Our brilliant boy, 9, is already saving for a HOUSE – and knows how he’s going to make a fortune as an adult

A COUPLE has shared how their nine-year-old son is already saving for a house - and has already planned out his path to riches as an adult. The savvy youngster, Tommy Climmo from Devon, chops up wood, bags it and sells it as kindling for a profit. And one day he hopes to upscale to a hotel refurbishment business - a desire he first expressed at the age of six, according to his parents.

After building up a customer base for his wood-selling exploits, Tommy has now launched his own company, T C Deals Direct. Using scrap wood left over from his dad Dan's waste management company, he sells around 80 bags of kindling every month. The go-getting kid even advertises deals on a Facebook page overseen by his parents - and pays his younger brother to help him bag up the product.
Speaking about his son's entrepreneurial spirit, Dan said he had brought up his children to have an understanding of business. But, the dad said he never expected one of them to be running a company of their own at such a young age. Speaking to DevonLive, he added: "He came to us several years ago and said 'when I'm older, I'm going to buy hotels, do them up and then sell them on'.
"We just looked at each other and thought 'where on Earth is this coming from?'". He added that despite his young age, Tommy is already saving up for a house. And, the business-minded pre-teen is also brainstorming ways of expanding his business - like selling nets of logs.
