Today is the day! We are building my son’s computer as we speak. After shoveling, cleaning, and saving - my 12 year old made the biggest purchase of his life this week. And now we’re building a computer together. Pretty rad.

I asked him how many times did you watch the install videos without me? “Too many times” He’s been obsessing for weeks now. Totally versed in every step. “Here’s the little triangle. This goes right over here...”

Jack Murphy 🇺🇸 ⚔️ @jackmurphyliveMy son wants to buy a gaming computer. He is 12. He asked me how he could make money. I told him I cut lawns and had a paper route at his age. He just left the house with a shovel and a pitch for shoveling walkways and sidewalks this morning. “Idk when I’ll be back.”#SoProudShow this thread1 reply 3 retweets 32 likesShow this thread -
Son learned about: - work for money - working with others - budgeting - spreadsheets - computers - patience - risk taking - and the power of the internet He did learn what hard work can get you but he also learned of the power of social media. All crazy valuable.
