A different perspective

[Ahriman]

My dad offered me $20 to rake leaves in his yard. 20 dollars. Right. Offer me $2,000 and I would've done it.

This reminds me of a scene from The Sopranos (if you haven’t seen it, I have all the more reason to pity you).

Tony and Carmela have separated and teenaged AJ is staying with his dad. At breakfast, AJ is complaining about the breakfast cereal Tony bought him. Tony calmly picks up AJ’s bowl, pours it down the sink, smiles and says, ‘Now you got nuthin.’

$20 will buy three packs of cigarettes. Oh boy, I'm really a big spender now.
