From a very early age, I was taught the value of money. Not only did I do chores to earn a weekly allowance, but I was expected to save my money for things that I wanted to purchase. I made money by selling lemonade from a stand in our front yard. I went door-to-door trying to sell my neighbors my handmade arts and crafts I didn’t sell any. I collected salamanders from our backyard and called around until I found a local t store that would buy. I pfoducts aluminum cans and traded them into the recycling center for cash.
