I use to make 25-30 dollars a month in the mid 1960's riding my bike 1.5
miles to and from the grocery store/gas station/meat freezer (an all in one,
in a 4 building town) picking up the beer bottles each way tossed out of
cars. I understand the summer I spent in Minnesota with my Grand Folks, the
locals thought a hoard of litter bugs had descended on them, where as it was
just some 9-12 year old kid getting rich off of others peoples slovenly
habits.
That started a lot of what became my self starting, in things I wanted or
was interested in.

For a couple of years, when I was about 11 or 12 years old, a friend, Tommy
Greene, and I used to ride our bicycles, pulling our little Radio Flyer
wagons with a rope, to the local dump to dig out returnable bottles, which
had a 2-cent value each. Bought us a lot of comic books and candy. Not sure
if either benefited us much, but we felt like entreprenuers.
