Money for chores

My two kids are age 2 and 4. Tonight, to have some fun, I cut up some paper and draw some money symbols on them so they could pretend they had money. They immediately started cleaning up to say they were "doing work" and "earning money". And they cleaned up far better than they've ever done even pushing the sofa away to get the toys sitting underneath.

There's probably a topic here about raising kids and motivation. How it goes yet, I do not know -- I have stats on class mobility and a germ of an idea but where the direction goes is to be decided.
