As a kid my brother and I were required to do certain things around the house my Mother and Father decided we should do. Like taking out the garbage, weeding the lawn, helping with landscaping and keeping the pool clean. In return we are allowed to eat and sleep in the house for free.
I started delivering the newspaper when I was 12 and did well. Went on to be a dishwasher and then MacDonald's. By the time I was 18 I had saved enough to buy a brand new 1973 Camaro for cash.
Retired at 60 and never looked back.
