Yeah. I was going to go with my time myself.

After reading through the other answers, I'm not sure of what to make of the fact that my first thought was coffee.

[–] Combativ@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago

My first thought was a local swimming pool. But infinite stocks would also be cool, I guess.

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If you spend a lot on coffee, you can save up a lot by the end of the year

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Stocks. Doest matter they do, it will be 100% profit when selling.

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Actually 🤓☝️ it's more like ∞% profit or undetermined

You got a stock that is low value and hard to sell on a company that doesn't seems stable.

Mortgage/rent. Fuckers have ruined the market completely refusing to build.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Why lower profits when you can cartel instead?

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Healthcare. I’d get so much done and settled to be honest

Alternative answer:

If I can get my money for nothing then I would like my checks for free.

Edit: It's actually "chicks" for free. Also the uncut version of this song is offensive like only something four decades old could be.

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

🤔 You mean like... Just getting money for free?

The yearly salary of the worlds highest paid person, bi-monthly.

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Free rent/mortgage if basic necessities are allowed. If not... a Michelin Inspector permit (and associated training courses), I do like some good culinary experiences

But, you can get sex for free... Or? At least through the apps. Just need to find someone up to it.

Brilliant idea, I must admit 😀

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly rapidly went through a bunch in my head, my first one was real estate, but then I was like.. "no, I'd need to get tenants in that fast cause that gets taxed separately, not just income tax", so then my backups were either gift cards, or lottery tickets :3

I ultimately went with the lottery cause it's less limited than gift cards, and even if they don't pay out all the time they have enough small payouts to get you hooked™ so at no cost even what would be putting me in the negatives irl would be profits in the hypothetical :3

And maybe if I make enough I can just hire people to check the tickets for me in the long(er) run hah

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

One never knows. It is still a good tactic you may get some cash here and there 😀

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ABA for my son with Autism as Ford is to busy lining his and his cronies pockets.

3 yrs waiting for the funding we have been authorized for. Never had therapy in his life because of it.

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do hope for you that the funding you are waiting for will come shortly, so that your son can get all he needs 🤞

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for your kind words.

[–] sixtoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Groceries. I'm so sick of the price gouging. Ketchup in my grocery store across the road was 6.99 a bottle yesterday. I did not buy any.

Either my council tax or my utility bills.
