Like Kidz Bodz, but for financial education.
How many young people get their first credit card, max it out and then wonder why they can't afford anything?
How many people of all ages amass huge amounts of money in a Savings Maximiser account earning 6% when they could be earning up to 20% if they invested in shares, managed funds or property?
Plenty of people.
If only kids could learn some basic financial literacy at school, so that they would know how to manage their money once they start to earn some.
Kidz Bodz helps reduce the growing obesity problem, Kidz Dollarz would help reduce the growing debt problem.

Great Idea #21: Harry Potter Reading Room
Ok, now that there will never be anymore Harry Potter books, this idea can never happen.
If you owned a bar two weeks ago, you could have turned it into a "Harry Potter Reading Room" on Saturday night.
You'd have lots of comfortable couches and waiters that come around serving food and drinks whilst people sit around reading Harry Potter.

Great Idea #20: Motivation in a pill
Motivation would be great if it came in pill form.
How many times have you sat in front of a computer with a whole lot of work that needs to be done, but you just can't muster up enough motivation to do it?
You start to make excuses for why you can't do it, you start to think of things you could do to get out of doing it, some of them quite extreme such as quitting your job or getting hit by a bus.
You try having some coffee or an energy drink to wake you up, but that doesn't help.
If only you could pop a pill and you'd suddenly feel like entering that long, tedious list of numbers into a spreadsheet is the most exciting thing in the world......

Great Idea #19: Off the beaten track parties
For some reason, my friends and I frequently come up with lots of really fun party ideas, many of which will never eventuate. Perhaps it's simply because so many of us involved in theatre and we love an opportunity to dress up and show off.
However, it would be great if there was a collection of GOOD party ideas. Not lame ones like "Football party, come in your favourite football colours," but unusual party ideas, like, say, a ladybird party, where everyone must wear black and/ or red and/ or spots.
Even more fun would be to provide a feedback function, where people could rate how their party went, and post photos and tips.
Here are a few ideas we've come up with lately:
-Slinky Pinky party- the trashiest barbie inspired pink outfits you can think of. Trashier the better. If you have a pink trailer in which to hold the party (a la Barbie's trailer), this would be ideal
- Pirate pARty- everyone must talk in a pirate voice, wear a parrot or an eye patch, and preferably amputate a limb. All drinks must include rum, and all food served must include the sound 'AR', such as banARnAR, or pARty pies, or tARcos.
- Asia bling party- Head to toe burberry with ear muffs. Not a single pattern matching on your body, topped off with the world's most enormous earrings. Hello kitty. You get the idea. Serve sushi, mai tais and Japanese slippers.
Get creating the most ridiculous party ideas you can. There's bound to be SOMEONE who loves it and takes it on. Most likely my friends...
