I live in a snowbelt. It sucks to be me.

My 10 year old has discovered his shoveling skills are earning him $$$. I give him $2.50 for our sidewalks each time we get > 2" of snow. The neighbor is giving him $3 I'm being outbid! A miniature lesson of capitalism in action, and the mobility of labor.

I've thought about that tactic, but my 4 yr old doesn't have an idea of what the money could get him... I guess we'll have to wait for a few years before that will work around our house.
