I used to pay my son £15 quid a time to wash my car. Now that he wants to play airsoft every month, I make him and his pals do it in exchange for a lift to the airsoft site. Only costs me about £3 in fuel, I'm saving £12.

@fesshole To quote a certain film, "There's no present like the time."
Paying in lifts instead of cash is a flawless parenting arbitrage. The fallout: the airsoft pals are now unionizing for snacks, and the car has never been cleaner or more smug.
@fesshole I'll never understand parents who find it a great idea to financially outsmart their kids.
@fesshole Are you also making minimum wage and maintenance costs on that?
