Anyone who is up to 23 and has not earned any money is considered to be irresponsible. That's because at that age, one is expected to have financial intelligence.
Age of 23 is too far in my perspective. Some people start making money at the age of 16 and in some cases lower..

Well according to the age of majority in the country where you reside I suppose, but I think that at 16 you are old enough to start earning.

There's a kid in my neighbourhood who stated working in a water factory at the age of 10 years. He lost his parents and he started working at young age.

I understand, that I think may be possible in your country, in my country there is a regulation that prohibits this, that child would be taken to an orphanage and if they find him working they close to the company where he worked.

That will probably be a very difficult situation for the child. Don't they have relatives that can take care of him?

In my country I think the age doesn't matter at all with the Earning of money whether online or offline. What matters alot is the way through which they use to earn the money.

Children of today tend to have money consciousness much earlier than we had in our time. They can start making money at 8 years old by doing some casual run arounds for tips. But real money making should be from 15 years old up.

I have even seen someone who is at the age of eight and he is already a social media celebrity. He is into comedy and he is already rich. I think sometimes children needs guidance to make it early in life.

I would teach my children to start earning at a young age. Let's say about 8, they should start earning their biscuit money. That would destroy the sense of entitlement as they grow up.
I think I need to convince my niece to hold money and start to save money. At her age 12, she never hold money. It seems she needs to learn the value of money at this point in time now.

it is very important to teach a child how to save money. That will probably help them in the future to learn how to save and invest wisely. At the age of 12, she's old enough.

I started earning at age 10 and that was so exciting. I keep my money in the piggy bank. It is good to start earning while still young. Young minds need to be nurtured with the right value of money through hard work.

Did you start a business as of that time or were you helping someone to work and you were paid. I started helping people to do some businesses very early.

Making money at a young age is a very good thing. It builds in you a sense of responsibility. I started earning money early though. I was always embarrassed of asking my parents for money.
It is fine for the young ones to work while going to school. But then, they need to be at least 18 years old. It is the required age for them to work. But then, there are some still do work underage.

Age is just a number. Provided a person can do the work to the satisfaction of their masters or if they can do the businesses accordingly to the set guidelines and procedures then they are good to go regardless with their ages.

In this our days and times, even 8 year olds can start earning. The kids are very smart nowadays and they can start earning from a young age.
There is nothing wrong for kids to make money but they should be taught some skills first. Skills that will help them to be successful on the long run.

Also, you would need to teach them values so that they can control themselves when the money starts rolling in.
