We four families in our townhouse paid a neighborhood kid to mow our yard last night. I realized later that he makes more money than I do. One of my students told me that the baggers at the commissary make more as well. Dang.

Over beers we compared notes. Financially, she was kicking my butt! However, I'm certain that my retirement plan is better.
Of course, now that you know, you could try stiffing the baggers. Or you could try a tip jar in your classroom.

Oh, I found one!
