I would set up a trust that automatically paid them out periodically. I would start with a relatively low amount, to see if money turned any of them into assholes, and if not I would turn it up. but, don't tell them that's what you're doing. firstly it won't work if they know you're watching, secondly, using money to control your friend's behavior is weird, which is why I don't like the idea of making them work for it either. you didn't work for it
That seems a bit too secretive for me...both because I would immediately start building a nice house and like you implied, playing puppetmaster like that feels shady.
If the "making them work for it" was in relation to my 1-hour a month salaried position, let me be clear that they wouldn't actually have to do any work. It'd just be to have a number on paper.
you're not puppeting anything. you aren't controlling their behavior if they don't know that there is a reward. I just want to avoid creating any entitled monsters
