only on dcum! i'd ask your neighbors as i always hire the neighborhood HS boys to shovel when they come by. i'd probably NOT ask any elderly neighbors, though. |

| Our listserve in Bethesda is full of college kids home on spring break and high school kids home for the day offering shoveling services. No reason you can't do it for neighbors. |

| A teen just posted on my community Facebook page. $25 to shovel snow. Not bad for a driveway and sidewalk. |

| Walk around with a shovel and tell people how much you're charging? You'll at least have? a nice walk, even if you don't get any business. |

I would pay $20-$25 without a second thought.
A particularly long/steep/difficult driveway and walk, charge $40. |

| My 10-year-old is out with the next-door 12-year-old and two shovels. They've been having a blast, and he's already made $15 off the neighbors on our block. |

They're motivated - if they want to spend money they need to make it first. I fund needs, they need to fund wants. |
