Probably early to mid-50's. Both girls have been married almost 25 years. But, the first couple years of each marriage had it's ups and downs... one more than the other. All three kids are still on their first marriages.

14, between freshman and sophomore years working for neighboring farmers during haying seasons. Hot, hard summer work. 50 cents/hour. Worked every summer during high school. Made enough to buy my own first car. Worked during my two years of college. Classes on MWF. Drove a truck for a wholesale company TTS. Just got me thinking. Being retired is the first time I've been unemployed since 14 years old. :>)
