In a video posted at mensarmor.com, the ring is hit with a big sledge hammer, driven over by a truck, used as a chain to tow a car, and blasted with a shotgun against a cement block. <a href="http://mensarmor.com/" target="_blank">The ring</a> stays in good shape throughout all the abuse.<br />

If you are on the market for a new wedding band, give the thing a look. The ring is stainless steel, and made to look like a high grade <a href="http://mensarmor.com/" target="_blank">nut or bolt </a>head. The site already has several positive comments from people who have worn the ring. It is certainly a revolutionary design that I've never seen before. Go have a look!howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-368199447094534242012-06-14T19:42:00.002-04:002013-02-23T13:55:48.505-05:00How to Make Billions of Dollars Without Paying any TaxesSome jerk who I have never associated with, and who is not in any way associated with any of the prestigious people who contribute to the Howtomakeadollar cause, recently wrote an article which claims that <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/labor_unions_are_not_dead_they_are_reloading.html" target="_blank">labor unions pay no taxes </a>in the United States. The jerk face clown author who I do not know says they are tax exempt 501(c)5 organizations and don't have to pay taxes. I don't personally believe it, simply because the government is ALWAYS trying to tax people more, and there is no way in the world they would let a whole category of organizations avoid taxes. You can read the no good bogus terrible piece of garbage racist war mongering thing by clicking on <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/labor_unions_are_not_dead_they_are_reloading.html" target="_blank">this wretched link</a>.<br />
<br />
Especially since they are so rich. Labor unions bring in billions of dollars every year, so I am absolutely certain that the government must be taxing them out the nose, because the government has spent the past three and a half years talking about <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0212/72363.html" target="_blank">taxing the rich</a> and so on. Well, if labor unions have so much money, then they must certainly be paying high taxes, so I don't believe whoever the guy was who said they don't pay any taxes.<br />
<br />
He also says they are allowed to monopolize entire sectors of the economy. No way that is true. Monopolies and trusts are bad. Then he said they are allowed to threaten and intimidate people without being prosecuted. That can't be true either.<br />
<br />
So anyway, if you want to make billions of dollars without paying taxes on it, I don't know what to tell you. That is illegal in the United States. Only a corrupt place like Russia or China would allow something like that to happen, so move there.<br />
<br />
A good way to make billions, though, whether taxed or not, would be to create an organization that takes money directly out of people's pay checks, and tells them that their business executives are evil and will stop paying them altogether, and you are only taking a small cut of the people's pay, and they should thank you for your great work. That would probably make you a couple bill.howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-62833230355628766062012-06-02T21:27:00.000-04:002012-06-03T00:19:40.429-04:00Dollar Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Several months ago, howtomakeadollar published a post about how to make money from selling the original dollar bill designed by Pablo Picasso. The wonderful blog post is <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/03/buy-pablo-picasso-signed-original.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you want to read it. This was one of our most successful and valuable sales. The masterpiece sold within several hours of the post being published.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks like someone out there doesn't think Pablo Picasso's dollar bill design isn't good enough. So they decided to make it "better." Below is an example of what they are doing to turn a dollar into a new masterpiece.</div>

So if you are a ridiculously famous artist, you should be able to easily doodle on a dollar bill, sign it, and then sell it for $2. 100% is a pretty good return on your investment. Worst case senario, you can take the $1 to McDonalds and buy ANY size drink. Or even better, you could take it to the bank and cash it in for <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/02/make-money-from-collecting-pennies.html" target="_blank">pennies</a>. <br />

</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I started dating Tom a few weeks ago, and things are <a href="http://www.askmen.com/dating/heidi_300/353_5-ways-to-reform-your-needy-girlfriend.html">going well</a>. It’s nice to finally meet someone I feel like I connect with after being single for so long. I was married once before, and after the divorce I needed some time to myself. I knew it was healthy to take some time, but I think I may have stayed out of the game for a little too long. I didn’t date for four years, and when I started dating again I didn’t know how to behave at all. Tom was married before so he understands where I’m coming from, which is comforting. We met when he came out to my house to connect my <a href="http://www.satellitestarinternet.com/hughes-net/">hughes net</a> satellite internet service. I know it’s not a traditional way to meet someone, but we knew we liked each other right away.

