Some scruffy guy mows my lawn, I think he gets $10 for it, he doesn't do a very good job, but its more than I would do as I wouldn't do it at all. Its part of a package deal with my neighbor. I also don't clean my house anymore. I pay a housekeeper $25 a week to come in and clean it once a week.

It all comes down to time = money I put in about 50 hours a week at work and for the last 2 years I was going to night/day/summer school getting a second degree because I felt like it. House cleaning and yard work simply were not getting done. I make ok money so $100 a month for a clean house and maybe $30 more for a mowed lawn costs me about half a days pay a month and I don't have to do it and it gives me that time back for myself (It would take me longer than 4-5 hours to do all that in a month). Now that school is done, I could mow my own lawn and clean my own house, but ill still pay someone else to do it as my free time is more valuable to me for other things.

So if you want money there are only a few ways to get it. Win it, Steal it, Inherit it, or earn it.
