating a counterargument. 1. Injuries were from a preexisting condition.