<br />
I logged onto and upgraded our television package. I was flipping through the channels and came across a movie that caught my eye. It had just started, so I started watching it. It was called “the Last Emperor”. It won an Oscar when it came out in the nineties. After watching it, I know why it won an Oscar. It was won of my top ten favorite movies. The movie is based on the story of China’s last dragon emperor who was born at the turn of the last century. He ended up being a dummy emperor. There were a lot of changes going on in China at the time when he took throne as a child at the age of three. By the time that he reached sixteen, he realized that he was confined to the Forbidden City and was not the actual ruler of China, China had become a Republic. It chronicles the emperor’s life from a young child to an old man. As a young man, he is driven from the Forbidden City. He makes some bad decisions and gets involved with the Japanese, which ultimately leads to a decade long prison sentence. He gets out when he is an old man. It is a great movie.howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-58003209184194968202011-11-22T10:29:00.001-05:002011-11-22T10:30:06.693-05:00Just How Much Is 15 Trillion?Check out this amazing article!!!

<br />
I have been watching college football for as long as I can remember. More specifically, I have been watching Georgia Bulldog football for as long as I can remember. If there was a game on any Saturday in the Fall, we were watching it. Now that I’m an alumna of The University of Georgia, I’m an even bigger fan. I used to go to every game in Athens, but I’m a little older now and that’s not as realistic as it used to be. I have the best intentions every season, that I’ll make it to every game, but responsibilities start piling up and before I know it, it’s fifteen minutes before kickoff and I’ve completely forgotten about the game. The great thing is, though, that with <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/">tvbydirect</a>, I can watch pretty much any game from the comfort of my own home. Most of the games are televised, and I can order the ones that aren’t. It’s normally a pretty nominal fee, especially considering the fact that if I weren’t able to order them I would be forced to go spend more money at a bar that is televising the game. I used to be really disappointed that I couldn’t go to Athens for every game, but I am getting more and more used to relaxing on my couch watching my beloved Bulldogs.howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-72792858974777073692011-09-06T21:24:00.000-04:002011-09-06T21:24:01.002-04:00Believe it or not, Blogsvertise keeps paying us moneySince being blacklisted from google's adsense program, we have been making money using Blogsvertise.

<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Guest post written by Lauren Guthrie</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Now that I'm a college sophomore, I know the ropes of dorm room living. I opted to not get a meal plan this year though because I'm going to do a fun little experiment with dorm room dining. I cooked a little bit in my dorm last year, but I never really planned ahead for it. I think that it would be a whole lot easier if I planned ahead and knew some really easy recipes.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Before classes start, I'm doing my share of research to figure out how to fix some really easy meals from the comfort of my dorm room. While I was doing that, I ran across the website <a href="http://www.clearwirelessinternet.net/">www.Clearwirelessinternet.net</a> and sent it over to my mom, who's been shopping around for a new internet service provider.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I've already found some great ideas for <a href="http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/2007/09/cheap-healthy-college-food-tips-for.html" title="dorm room dining site">dorm room dining</a>, including some creative sandwich ideas. More than just peanut butter and jelly. I think those simple recipes are really what I'm going to use the most rather than the ones that will involve venturing out to the hall kitchen.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

Especially if you are looking for a <a href="http://www.canadapost.ca/shopper/laptops/sc/138">HP laptop</a> check out the link. I recently switched to a laptop computer and it is great. You can take the laptop anywhere and they are really light weight. <br />
<br />
The website is a great place to compare different brands of computer including HP, acer, dell, toshiba, etc. The laptops can also be compared using their very convenient and helpful price filter that has a minimum and maximum price feature. <br />

I'm sorry for the long wait. Howtomakeadollar has learned a valuable lesson over the past 6 months.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Previously we blogged about how to have a successful blog by <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/01/make-money-by-having-friends.html">having friends</a>. Unfortunately, we did not specify how many friends you need. We have recently learned that you need at least 3 friends. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">3 friends = maximum money making potential</span></b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Howtomakeadollar is one friend short of what is needed for wild-world-wide success. One of our friends went missing and the other one has decided to vicariously run for president of the united states in 2012. Needless to say these two friends are unavailable to blog, thus the lack of blogging for the past 6 months. We are one friend short of keeping things going. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In the meantime, we will try and make 3 new friends to help us be successful. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

McDonald's has been sued for making their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants">coffee too hot</a>, making <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/mom-sue-mcdonalds-happy-meal-battle/story?id=12400445">kids want their happy meal toys</a> too much, and for <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,63698,00.html">making people fat</a>.

