yeah I know the feeling. I had my car since I was 13 and it seemed like it took forever working for it one lawn at a time...then you gotta wait to drive it, and the day you fire it up its all worth it. The next best day is the day you break it
cause ya get to do it all over again. However now I just pay for it one house painting at a time..or in the current situation one bathroom remodling at a time.
