My 8 year old tried this on me for her allowance.
Try this on your boss....
Give up your salary in exchange for 1 cent per day, but double the salary for the next 30 days. See if they will bite.
Day 1 - 1 cent
Day 2 - 2 cents
Day 3 - 4 cents
Etc.....
Retirement is closer than you think
Do the math, it is amusing......
