Inode,
Ha. I did get paid. I didn't have it THAT bad lol...I think it was $1/hour at that time.
That's nice, but you still had to help out at your parents' store, and you were just in 6th grade. Whether they paid you or not was up to them.

I have plenty of friends who had to help out at their parents' store and didn't get paid. Even after that, they had to study like crazy, go to piano or violin practice, SAT prep courses, etc.

Ted of course would point out the fact that their lessons made them "rich," but that wasn't the case at all. They just had parents who were determined that their children (and their grandchildren) ended up better than them.

You don't see that much in the Baby Boomer generation, unfortunately.

My first job paid minimum wage, $1.25/hr, probably well after that. Your dad was probably paying you minimum wage!
