Get Rich Quick Schemes

[Seonaid]

Yeah, but the BEST best plan is to get some other people to do it and then pay them little tiny bits of the treasure. That way, you aren't risking your precious self.

Also, just so anyone thinking about it knows, if anyone decides this is the perfect venue for their personal make money fast pitch--

Don't. Thready go closey, and postey get deletey. Quickey.

Are you sure? Because I just spent the day whipping up a fresh batch of real, honest to goodness, Cure Light Wounds potions. Really! And I was going to sell them here on EN World. I think of it as helping people out, not as anything so crass as a commercial venture. I only ask a little remuneration to cover my production costs.

Henry, you've simply ruined my day.

To put it another way, if you stumbled on a way to always win at Blackjack, and it really worked, would you sell a book on how to do it, or would you hop the first plane to Vegas?

Like the two are mutually exclusive? Why not hop a plane to Vegas, play until you've won so much that nobody will let you play, then squeeze some more bucks out of the thing by selling the book?

the local joke goes-

a farmer wins the lottery. when confronted by the local press they ask what he will do. the farmer says "i reckon i will just keep farming till it is all gone."

same for pottery


(no offense to henrry, i figure this doesn't count as a scheme to follow)

Especially since the individual in question will quickly find himself banned from every Casino in the city if his system is as fool proof as he thinks it is.

I know who Umbran is talking about, and those MIT boys really knew their . And the funniest part was, what they did (the card counting)... was perfectly legal, even down to the different disguises used.

The casinos got wise, and I don't blame them for denying that ring of guys after all that stuff went down... but I also have to hand it to the MIT guys.

There's a sucker born every minute.

And two to fleece him.

Some things are always true...

The vast majority of people who win the lottery are broke within 10 years, they rarely have anything to show for it except fond memories of all the stuff they did. There is a big misconception right off the bat about what being rich means, having a million dollars doesn't make you rich having 100 million might but if you look at all those super rich people they are either work-a-holics or the heirs of work-a-holics. The moral here is that there is no such thing as "get rich quick", you got to get out there and work at it (even hustling people is hard work, I know my Uncle does it). You want a get rich scheme here I'll give you one for free, work your butt off to get enough money to invest in something, research it to death until you are 100% sure of how it works and then spend the next several years of your life working 80 hours a week to make it work, by the time your ready to retire you might actually get to. The guy with the government grants, well most of those are for starting your own buisness, they aren't just giving you money they are helping you start something you will have to work at, the real estate guys, you can do that without a book, you get out and buy and sell real estate, it requires you to A. know real estate values and B. know how the real estate system works, go out and do some research, it''s cheaper than buying their books and videos and you still have to work your butt off either way. Anybody can get rich if they are willing to put in the time and effort, my father makes lots of money, but he gets mad if he can only work 7 12's (he prefers a 90+ hour work week).

Rule one: There is no such thing as easy money.
There is no rule two, even for people who win the lottery, if they don't put in the work to figure out how not to loose the money then they will.
