Mrs. Stella down the street whose driveway you cleaned for a hundred bucks 10 years ago doesn't grasp inflation and overhead.

Yep, this is especially true for the older generation, of which I'm now part of, but I did tons of work in the construction field for years, so I know how it goes.


Many of the older folks are remembering when gas was $.50 a gallon and if you made $200 a week you were living the good life.

I've done a lot of work for friends over the years and didn't charge them what I normally would. Now that I no longer am wanting to do that crap except for myself, they are now finding out how good a deal they got and some of them are shocked------but like you mentioned, the cost of running a business is insanely high so that's what it costs to do business and make a profit.
