Ever wonder why so much effort is put into growing up and achieving great wealth or stardom?

Many residents with limited income could come into the Wayside grocery and purchase their needs with only signature of good faith to pay whatever they could on the first of the month. Those who still fell short of funds could trade with goods grown on their farm.
