16. shit I'm 44 and haven't been able to
Dad was a Teamster, over the road driver for LTL carriers in the 60s and 70s. Not only were his driving wages and benefits spectacular, the buying power of his dollars beat the buying power of mine all to hell. He had to work 70 hours a week to make the living he did, but he was able to do well for a man with an 8th grade depression-era education.

I fear I will never do as well :(
