And very early , probably when i was seven or so.I took this book our of the Bensen ,Libary called”A thousand ways to make a $1000”
And one of the ways in this book was having penny weighing machines.
I sat adn calculated how much it would cost to buy the first weighing machine,and then how long it would take for the profit from that one to buy another one.
And I would sit there and create these compound interest tables to figure out how long it would take me to have a weighting machines for every person in the world.
I had everybody in the countty weighting themselves ten times a day.and me just sitting there like john D.Rockfeller of weighting machines.
That allwoance when I was a little boy was a nicked week.
But I liked the idea of having a little more than a nickel a week to work with.
And I want into bussiness ver early.
I started sell Coca_Cola door to door.
I sold gum door to door.
I sold “Saturday Evening post”,”Liberty” Magazine “Ladies Home journal” you name it.
I think I enjoyed the game almost right from the start.
But I like being my own boss.
That’s one thing i Liked about delivering papers.
I could arrange the route I wanted.
Nobody was bothering me at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning.
I was delivering 500 papers a day.
And I mand a penny a parper.but in terms of compounding .that penny has turned into something else.
