I worked at a library, movie theater, mall, etc. from age 14 to save up
money for college so I could get out of my hick town. Fortunately
earned scholarships so that seed money went to books, gas, etc. Still
had to work part-time during school, and after graduation the 8k I had
left went to a house. Paid off the mortgage after a few years scrimping
and now make 150/hour - but I spent several years putting in the time at
65+ hours a week for 42k/year to get the training to make a lot more
now.

have a small kitchen garden - vegetables and spices. It's amazing how
much better fresh produce is and how easy it is to grow a lot more
variety than your local farmer's market. In suburbs where chickens
aren't allowed (although they are allowed in city, go figure) - but next
house I'll have a small chicken coop and bigger watermelon patch. It's
nice and relaxing as a hobby, gets me away from the computer and outside
in the sun. |
