I know how you feel. I was forced to restart myself at 40 years old. At 41 I was raising 3 children on minimum wage which was 8 bucks an hour back then. I counted on but never asked for the hundred bucks or so I was getting per week in tips. I really appreciated it and showed my appreciation with a very thankful Thank You. Could I have survived without the tips ? Yes, but it made life a little easier.
