Yep, bought my first 10 speed bike from mowing yards for 10 bucks a piece, big yards too!! Push mower no doubt!! I think you make an excellent point too, there is work out there, but not what most want or will do. When I was a kid I hated chores, would rather have been fishing in the creek, but looking back I did get to do plenty of fishing and "play.n" indian:laughing:
I knew a couple of young men that in the early 90's hauled hay for me and several other landowners in my county, for 5 years. Those 2 "boy's" went to college in the day and hauled hay at night. They could move 2000 square bales a day ( 19 cents a bale they charged me) the way they set it up and just the 2 of them. ( also worked their parents farm) They paid for most of their schooling this way. One now is a Vet the other an obstetrician. They didn't get many "guvment handouts" ( lets just say they "didn't qualify" for much), but I'm sure they did the loan thing also, but their work ethic will bless them all their lives.
I have immense respect for these 2 young men and for their parents.
