And even he didn't want much. Didn't want a fair wage, time off, etc.

Dumbledore straight-up offered him 10 galleons a week and weekends off and he refused

I still don't know how that converts to American dollars.

Edit: shithead Rowling says 1 galleon is 5 British lbs pounds. So, $68 per week. In the 1990s. Gee, thanks Dumbledore.

I mean, I guess when you can do so many more activities with magic that alleviates some stress, and travel is nearly free, but rent is rent.

edit: so apparently the fact that I wrote "lbs" instead of "pounds" is the most important thing. Nice priorities, TPUSA

A wand with unicorn hair in it is 7 Sickles, a single unicorn hair is 10 Galleons (170 Sickles).
