Mow yards, do odd jobs, work on the farm. I had money when I was 14. Actually I probably had more money when I was 14 than I do now, lol. But I worked for it.
Amen to that!
When I was 13 A neighbor of ours became paralyzed waist down and loss some use in hands and arms. He asked me if I could use his tractor and cut his grass. Told him sure.. No problem. When I was done he handed me 5 bucks and told me if cut the lawn the rest of the summer I could have the tractor and the following year he would get a service to cut. I agreed and took the tractor home. I picked up 4 or 5 more lawns and did pretty well with it. The guy that gave me the tractor insisted I still take 5 bucks every time I cut to pay for the gas.. I tried to not take it but he always made me.
