TEENAGE YEARS
As a teenager my grandpa had to work at multiple jobs for his money. His 1
st
paying job, as
a teenager,
was when he
was 13. He
worked on a
farm making
hay bails. For
each bail he
had to cut the hay, rake it into wind rose. Then bail it, load it into the truck, drive it
into a farm. Next he had to stack it and cover the hay, then repeat multiple times
getting 5 cents per bail. At the age 14 he was able to drive. His first car he paid for
off a lot was a 1958 Chevrolet 2 door, low mines, he bought it like new for $115.
Today this same car will be about $30-$40 thousand.
