Hypothetical scenario:

You have no source of income, no transportation, no phone, no home, no work history, no education, no friends/family; it's you, the shirt on your back, Ben, and four of his clones. What do you do to use it to make more money?

Interested to hear input.

Blackjack, I say. =P

Go to the hardware store, buy some plywood and nails, and build a kissing booth.

I'll be a millionaire in a few weeks.

^^ Let's then assume your morals won't allow it.

^ Pretty much.

but i have very loose morals and love sex

this simulation is incredibly unrealistic

but ok...

drug dealing seems to be out of the question...

i guess donating plasma and sperm would be a decent way to earn at least a few bucks...

Sell each clone for a dollar.


Then go buy a ham sandwich.

Bring Jesus back to life then he can split each 100 in half and make 200

^^^ Let's assume you have religious restrictions upon blood and semen usage, and/or you want to make significant money in a moderate amount of time by utilizing the $500.

Stand on the side of the road with a blank cardboard sign, because I've had no education thus won't know how to write.

Also I'd probably end up eating the money I do have once I get hungery, without education involving math/the value of money.

^^^^ Let's assume you hate ham.

^^^Let's assume you can't bring Jesus back.

Hey if all I had to my name was 500 bucks I would abandon all religous and moral convictions I had and start dealing

With my four dollars I would...


Buy a book on skills (Writing, reading, basic math.) and go from there.

^^^ Let's assume drugs killed your father and raped your mother, so you cannot deal and God Himself told you to do well with that money or wasps will get you.

^^ Let's assume you have the bare basics.[DOUBLEPOST=1387438683,1387438597][/DOUBLEPOST]^ Let's assume your voice breaks glass.
