J.D. learned the Work Income Connection very young. At age four, he knew that work produces profit and profit equals savings. Although work was not forced upon him, he was taught the value of money very early. His grandparents and parents owned an orchard and family farm in Orem.
Every day, four-year-old J.D. systematically filled his little red wagon with seasonal produce and pulled it through the neighborhood selling Spring peaches, apricots, and sweet peas. In mid-summer, tomatoes, peppers, corn and cucumbers were piled high. And in Autumn he sold galas, jons and grannies; pumpkins, zucchinis and melons. It wasn’t hard for him to understand the ups and downs of economics. He sold produce all through his childhood, and in adulthood has reaped the fruits of his labors by following his early lesson that Profit equals Savings.
