View submission: Living with no Retirement money

View parent comment

Starting at 13, I worked full-time in the summers at my family’s business, a campground.

More than full-time, actually - about 12 hours a day, 6-7 days per week, now that I’ve done the math. Funny, I’d never done the math before.

I continued working in the campground until I was 19, had summer jobs throughout college, and my first real job after I graduated at 23.

Retired 40 years later, fortunately with plenty of money to live comfortably.

As someone currently stuck in their family’s campground, may I ask what field you eventually went into?
