Inflation is crazy!

There is one thing about living in an apartment I love:

In the summer, sweet little neighbor kids come banging on our door and ask if we would be willing to pay them to take our trash to the dumpster. 

Last year was the first time we experienced this and we were impressed!

These kids wanted a mere $.25 for each bag. What made this so impressive was that our last complex only had ONE dumpster. ONE! And it was literally on the farthest side of the complex from us. We never walked our bags all the way there. We loaded them up in the car and drove, if that gives you any idea of just how far that is. So when these kids came by we were excited!

Despite the joy of having our own garbage service, we could not stay in that apartment. Too many other problems (gun going off in the apartment above us at 3 am for example) and we had to move. We were really excited to see that not only did our new place have a BUNCH of dumpsters but one was right outside our door! No more smelly bags in the car!

Yesterday, we had a knock on the door and two sweet little girls asked if we would pay them to take our trash to the dumpster. My husband asked how much they would charge, not expecting it to be much since we could almost throw our trash out the window and make it in the dumpster. 

But instead it's like:

Because they wanted $2!!!!! Uh seriously?? Two bucks for what I have no issue doing myself? 

So you may be wondering what happened next:

We gave it too them because we are complete suckers... 

Spend it well little kids!
