When I was a kid I worked part time, back when minimum wage was like a dollar or something, and I could accumulate a few hundred bucks to buy something I wanted.
Figuring part time, 20 hours a week, at $10 an hour, he could have been taking home 180 a week. Within a few months, he could have easily accumulated a couple thousand bucks.

Yeah but he was buying Weed as well
