Talk about housework with interest rates.
One Georgia woman, Jess Wright, has turned the age-old battle over chores into a profitable business model by charging her husband, DJ, cold hard cash every time he forgets to do his share. Forgetting to switch the car seats? That’ll be $50, mate. Leaving his clothes lying around? That’ll cost him too. In total, DJ’s monthly “chore bill” can reach up to $600. That’s a lot of avo toast.
No Chores? No Worries, Just Pay the Fine
Instead of nagging, Jess issues him proper invoices, as if she were running the Australian Tax Office. And the best part? He pays! No tantrums, no arguments, just straight to the bank transfer.
“Happy wife, happy life,” DJ says, presumably while folding the washing and checking his bank balance.
A New Spin On Cost-of-Living?
While the couple lives in the US, Aussies everywhere are now wondering: Should we be invoicing our partners too? Missed bin night? $20. Forgot to put the washing out? That’s $35 and a priority 1 rewash, that has to happen NOW.
Honestly, with this system, the real winner is Jess. Although they do say, peace at home is priceless… It’s gonna cost DJ, about $600 a month.
