What’s your get-rich quick scheme?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Oh come on….do tell!
Almost everyone has a dream or fast scheme that will instantly make them overnight sensations.
Have any hair brained ideas about getting rich quick? Sick of working for Corporate American and have a plan to fly solo?
What your all-time goal in order to actually stop working so hard? Spill your strategy or do you just desperately want to win the lottery so you can quit your job?

Man, I would quit right away if I won a few million in the lottery. I have better things to do rather than work. I would travel, drink champagne and help poor people in this country!

I’ve got all my money in pumpkin futures. I’ve got a feeling that they’re going to peak right around January.

Why wait to be rich? If you “would travel, drink champagne and help poor people in this country”, then why not get a job with Dept. of Commerce or some other firm that does that, or maybe just within the travel industry? Then you’d be making enough to buy your champagne, too.

My husband plays the lottery enough for the both of us, so that’s covered. My passion is writing… music, books and screenplays. I would love to sell a movie or one of my songs. I’ll take a million up front and 1% of the dvd rental/sales, then I’d have extra time and money to write more and work with habitat for humanity too. That’s my dream/scheme.

My ‘plan’ (not scheme…adds some diginity to the situation) is to finally get published (working on it!!!! )
Or the lottery. But I don’t play. Guess I can’t win.

I will run for President of the United States, and win. I will start senseless wars and embezzle some of the money. I will become a instant millionair. I will have all of my associates cover up my trail.

The biggest quick rich scheme is anything dealing with religion. Religion is the biggest pimp game in the south….AND IT’S LEGAL! Another legal way for women to get rich quick is to marry an old man with money. Men get real stupid as they age. Since I moved to Atlanta 5yrs ago, I cannot believe how many old wealthy men have approached me. Fortunately I like to work and have always taken care of myself. If I was one of these lazy women who didn’t care anything about working or sleeping with elderly men, I would be rich.

I am in the second year of a ten year plan that will help mankind minimize it impacts on our natural world and it should produce considerable revenue. I will selectively share that revenue with charitable organizations I believe to be much more effective than government. Of course I will pay unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Once I have accumulated enough money I am moving the heck out of this country before it becomes a bunch of sniveling sissies standing around the government trough voting for who will provide them with more financial security and afraid to leave that trough to confront gathering global threats. At least in the other country my family probably won’t be the target of those gathering threats.
When I get to my new home country I am going to tell them how government reliance kills individual industriousness and political correctness silences constructive criticism.

No, but I know how to get poor quickly: Get laid off for an extended period of time. That is a very good way to get rid of both your emergency funds AND a large portion of that nest egg you thought was so safe… :-(

First get a million dollars. Then go to the US Patent Office and get a patent on oxygen. Everyone has to have it and they will pay you royalties of stop breathing.

My “get-rich scheme” would be to send all the blacks back to Africa and all the browns back to their third world countries, so that I could then keep most of my tax money that is spent on these “free-loading,lazy b*******’ who occupy most of the prison and welfare systems.

To break into someone’s house while they are home and rob them blind.
No, that is not at all mine, just wanted to broach the subject and there is not a blog for it. But obviously this is the get rich quick scheme of many hoodlums around the Atlanta area. I’m really growing sick of this sad phenomena. So..throw acid on the victims now?? I feel sorry for the one(s) who decide to break in my house, especially if we are there.

I would become the mayor of Atlanta. Why would I need money when I can just use Fulton County taxpayers? I will eat and travel wherever I please, and I am above the law so I will never get into trouble for my illegal practices.Just put it on my ciry of Atlanta card. Didn’t you know you pay for me to drink 83 Bordeaux every night, not for city planning or public transportation. Make me mayor; make me invincible.

To Nick:
Where would we send all of the white people? You have nowhere to go. You have been kicked out of every civilized nation. You stole this one and you are doing a horrible job maintaining it. If these other countries called in the debts owed to them by the US, we would be bankrupt. Take an economics class ignoramus.
