Probably 17 years ago my mom would have the newspaper boy mow her
lawn. It was a fairly large back yard, but a tiny front yard. We
supplied the mower and the gasoline. She paid him $15.

My son used to shovel sidewalks 10 years ago, and got paid around
$10-$15 per, back then.

Funny how people seem to think $10 is a windfall for something the
going rate is likely much higher for currently.

Everyone remembers what the going rate was when they were young and
they expect it to be the same.
