Technical Requirements

Your landscaper game must run on with no syntax errors
If there are errors you can't solve, comment them out and leave a comment above it explaining what is wrong

Hungry for More?

Add the ability to reset the game at any point so that you can play again
Make it so that a user can have multiple tools, and money earned each day is increased appropriately (e.g. 2 scissors, and an old-timey push lawnmower means you earn $60/day )
Once you've implemented multiple tools, make it so you can sell tools for half price
