Any get rich quick ideas?

[Merrick]

So I'm tired of getting up and going to work every day like a shlub and am trying to think of some good get rich quick ideas so I can retire early (since my girlfriend stubbornly refuses to let me become her stay at home domestic engineer). What I've come up with so far:

- Put everything I've got on the Bears in the Superbowl (giving up the points I can triple my life savings)

- Dig up some good dirt on someone with lots of money and blackmail their rich ass

- Create a website about ninjas or pirates

Any other ideas? I really prefer to sleep in until noon.

1. Marriage

....to someone who's terminal and elderly with no children.

3. It helps if that person is wealthy, too.

;)

4. Oops

....meant to put that in there.

Worked for a former co-worker....

2. Win the lottery. Marry a millionaire. Discover something very valuable.

Just what that valuable thing might be, I have no idea. If I knew, I'd discover it.

5. Cyber Begging?

:shrug:

6. Set up a rwing foundation

soliciting donations from the gop base.

8. That's a good one

Something along the lines of nuking the ocean or the poor, or throwing the poor into the ocean, then nuking it along with all the godless whales.

7. Ask George W. Bush if he's got two tens for a five

Repeat until rich.

(this joke shamelessly stolen from David Letterman, who applied it to Dan Quayle back when Executive branch idiocy was merely a comic distraction rather than an international tragedy).

9. Invent and patent something

that no one can live without.



Y'know, like a cell phone ring tone.

:crazy:

11. How about a pet block of wood?

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. It's been done

But first, will you please, please welcome... a Block of Wood!







'Course, that one was a film star, not a pet. :shrug:

[Merrick]

10. Or how about writing a screenplay about urban kids who...

like to dance, or a zany road trip movie involving anthropomorphic animals that appear cute for a moment only to turn evil and attack the protragonist in a hilarious fashion.

[Orrex]

12. Or a sitcom about a fat guy with a hot wife

That riff never gets old.

14. Dear Friend: I am write to tell you of a situation that you help me, as

I am looking every here and there for a true and honest person. Allow me to introduce: I am my name, Esteemed Fitzwaldo, being the manager of the Nigerian National Bank and Lottery Company. Very recently died Mr. Richard Eire, a French national, unfortunately leaving an account of $300 million in the Bank without heirs ...

20. Forget it!

No way am I giving you any more money. Three times is enough!

15. buy houses and rent them out

let the rent pay the mortgage

[Merrick]

17. that takes too much capital

At best I could convert a roach motel into a roach apartment building

[barb162]

18. My friend buys them for nothing down from his bank

Usually foreclosures that the bank wants to dump. He does full mortgages and just has the rent pay the mortgage. He's become a multi-millionaire doing this.

[Oldtimeralso]

16. I have a friend that married a woman that made him....

a millionaire, he was a billionaire when he was single.

19. One dollar from every active DU member?

That should be good for a few...

Here's your first (adjusted of course)...

[petronius]

21. Funny you should ask! For the low low price of only $19.95 I will send you

everything you need to start your very own Million-dollar-making^* home business!!
