    Talking He wants to get rich...

    One morning, Michel, the hero of the story, wakes up very tired. He realizes he has been living a miserable life and has more past than future. He is in panic and wants to recover his life's lost time and live the "good life" He decides to get rich but doesnt know how...

    I suggested him to

    search a rich woman for marriage
    or launch his own distro
    or buy shares in a sex productions company
    or ...

    Any suggestions ?
    He thanks you in advance

    Is this supposed to be a coffee lounge game?

    Alright, I'll play


    Buy oil... seriously, buy oil (well... I don't, but I don't need to get rich)

    Find value in leisure,
    cut expenses and work less (live the GOOD life!)


    Find a foreign bank to mortgage ( <= is that how you write it? My spell checker seems to think so but it scans wrong) your house whilst selling it and make a run for it. Two times the value of your house in hard cash can take you a long way in the pacific.

    How about creating his own religion (or sect) and charge a bit his followers?
    He can even have gains from donations or speeches

    Well if Michel wants to go down that lane, he shouldn't forget the merchandise possibilities

    No religion without merchandise... Michel candles, Michel incense, Michel soap (a clean mind in a clean body), Michel's Collectible set of Miniature Prophets... the whole line of course includes t-shirts and coffee mugs.
    I see book signings, I see movie deals, I even see tax reduction on it all because it's a Good Cause

    Wow, a real business all these things. Michel is in deep reflexion... the problem is that where he lives (France) the religion is not a good market. People are generally indifferent and laws about sects very strict. He is afraid he will have the same sort as his compatriot Claude Vorilhon (alias Rael) who had to be expatriated in order to teach his Truth. No, this will be the last choice to his problem...

    He is thinking now of buying a university degree on the web and become expert in some domain, or launch a casino online or maybe an astrology tv channel...
    He is at full brainstorming right now....

    michael should sell everything, buy a campervan and tour the world.
    then write his memoirs and get them published. and live off the proceeds and after-dinner speaking

    First of all the word 'rich' needs to be defined in terms of quantities (i.e., Have a billion dollars in cash.) or put in context (i.e., A person full of blessings and gifts.)

    A guy or a girl that makes enough money to pay his/her bills and enjoy life can be considered 'rich' depending on your standard. Anyway, before a moderator gets bored with this reply, I think Michel should think about having a spiritual life full of meaning and contributions so that he'll feel satisfied with his legacy...

    Boy... This threads are dangerous because of replies like mine...

    Michel hasn't learned much if all he wants to do is get rich. 'The good life' isn't about that really.

    Along with that I see Michel rarities like statues of deities that cry REAL blood. IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

    I saw Michel today and we were talking about spiritual wealth and the similar. Michel is bored of all those philosophies that poor men invented in order to survive psychologically because they dont have money.

    He doesnt want to work for the man anymore. He hates orders and deadlines. He believes that working is not compatible with the human nature. This cult about working is a big lie: you couldnt solve your financial problem and you work for someone who could; that's all.
    Michel told me that has decided to get rich. He will work because he cannot do otherwise but this time it will be for himself and on a gainful project and as for the spiritual wealth...it is not poor men's copyright.


    PS I think that he will get either rich or crazy finally
