I started a petty trading at the age of 9 years and then I was making some little profits, so I can call this an income as well. I started making a reasonable amount of money from business when I reached the age of 22.

It's a good thing that you were able to start trading at a tender young age of 9 and if you have been able to set up petty trading at such a tender young age then you should be a proud owner of a big Business by now. It's our ability to build on what we have started that make us successful in life.

Well, most of the people in here have stated that they have earned their first money when they were in their mid or early teenage years. However, my story is quite different. I never made money during my early days and I have earned my first money when I was around 25 or 26 years old.

Most African kid starts making money at the tender age because our patent cannot fend for all of us , so we have to go out there and make money to support the family one way or the other.

This kind of situation is the same in my country. There are many people who start making money in their childhood because of high rates of poverty in my country. We really need to overcome this problem. Otherwise child labour will rise significantly.
