Mine starts at 14, mainly because all the farm work was paid in cash.

I remember getting paid a "WHOLE DOLLAR" for working a day in the tobacco fields dropping sticks as a kid (I think I was 5 or 6).

I had it spent five times in my mind before I got home riding my bicycle. (8^D)

Where did you grow up? I didn't know they raise tobacco in N.D.
