[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3724562, member: 5412"] Had an AM radio in the parents car and mine after turning 16, along with one of those little transistor radio's that one could clip on to the brass switch of a lamp to hear radio. That was it. We didn't have money for many fun things. I mowed lawns with a mower my grandfather gave me and put the money not required for gas and maintenance in a savings account. $1.75 at a time for a city lot. Sometimes my parents would have to borrow money from me to make bills for the month, but they always paid it back. Pretty much financed anything every bought by myself. In return, when finally going away to the Army, and money was better for parents with mom going to work, wife and I fell short a couple of months, so we had them wire us $20 or so to complete the rent or pay bills. Sold plasma as much as possible to get $10 per visit to pay parents back and include 10% as that is what savings accounts were paying at that time in the 70's. Yeah, times were tough. Makes me appreciate the comfortable lifestyle we live now. [/QUOTE]
