I live in iowa so living here is very cheap in ames so for me I do not charge for most things except for appliance pick ups and if you only have 1 tv 10miles away then yes. I do not really think about future business on these types of things cause I live in a farm belt so I get tons lol tons of steel scrap this way for free. living here for what your making off the job pays most of my main bills like rent food phone and so on. as for making money wise even if I spent 5hrs doing this and only end up making $50 that's a good days work for me and fun since its summer. what I like most about jobs like this is people will offer you food drinks and such while your doing it and I love talking to people so for me to make money and have a good time its awesome.
