Mental Excercise/Game - You have one month to make $5000

[Jeffrey Boudreau]

You have 1 month to make $5,000.

Here's the rules: You don't own a business and you're unemployed. You have no assets to sell and $100 on hand. You don't have a vehicle but can temporarily borrow one every other day temporarily (so no uber or food delivery). If you commit a crime you will be shot and killed.

What do you do?

[Scott Mac]

Borrow the $5k from a relative or friend.

Get a job and take as money months as needed to gt the $5k saved up (at least at the end you will not have zero anymore, and maybe another opportunity for that $5k comes along (if not continue accumulating cash until one does). The Tail does not Wag the dog.

Get a free grill on craigs list and some hot dogs and colas. Set up at the edge of an automobile junkard parking lot and sell Hot Dogs and cans of Soda from 6am to 9pm every day. Walk there on the days you can't drive, or sleep in a tent and call uber for delivery of needed items.

As your stock depletes refresh it. Mark it up to whatever the market will bear--will you hit $5,000 (and what about income tax--who knows--there are no guarantees in life). Make a handmade sign on posterboard and put it on top of your car behind you.

Good Luck!
