" The way American people have been able to keep up through a hundred years of rising prices is a hundred years of rising wages. "

Just had lunch with some folks who reminisced about their early teens, the ladies remembered earning .25 cents an hour for babysitting.

High school, I pumped gas for $1.15/hr. (Texaco- you can trust your car to the kid who wears a star))) plus a nickel commission per quart of oil I sold. I probably floated a few engine valves for people who prolly didn't need that quart.

What's a babysitter earn these days?

We pay our dog sitter $50/night.
