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.

Fixed that for ya.

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...

^^^ 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 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.