Since howtomakeadollar is in negotiations to be sponsored by McDonald's... we don't want to see McDonald's loose any lawsuits. But most likely we will get more money from winning a lawsuit against McDonald's than being sponsored by them.<br />
<br />
As regular McDonald's patrons, we have noticed a disturbing trend at McDonald's. McDonalds is trying to stay up on the competition (as if there is any... nothing can come close to McDonald's) by offering ice coffee drinks and smoothies. Many people seem to be enjoying these iced coffee drinks and smoothies. How do we know? Because it is SO RIDICULOUSLY LOUD!<br />
<br />
Seriously, the noise from the huge blender that grinds these drinks into a nice liquid form is unbelievable. <br />
<br />
So here's the plan...<br />
<br />

It is now less than two weeks away. Where has the year gone? Well, now that it is Christmas time... it is time to send out Christmas cards. Everyone loves Christmas cards! Especially all of your relatives you only get to see once or twice a year. Most people hang them on the refrigerator or display them on the wall. This is quite a lot of pressure... because you and your family will be up against all of the other picture perfect families. If you don't have a picture perfect family, its okay. <br />
Example of perfect family:<br />

One of our ideas... which we actually didn't blog about because we were working out the details of our idea... was to start a website called "whatwillyoudoforadollar." Kind of a long name and not very catchy... but the idea behind the website would be to have people post things they are willing to do for $1 and/or post things they are willing to pay people to do for $1. <br />
<br />
Well... it looks like this idea has been stolen from us! Somehow, even though we never blogged about it, someone found out about our idea and made it better. Sort of the like the <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/09/hippie-pothead-steals-idea-burns-toast.html">pot head guy and the jesus toaster</a>. The better/cooler/very well executed website that stole our idea is <a href="http://www.fiverr.com/">FIVERR.COM</a><br />

There are a lot of them. There's the <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/10/stolen-idea-not-very-good-anyway.html">lame, end of the world stolen idea</a>, the related, but not quite the same, <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/08/who-will-take-care-of-your-pets-when.html">MASSIVE SUPERNOVA DESTRUCTION Idea</a>, the <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/07/make-money-with-psychic-animals.html">Psychic Octopus Idea</a> (<a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/10/all-good-things-must-come-to-end.html">Idea over.

<br />
Well, here is another one: <a href="http://www.reargearstore.com/">http://www.reargearstore.com/</a><br />
<br />
Yep, its a store that sells butt covers for cats and dogs. I'm sorry. Its not butt covers. Its "rear gear." Sometimes you get an idea and you just know its pure gold from the start. This one appears to be brown gold. <br />

A "large" missile was recently launched just outside of Los Angeles California, and was seen streaking across the sky at sunset by millions of people. However, the U.S. Military has stated that they don't know anything about it, and it wasn't them. Nobody seems to know where it landed, or exactly where it was launched.<br />
<br />
<object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ysTDh6R9N8E&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ysTDh6R9N8E&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object><br />
<br />
This is the type of thing that the military is usually secretive about, and usually winds up saying it was a weather balloon. However, this time they are openly seeking out where it came from, and nobody has breached the "weather balloon" excuse. Probably because it was a missile and everybody knows it.<br />
<br />
Howtomakeadollar has already pointed out that <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/09/would-somebody-please-get-these-aliens.html">our missiles are in danger,</a> and need to be protected and watched carefully by intelligent and capable individuals.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in making money off this, just go locate where the missile landed, and sell it the military. I have a hunch they are interested in recovering it, wherever it came from.howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-82975295507729132742010-10-31T23:04:00.000-04:002010-10-31T23:04:40.650-04:00How to save $9 on Chipotle burritos on HalloweenEvery Halloween Chipotle does a promotion to get people to come and eat their yummy food. Last year, all you had to do was dress like a burrito (i.e. have at least one square inch of tin foil on you) and you got a free burrito! This year the theme was anti-processed food. Howtomakeadollar is not anti-processed food... in fact we support and love processed food! Without processed food we would all most likely be either dead by now or 50 pounds lighter. <br />
<br />
Instead of free burritos, Chipotle was selling $2 burritos. Thats an average savings of $4.50 per burrito. Not too bad! Howtomakeadollar dressed up like processed food and went to Chipotle. Some people didn't seem to get the memo that the theme had changed this year from dressing up like a burrito to being anti-processed food. Chipotle didn't care though. They were giving $2 burritos to everyone.<br />
<br />
Howtomakeadollar as I mentioned supports processed foods and by dressing up like one of our favorite processed food... we were able to advertise for one of our favorite restaurants while getting a $2 burrito. Our dressing up consisted of taping trash to a piece of paper and pinning it to our shirt. By the way, the McRib consumed for the purpose of making this costume was phenomenal!<br />
<br />

