My father and his father before him who ran businesses their whole lives gave each sibling a set of 10 things all of us really wanted. Told us to set-up "stores" and barter/ trade them but to do our best to get everything we want without a fight. We did this many times growing up, then he had us run yard sales as teens and gave us all 100$ to buy and sell things as older teens. The first sibling to turn the 100$ into 1000$ got a car. Two of us own businesses now. I own 3 and 2 are highly successful.
