Does It Pay

Trade-Offs Season 1 Episode 7

Overview:
Bobby dreams of buying his first car, but his slow lawn‑mowing business forces him to confront a tough choice: keep saving or invest in a power mower to boost productivity. As he weighs risks, costs, and opportunity loss—“with the hand mower Bobby and Oscar could do four lawns a week… with a power mower they could do ten”—he learns how capital goods can speed up earnings but require real sacrifice. The episode explores the economic trade‑offs behind investing, borrowing, and giving up something now to gain more later.
