Grandpa gave my sister an I each an orphan lamb to bottle feed and eat grass that sold for a couple Bucks each at the Chicago Stock yards. Money went into our savings account. Never had much money till I was a teenager. Summer I was 14 the BTO came over one morning to ask Dad if he could hire me. Was June 1st and he still had most of his beans and some corn to plant and needed to cut hay for haylage in a couple days. That all turned into a 6 day a week 12 hour a day job for 6-7 weeks. Then I had some pocket money! I worked for him every spring and sometimes in fall for 7-8 years. Paid cash for my first car, 3 yr old Chevy Nova. And wasted lots of money on various too small & too slow motorcycles.
Always seemed to have 2-3 jobs available to keep me busy. Dad had lots of friends who appreciated the help and paid well.
It got to the point one fall before I went back to College Dad asked if I could loan him the $3000 to make the next farm payment. I wrote him a check on the spot without question. He repaid me when I was home at Christmas. My Day job that summer was the Township road commissioner. I got paid once a month, Township board had to approve my check. I knew what it was like to be out of cash. I worked two part time jobs that summer for Pocket money.
