Yes, I would make money mowing lawns & shoveling neighbor's sidewalks & driveways.
Growing up in Chicago we learned a lot about how to get money during snow storms.
After overnight snow storms, my older brother & I would get up early and head down with our shovels, to the closest intersection and just hang out. Inevitably a car would get stuck.
And after struggling to get unstuck the question "Hey kid, can you help me?" is heard.
Our standard response was "Do you have $5?".
After getting $5 & helping the driver get unstuck, we'd shovel back the snow we just shoveled out, to free the driver and wait for the next car to get stuck. We'd walk away with anywhere from $5 to $25 dollars, then go home and get ready for school or snow day.
Devious, yes. But we were 12, 13 years old. 🤣😂🤣
Maybe we caused the extinction.
