Facebook addiction is a tough habit to kick. But if you're brave enough to attempt a short break from the social media site, a little paper agreement might be a good idea -- just to be sure you don't cheat.
Boston-based Paul Baier signed a "Facebook Deactivation Agreement" with his 14-year-old daughter. The contract states that if she remains Facebook-free from Feb. 4 to June 26, 2013, Baier will pay her a total of $200. She's given him the password to her account, so he's changed it and deactivated it -- again, just to be sure.
There's a bit of a grace rule, though. It appears if she only lasts past April 15, Baier will still pay her $50.
Baier posted the photo on his blog Practical Sustainability.
His daughter's journey has only just begun, so we'll have to wait and see if she makes it. And as for what she plans to spend the reward on if she does succeed? "Stuff."
Would you stay off Facebook for nearly five months for $200?
