I don’t know. I haven’t tried that approach. But if you’ll pay for my place, food, the premium cable TV, utilities, insurance and such; I’ll fill you in on how I got rich as soon as it happens.

@ETpro You would have to move to Canada… we could be roomies.

You could inherit it from a rich uncle who didn’t know you personally.

Rent yourself out to a beauty school as a practice subject, or sit around in a gallery and call yourself performance art.

Trust me I’ve been trying this for years and it hasn’t worked one bit.

If that’s the lifestyle that appeals to you there is no point in being rich.

Inheritance?

@cookieman: I rang two days ago. You took your own sweet time.

The only acceptable excuse is that you were busy baking.

Work for NASA. They are currently advertising a job for someone to spend 3 months in bed and will happily pay to watch your body waste away.

Put $10 million in the bank and invest it at 1.5% APR. That will give you $150k per year.

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Haha….how simple a solution!

@Lightlyseared Do you get HBO and pop?

@ETpro You can not get passports In the us during the shutdown.

Mmmm…10 inch cookie.

ETpro's avatar

@talljasperman Guess you’ll just have to get a job then.

Or invent, build, and market something.

Take off all your clothes, drape a few bits in an embroidered Spanish shawl, lie on a fainting couch and hire yourself as a model for a live drawing class. Have a clause in your contract for bathroom and shower breaks.

Include a codicil for donating your cadaver to a local medical school in a few months.

Step 1. Inherit large amounts of capital.

Step 2. Let about 3–5 competent, well-respected financial advisors invest your assts.

Step 3. Occasionally get off the couch, but just long enough to sort through your incoming mail and read your brokerage statements.

As a alternatives for Step 1, you could rob a few banks, manufacturer and/or sell illegal substances, or invent something clever. But, those options all involve varying degrees of effort.

You could start your own religion and have followers tithe you 25% of their income..
