Good story
Good morning everyone

I had two paper routes starting at 11yrs of age. A small county paper route where I made about $6 a week, then a Detroit News route at about $14 a week. I was the richest kid in the neighborhood Peddled papers until I was able to land a job at a gas station pumping gas.

Worked my entire life until I retired and never received any unemployment benefits.
