LOL - We call it our Black Shack days in the bush, The entertainment at night was listening to our mate, Tilly Hissing at us LOL - Kerosene light on the dinning table, no power until I was 15yrs old.
But to be honest, it was those times that made us, who we are and financially, we all did well as you had the drive from a very young age.