So next halloween, be sure to stop by Chipotle with some trash pinned to your shirt or a small piece of tinfoil and you will surely get a discounted burrito!<br />

I am sorry to tell you, that <a href="http://mashable.com/2010/10/26/paul-the-octopus-dies/">Paul the Octopus is dead</a>. <br />
<br />
So, Paul the Octopus is no longer a viable option to make money. Although, I have heard Michael Jackson is making a lot more money now that he's dead than he did when we was alive. So... who knows, maybe Paul the Octopus is still a good money maker.<br />

First, we <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2009/12/how-to-make-money-by-collecting-nickels.html">predicted nickel prices would go up</a>, and they did. Second, we clued you in to it and told you to <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/10/nickels-are-now-worth-more-than-nickels.html">get to work on your nickel collection. </a><br />
<br />
The obvious question at this point is how to cash in your nickels. There are several ways.<br />
<br />
<b>1. The Illegal Way</b><br />
It is<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/2006-12-14-melting-ban-usat_x.htm"> illegal to melt U.S. coinage.</a> However, in the future, its always possible that this law will be overturned. If metal prices ever go totally through the roof, like 25 cents for the metal in a nickel, then the government will surely overturn this law in order to increase the metal supply and reduce prices. So just keep your nickels until the law is overturned. Or, alternatively, you could just break the law and melt them yourself. I recommend putting them in your car and parking in the sun. That will probably melt them, but I don't really know how to go about cleaning them up later. Thats on you to figure out. The criminal mind will probably find a way.<br />
<br />
<b>2. By Exporting Them</b><br />
Another way to make money off nickels would be to export them to a country that doesn't care about U.S. laws, such as China or Venezuela. If you can find a way to get them to China without paying high shipping costs, this would work.<br />
<br />
<b>3. By Waiting for the Inevitable</b><br />
My guess is the Treasury will eventually start making nickels out of something cheaper such as zinc or aluminum. Look for it in the news, because it will probably happen sometime in the next year or two as inflation keeps increasing. Once the new cheap nickels are in circulation, the price of the originals will go up all the higher as collectors, melters, and weirdos like me start hoarding them all. They will also get bought up by China and other places that will melt them freely. This is your chance to sell them off to people who want them.<br />
<br />
<b>4. By Waiting for THE FINANCIAL CRISIS THAT ENDS ALL FINANCIAL CRISES</b><br />
If inflation gets too far out of control, the Federal Reserve will take the drastic step of hacking off zeros from all our bank accounts. Like I said, its a drastic step. However, if inflation really does go out of control, lopping off zeros is the only widely accepted solution, and its been done many times in the recent past. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_real#History">Brazil hacked off three zeros</a> in 1994 <i>and again <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">in </span></i>1998. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/aug/19/meldrum">Zimbabwe lost three zeros in 2006</a>. <a href="http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/catal/eng/newsheqel.htm">Israel knocked off 3 zeros </a>in 1985. <a href="http://www.allaboutturkey.com/ytllaw.htm">Turkey lost </a><i><a href="http://www.allaboutturkey.com/ytllaw.htm">six </a></i><a href="http://www.allaboutturkey.com/ytllaw.htm">zeros in 2004</a>. Like I said, its extremely drastic, but it is the widely accepted way of handling runaway hyperinflation. By "hacking off zeros," I mean dividing the value of paper money by 10, 100, or 1000 times. Inflation would have to increase significantly in order to warrant this kind of trick in the U.S., but in just the past 20 years a gallon of gas has gone from under $1 to around $3, and movie tickets have gone from under $5 to over 10. Don't even get me started on <a href="http://www.baseballfans.net/yankeemania/article.php?story=20080314071437130">baseball tickets</a>. So you can see that eventually such a step might be conceivable.<br />
<br />
