Have you ever done the math to determine what you’re making hourly snow plowing?  Do you have customers (house driveways, business parking lots, etc.) or are you contracted by the state or township or someone to plow the roadways?

Municipal work. I work 40 hours a week Monday to Friday, and if there's weather, 8 hour shifts get extended by 4 hours. On call on weekends. Time and a half for overtime above the base 40 hours. 

A few years ago I worked over 70 hours one week. 

I get taxed big time on paychecks, but I get most of it back at tax time. 

I get a bit under 30$ an hour, 43 and change an hour for OT, and I get double time and a half on holidays like Christmas and New year's, that's 72$ an hour. 

And somehow I managed to bank more cash every year than we ever did working year round at a bank in Ottawa and living in a small townhouse, with no kids back then.
