California Dreamin'

Sure beats the .50 Cents a yard I got for mowing when I was 12.

Lets say you’re 68.

Just to make this an example.

That means you’d have been mowing those lawns 56 years ago.

So you are saying you mowed a lawn for the equivalent of $4.6 in todays money?

And considering that gas was $.34 a gallon then, I’m not entirely sure I believe you.

A quarter gallon tank of gas would have cut into your profits by 16%, and left you earning $3.84 per yard.

What's wrong with mowing a lawn for $4.60 in todays money? As far as the gas goes, it does not take a qt. of gas to mow a yard and I think my parents provided the gas and mower and transport. Some had their own mower and gas and I would use theirs.

I don't know of anyone around here only getting minimum wage. Fast food seems to start at $12hr and higher.

McDonalds here starts at $14 an hour for 14 year olds. ----$16 if you are 15 or older
