Default Re: who makes just min. wage?

There is a lot of marginal utility to pocket money, even if all of your needs (and more) are met. I can afford to give him everything he wants (within reason), and I could use him for things that have a lot more utility to me than the minimum wage he made, but working outside the house does develop good habits.

He also learned that he could do things that he enjoys, for more money, if he put forth some effort to find alternatives to the ushering job. Hopefully a lesson he carries with him.
