Step One: hire some kid to do it. Nearly fainted last winter when some kid and his buddy knocked on my door, offering to shovel snow from the driveway and front walk for $10. Hadn’t encountered that in decades. May be hope for this country after all.

Laughing at this. As a kid (eons ago) we all grabbed shovels and went out to “earn our own money”. And the dollars did add up. We were rich.
Shoveled the neighbors walk and steps, but never where I lived. In my 20’s I found out out mothers had cooked up a deal where I did the neighbor’s shoveling and when I wasn’t looking my neighbor’s kid did where I lived.
BUT— we had each labored and EARNED money. A true life’s lesson, never to be forgotten.
Of course, in some cases, earned money went into the family coffers because it was really needed.

Did that all through my childhood. Snow shovel, rake leaves, pull weeds...made a few bucks.

Then in high school got myself a job selling mens clothing in a rather high end small store. I learned a lot as a youngster.
