So, just how to you tell your kids you’re out of a job, can’t make the car payment or you need to dip into their college funds to cover the mortgage? Those would be tough to swallow for children of any age.

No, I didn’t grow up in the “Wild, wild west,” or a third world nation - just a small town in Wisconsin, where nobody thought twice when seeing a teenager carrying a cased rifle to school. I will always be an athlete of the woods, weather carrying a gun, or a camera.