If this happens, there would be a mandatory trade-in of all currency. However, in the examples above, only the paper currency is revalued, leaving coinage intact. Its much easier to demonetize your bank account electronically than to visit your house and hunt down your piggy bank. The government just assumes that people don't have more than a few pocketfuls of coins, so they leave you alone. Some freak with a basement full of nickels would get off pretty well in this situation. This has the effect of multiplying the value of coins while dividing the value of paper money. Your $10,000 savings account might only be worth $1,000 or $100, or 10, but your nickel would then be worth 50 cents, or $5 dollars, or $50. It sounds far fetched and drastic, but like I pointed out above, its happened several times in recent history, and there is no fundamental reason why it <i>couldn't </i>happen in the U.S. <i>If </i>such a thing happens, your $1,000 nickel collection would be worth $10,000, $100,000 or $1,000,000. If it gets as bad as Turkey, with six zeros being divided off, your $1,000 nickels would be worth $1,000,000,000. Yep, a billion. If it does happen, you can cash in simply by spending your coins as money like you currently do. The only difference is they would be worth 10 or 100 or 1000 times more. Then you can tell your grandkids about how you used to buy "penny candy" and get a haircut for 10 cents, like your grandparents tell you. Economics works in cycles.<br />
<br />
Again, let me say that this is an extremely unlikely scenario. First, inflation would have to go up massively before the Fed would even consider this. Second, the Fed would have to have the backbone to actually lop off everyone's bank accounts. The first step is somewhat conceivable, but the Fed growing a backbone is not.howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-44751085163504866062010-10-14T05:05:00.005-04:002010-10-14T05:05:00.783-04:00Nickels Are Now Worth More Than Nickels Are WorthA long time ago Howtomakeadollar suggested <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2009/12/how-to-make-money-by-collecting-nickels.html">collecting a bunch of nickels</a>, holding them until their metal value increased, and then selling them as metal. We stated this prediction clearly, and we personally guaranteed that nickel prices would go up, over 5 cents. Well, they did. On October 12, 2010, the metal <a href="http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1946-2007-Jefferson-Nickel-Value.html">value of a nickel went up to 6.104 cents,</a> meaning that the nickel in your pocket right now is worth more as metal than as money. And its actually worth quite a bit more. Right now the nickel in your pocket has made you just over 20% in profit, without you doing anything at all, except fishing around your pocket and smiling contentedly to yourself.<br />
<div><br />
<div><div>Since this awesome website is called How to Make a Dollar, I suggest you go <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/search/label/Clean%20out%20your%20car">clean out your car</a>, look for an old piggy bank, and check under your sofa cushions. See if you you can collect five dollars worth of nickels (100 nickels). If you can find $5 worth of nickels, you actually have <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/search/label/Six%20Dollar%20Ideas">$6 dollars</a>. Thats how you can make a dollar off money you already have, without doing any work or risking anything at all. Kind of cool huh?<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Well, a dollar is all well and good, but its not an inspiring amount. Thats why we suggested buying several thousand dollars worth of nickels. Going from five cents to six cents is a 20% gain. A twenty percent gain on $1,000 is $200. Does $200 sound like decent money? Its certainly better than a dollar. </div><div><br />
</div><div>But don't cash out now. Inflation is probably going to be a major theme in the world economy over the next several years. That means that metal prices are going to keep going up. Hold your nickels, collect more of them, and wait until they double up to10 cents in value. If you think that's far fetched, consider that in 2007 nickel prices were up over 7 cents, so its not a big stretch to think they could go higher in the future. A penny from before 1982 is now worth 2.5 cents, meaning it has more than doubled in value. Dimes made before 1965 are now worth $1.68. Nickels are following this trend as well. Right now they are up 20%, but they will eventually double in value at least.</div><div><br />
</div><div>In many ways this was the first "real" idea that we suggested, and we've suggested many other good ideas since then. However, this idea requires very little work on your part, and absolutely zero risk. Nickels are a completely <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/search/label/No%20Risk">risk-free investment</a>. Worst case scenario, you still have the same number of nickels and the same amount of money. You haven't lost anything. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Its easy to collect nickels. Just go to your bank and exchange $10 cash for $10 in nickels, or $20 for $20, or whatever. Of course, nickels get heavy when you start going up over $10 worth, so remember to bring a backpack or something, and don't try to buy like $100 (2,000 nickels) at a time. Also, the bank tellers will look at you like you are a crazy person, but you can always turn the tables on them and just look back at them like they are the crazy ones. That always gets them.