I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.
At age nine, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest. When I didn't collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.
Sudden money is going from zero to two hundred dollars a week. The rest doesn't count.
Our typical customer is a local guy who needs the money to get by for the week.
I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation.
You worked every day to earn what's on the table, literally. It was a week-to-week thing. And I wouldn't change it. I would not change it for anything.
My mother worked in a school canteen - then worked in the canteen of a chicken factory. Every Friday, the pay packet money would be allocated to cover bills.
I was very, very happy in Chicago as an actor making $168 a week.
By working hard we could make an average of about $5 a week. We would have made more but had to provide our own machines, which cost us $45, we paying for them on the installment plan. We paid $5 down and $1 a month after that.
I get $13 [a week] now, because I’m 13.
The station put us on staff at $35 a week... and I mean every week.
I got a horror film, 'The Burning,' and suddenly I was making crazy money, like a thousand a week, so I moved into an apartment on Amsterdam with a guy who was also in 'The Burning,' Jason Alexander.
