For those "youngsters" out there from us over 40

Couldn't agree more. I am 44 and got my first "job" delivering newspapers and my 10-speed at 12. Moved to Florida when I was 13-1/2 and I had money in the bank when we did. Spent 6 months getting used to FL and then decided I wanted a boat. My Dad said, "Great, get a job." I did. At 14 started working as a bus boy at a local deli/restaurant. Saved my money and bought a boat 2 months later - I found it in the NEWSPAPER

My oldest is now 14 and all he does is sit on his butt and play Xbox. A couple of weeks ago, he said to me, "I really want to get a dirt bike." I said, "Great, get off your butt and start earning one." Hasn't lifted a finger to earn anything yet. My 11 year old has a better work ethic than he does.