</div></div></div></div>howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-41577732679061700062010-10-13T06:54:00.001-04:002010-11-14T19:53:11.619-05:00Stolen Idea Not Very Good AnywayA while back Howtomakeadollar rocked the insurance market with extremely <a href="http://www.howtomakeadollar.com/2010/08/who-will-take-care-of-your-pets-when.html">low priced supernova insurance for pets</a>. Our policies are still available, and cover the next 5 billion years, so its not too late to buy your policy now.<br />
<br />
Well, when you have a great idea, and when the market reacts favorably to it, its inevitable that copycats will come along and try to make a buck off your original idea by tweaking it a little bit. Recently we found out about an insurance company that claims to take care of your pets if you are a Christian, and the rapture happens, and you go to heaven all of a sudden and there is nobody left to take care of your pets. You can read about this company at <a href="http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com/Home_Page.html">eternalearthbound.com</a>. To the best of my knowledge it is a real company.<br />
<br />
Its real, but its not spectacular. The company claims that in the event of the rapture, an atheist will come along and grab your cat and dog and go take care of them for you, so you can live in eternal peace and joy in heaven without worrying about Muffy and Scruffy back home, while planet Earth rapidly descends into pestilence, war, famine, and death. Policies cost $110 and expire after 10 years.<br />
<br />
I'm sure* there are some people who think this is a great deal, and have already ran out and purchased a bunch of policies.<br />
<br />
*<i>By "sure" I mean that it is theoretically possible that in some hypothetical situation, under the right circumstances, with enough alcohol, and having recently read the book of Ezekiel, that a person might come under the impression that this is a worthy investment of their $110.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
But you need to think about this before you buy it. First, atheists don't believe the rapture is ever going to happen in the first place. So they are collecting your $110 without any plans to actually honor their commitment. Secondly, atheists hate animals. I know, the website says all the atheists are "animal lovers." But thats not true. Really, its not.<br />
<br />
The Soviet Union was the most atheistic society that ever existed on a wide scale. So its a good test tube for how atheists actually behave when left to themselves without any transcendent moral guidelines. Most estimates show that at least 30 million people were killed without a trial in the Soviet Union. Even more, up to 100 million, were sent to <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=6XCUeU3soM4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=gulag+archipelago&hl=en&ei=KKGzTMy7I4L68AbN5LieCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false">frozen work camps in Siberia </a>without a trial, where they dug holes in the tundra all day, and filled them in the next day.<br />
<br />
How do you think their pets fared during this time? Not too good. Many people believe there were over one million stray, starving dogs roaming Moscow limping and covered in fleas during this time. Atheism is hard on animals, just like it is on people. After all, <a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quote/3396/">if there is no God, everything is permitted.</a> Are those the people you want to pay money to take care of your pets?<br />
<br />
Now, what about happy, friendly, animal loving atheists in the USA? They don't act like the Soviets do they? Well, no, not now they don't, but right now they are surrounded by a world that doesn't tolerate that kind of behavior. Put them in a society by themselves, and you get the Soviets. And wait until the tribulation starts, and massive epidemics spread around the world, followed by famine and war. Do you think an atheist is going to feel like honoring an old commitment to rescue your pet? -- A commitment he never believed he would have to honor in the first place? Commitments like that are rarely honored during good times. Do you think the atheists are going to make an effort to feed your cat in the midst of a worldwide famine?howtomakeadollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15773537517774392822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368702621762955924.post-22107908586236897962010-10-12T08:00:00.001-04:002010-10-12T09:16:25.285-04:00Worlds Best Paper AirplaneHowtomakeadollar has officially invented the world's best paper airplane!
