10 Times His Wages Were Changed and Yet He Still Comes Out Ahead!?!

Phase 1- Jacob flees to his Uncle Laban hundreds of miles 
away in Paddan Aram to escape the murderous grudge of his 
brother Esau. Jacob flees with no notable possessions.
Phase 2- Jacob agrees to work seven years for Laban's daughter
 Rachel. He's tricked after seven years and is given her sister
 Leah instead. 
Phase 3- Laban offers Rachel for seven more years of labour!!
Phase 4- Jacob marries Rachel as well.  Jacob tells Laban that for his wages he will merely take the speckled, spotted, and streaked lambs and goats from Laban's flocks as his wages. Laban immediately combs his entire herd and hides his speckled lambs and goats three days journey from Jacob. 
Phase 5- Jacob begins to initiate a breeding program in which speckled and spotted sheep are more likely to be born.

 (The LORD God actually pulls this off through favorable
 reproduction). During this time Laban repeatedly countermands his agreement with Jacob, wanting to keep the spotted sheep for himself!
Phase 6- The LORD sees how Laban as treated Jacob and does not forget him. 
Phase 7- The LORD orders Jacob to return to the land of Canaan where his father Isaac dwells and to the land God swore to his grandfather Abraham that he would give him. 
Phase 8- Jacob leaves Paddan Aram "exceedingly prosperous" as the Bible states it with menservants, maidservants, large flocks, donkeys, and camels. 
Phase 9- Laban confronts Jacob and is furious, though he does nothing because God told him to be careful not to say anything to Jacob whether good or bad. Jacob accuses Laban of changing his wages 10 times in 20 years of service! The two men swear an oath of peace and neutrality and Jacob continues to prosper because of the favor of the LORD God. 
These dramatic turn of events can be read in their entirety in Genesis 28-31.
