Subject: Paying 13yo neighbor to water flowers for two weeks?
I just did this for a small garden - I paid $50 for two weeks. She also dealt with our trash cans for pickup.
I didn't think it was fair to base it on visits, since the number of times would depend on the weather.

(Appreciate the heads-up that this is an old thread.)
I think a lot of us fall into the trap of thinking "I would've done this for $2 a day when I was that age," but $2 back then isn't the same now.
If you're 38 years old, you were born in 1985. $1 then is equivalent in purchasing power to $2.84 now, because it has lost 65% of its purchasing power due to inflation. So $2 then would be $5.68 now.

$2 now is equivalent to 70 cents back then.

Someone does a search and doesn't notice the date. Bad UX on website.
