I was. We had no allowance but my Mom & Dad would leave a weekly list of things to be done around the house, inside & out. We would be paid upon completion.
Biggest one I did, painted our beach house one summer. Scraped the clapboard & painted the house Barnyard red. I got $150 a week. Put in 30-35 hours a week . I was rich lol!!! Yeah now, darn my parents got the house painted under minimum wage.
2nd blizzard of 78 in MA, shoveled snow for hours at $5 an hour.
Gotta say my Dad taught the value of hard work as a lawyers kid who could have been spoiled. Both my parents were Depression kids, no spoiling in house.
