My father bought me a used 1966 Plymouth "Fury lll" for $500. This was in 1969 or so. I paid him $5 bucks a week until it was paid off. I grew up in a smaller southern town. The only jobs for 16 year old's were in construction and I was happy to get those. I got lucky one summer and got a job with an Ironworking crew putting up a factory. $5.50 per hour plus standard 60 hour weeks. 10 hours a day, Monday through Saturday. Sometimes Sunday too. With 1.5 overtime I was raking it in. I paid for the whole next years school, room, board etc with it. John
Glad to see B Ob is putting curbs on the gambling banks. They can't be trusted to know even their own business properly. Who ever heard of lending ( giving ? ) money to people who had no hope of ever repaying it. I expect they will take a break until the dust settles a bit on huge pay-offs They should be stripped of their unethical gains imho
