I don't get it frens, why do people think less of me because I like to MOW.

I have no boss, I can listen to music all day using the weed wacker to straighten the edges on a lawn and mow. I get to drive around my city mowing lawns in my ute listening to anime songs. It's not like it is hard to push a mower, especially considering my mower is self propelled so I am just walking behind it and turning it around when I have to.

It's not that risky either, I mean if I mess up a customers job and they are mad I can either fix it up for them in 5 minutes of work or they just drop me and I get a new customer.

I am just gunna keep mowing, I don't know how else to live in a way where I can work 18 hours a week and live well and have no boss.

How much you charge for a lawn?

>> No.23638407

>>23638392
Around 40-70 depending on the size of the lawn and if they are paying in cash or direct deposit.

A $50 lawn would take me around half a hour to whip, blow and mow by myself.

of course there is equipment costs and maintenance on my Ute. However I can maintain these things by myself for the most part so I can keep costs down lol. And these costs get deducted from my taxes.

Now I understand why all mexicans are going to Cali, rich people are generous as fuck if this is true.
50 dollars is a shitton of money for something so small.
Where do you live, what city, how rich/well known are your parents, do you have connection to your clients (did they know you prior to hiring you) and did you do much marketing?
Because it seems like any immigrant or underage would do what you're doing for 10% of this sum

you must be under 12, no one is paying 50$ for service their kids will do for free. Only billionairewith serious dementia, but even they value money

I think anons earnings are legit, but she probably works as a prostitute. This way money (50$ a pop) and time (half an hour) match. You could also say she's a gardener, but then either charges way less than 50$, more like 5$, or spends multiple hours instead of theoretical ~30minutes.

Yeah I'm sure your making $400 a day.. and Christmas is tomorrow. People that have small lawns don't hire anyone and almost all of them have a lawnmower and they do it on their own. People with large properties hire a landscaping company with 2 x 3 mexicans, and they do other things as well. How are people believing even this? Does OP even posted a picture of his lawnmower..

Or because they're like me; a well established black man who is too busy to go and cut the lawn at his parents house, so he specifically pays white people to do it, while giving his older parents the opportunity to belittle and castigate the dirty, smelly whiteys who honestly do great work, but have earned the malicious tongue from the people they once thought themselves better than.

Landscape Chad's are so easily riled up, and their caveman faces get so red and ugly when black senior citizens call them idiots who fuck up even the most menial of jobs.

Listen youre all shitting on op
I clean pools

12k per month
Without all the chemical etc. upselling and repairs which I charge $100 ph
A filter change takes 6 - 8 hours
A pump replacement 2 - 3 hours
I charge for call outs to assess, I charge more if their pool is extra dirty that week
Building and retaining clients is hard. Scaling up is even harder. People do shitty jobs cleaning pools.

Not at all you get some flirting but its normally so they can get something from you. Lots of teenage daughters give you the eye, giggle with friends. But t b h I have work to do, I dont stick around long enough to build up such a rapore that they'd be dragging me into a pool room to fuck. And there are cameras everywhere. Most women in wealthy homes are smart enough to know that they dont fuck it up by sleeping with the pool guy.
