I worked for a local farmer cutting weeds out of bean fields starting about 14-15. Then the Cimarron steakhouse at 16 for 1.97/hr. Thought I was rich.
yeah, it was just what you did. You wanted things your parents couldn't get you, you worked for it.
WHen I turned 16 I had $1500 for a car. Dad sold me his for $3000 I made payments on the last $1500
