get rich quick schemes



-pyramid schemes
-Amway
-buying/ selling on the TCC forum
-selling miracle water on eBay
-flipping cars
-begging for change

From time to time I'll get an idea in my head that I think "yeah that will work". I still haven't tested any of my ideas yet... its a work in progress.

There was the one guy in Saskatchewan who kept trading things. He traded a paper-clip all the way up to a house. (You can search for that one online.)

so

what is your get-rich-quick idea?

(nothing illegal please)

the pyramids can actually make you an *** load of cash if you get in on the ground floor.

not really a scheme, but I would like to be a treasure hunter

You win 0 points for that answer.

I'm doing the post-secondary thing right now, so yeah, i'm on the slow an steady track to success.



Anyway, I think I've already found the new idea I was looking for.

flipping houses in the US. Bidding for Foreclosure loans.

If you win the bid, you put up the collateral money for X # of months while owner trys to pay off the bank, plus give you a huge surplus. If owner cannot pay, you get the house.

Not so quick, but still better than most is High Risk Stocks and Funds.

IE - Latin American funds +49 to ** over last few years..
