"run out of money"? being retired, i don't compare what i do with those who might have to work for a living. this is strictly play money for me. whether or not i do the job isn't effecting my life one way or another. house is paid for, all vehicles paid for and we buy every thing with cash, so no credit bills what so ever. life is good here.
when i do odd jobs, ie: small remodels, i charge my rate what i was paid as a tool maker: $25/hour plus, but holding onto a lever hardly requires much cerebral work...right?
like i said, cash jobs are strictly my own play money and nothing more, so i won't be calling you for your "bunch of money".
