[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1663204, member: 25884"] I have done several jobs over the years.... babysitting when it was $.50/hr.... $.75 when I had 3 or more kids to watch. $1.60/ then it went to 2.10..... waitressed for $1.85/hr plus tips.... your money is in the tips=====meaning GOOD SERVICE. I have never made 30,000 a year with all the years I milk tested... but I had flexibility. Milked cows part time, because I could get up early, do that, then go do another job if I wanted more money, or do something else for me. Now they get $5-10.00 an hour to babysit... and some aren't very good in my opinion. I was making $8-10 hour when I was milking part-time and then waitressing on top of it. Like [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] with his delivering trailers, there are perks that give a person some incentive. My milk testing now is like extra since I can live on my SS. Used most of my retirement as a down payment on my house last year and paid off other debt. I didn't have alot in there and lost 1/2 it in 2008 so had to rebuild that and then stuck it in a safe but low interest paying option. Not going to let the gov't start taxing it extra to "spread the wealth" and support all the ones that won't work. That's coming with the current administration.... Agree that most nowadays don't understand that if you don't work you don't eat.... they have it too easy, and there is no pride or drive to get ahead with so many of the younger generation coming along. They want it now, they don't want to get dirty or sweaty to get it, they think they are worth all this money and have no skills to warrant that inflated belief in themselves. And they all ask "what's the payment?" not "what does it cost" ? So the socialist everyone has the same same..... works for them... Not me, if I work for it, it is mine....and I will work something to have a little extra ....because I am also of the same mindset... if I do something extra, that is extra in my pocket that I didn't have before.
