I would kill flies for a dollar each! That's good money.
When I was a kid, my mom paid us to rake leaves by how many we bagged. We got a quarter a bag. My other friends were getting $15 bucks to do their whole yard. My mom got her yard raked for about a $1.50. She was so cheap. Once she said she would pay us a penny for every sign we read while she was driving because my sister and I were learning to read. In the first trip, I earned more than hundred pennies. She said never mind, this game is too expensive for her. She never paid up.
