Page 2 - making free money (not a junk mail post)

I have a scheme that will make some easy money.

If each of you will send me $100, I'll post again later and let you know how well it worked.

PS - Always remember, you can marry more money in 5 minutes than you can make in a lifetime. Unfortunately this kind of money sometimes doesn't fall under either the "free" or "easy" category.

y do i get the feeling this thread hasnt really worked?

I just thought of something... if this guy says that the worst day sailing is better than a good day at work, and his job is sailing, then wouldn't that also mean that his worst day at work is better than a good day sailing?

Anyhow, if you're REALLY interested in buying a house and renting it out, then maybe you should try the "slum lord" approach: buy a crappy house in a bad area at an auction or other reduced-sales venue, then rent the place at slightly under the price of the other low-rent houses in the poverty-stricken location (the lower rent will, however, attract the lowest dregs who will probably pimp or sell crack out of your house before skipping out or getting arrested before the lease is up), then just sit back and collect any rent while spending low to nothing on maintenance. I think that's how Jabba the Hutt made his millions.

"Wanna tell you a story
bout the house rent blues
I come home one Friday
had to tell the landlady I done lost my job
she said that don't confront me, long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
and out the door I went"

lol, all that just for us

Yeah, I had to go back and edit some of it, too; so you should feel really special. I think I'll go sailing now.

How about all of us sign up for that "Earn money while surfing thing", into a joint account. Ill set it up and run it (the account)

A good way of making money is writing nonsensial books about geeks and their ways of thinking, with examples like the one above. Although there is some work (aaarrgh!) involved in that it shouldn't be too difficult for ppl who can write 10.000+ lines programs. And it's clean and legal
