18. I don't remember it myself.

I always lived in a family where all the adults had to work to make the ends meet. My grandparents both worked as well, but I don't think they both had to insomuch. It was more of a choice for my grandmother than a necessity at the time.

Still, they ended up living with my mother later in life. Which suited me fine, since they were awesome.
