The secret to having enough money!

Howtomakeadollar has discovered the secret to having enough money.  Believe it or not, the secret comes from a well documented book and not from "the internet."

The secret contained in this brief sentence will set you free from the pain and suffering of "not having enough money."  No more wishing you had more, no more envying the amount of money other people make.  Finally, peace.  

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.  " - Ecclesiastes 5:10

Step by step plan to be satisfied with the amount of money you have
Step 1.  Do not love money
Step 2.  Repeat step 1

Malevolent Genies and You: Money-Making Opportunities for People Afflicted by Supernatural Beings

A good way to make money is to sue someone. Just find a person, a government, or a corporate entity that has somehow wronged you, file a lawsuit, and make millions. I'm sure you've heard about these lawsuits before, but maybe you don't have a victim mentality and have a hard time noticing if you have been wronged. Well, you can always keep track of a bunch of bad luck incidents and then sue a genie for it.

Yeah, a genie. One of those mythical, cartoonish, supernatural entities that live in lamps, grant wishes, and turn tenor-voiced insecure street kids into tenor-voiced insecure princes. Its true. A family in Saudi Arabia has filed a lawsuit against a genie. Supposedly the genie has told them to move out of their house, made strange noises at them, and thrown rocks at them.

You probably think I've made this up, but the BBC and the LA Times have both reported it, so if you can't trust Howtomakeadollar, maybe you can trust them.

Make money by doing something really annoying

Business plan:

1) go to crowded area
2) do something really really annoying
3) tell people you will stop doing above action for $1
4) keep going until you receive the money

It worked for this guy!!!!!

Save money by going to jail

It seems to me the perfect life would consist of free housing, free food, and free cable television.  The only place I know that provides all of these things for free is jail.  So, if you want the perfect life you must commit a crime.   Make sure it isn't anything serious... just something small that will get you thrown into a minimum security prison.  You could also pretend to be crazy.  I'm sure the crazy house wouldn't be too bad either... as long as you avoid the electric shock therapy.

So, if you want to live the perfect life... go to jail!  Simple.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Emily is the world's best baby
And no one else is even a maybe
She is funny and sweet and she likes to play
And she likes to chatter and giggle all day

When I get home from work she goes berserk
She giggles and wiggles and kicks her feet
She squeaks and bounces and smiles really sweet
She's fun to hold upside down
And she's the funniest baby in the whole town

She can talk and walk, but she prefers to crawl
She's so smart she knows the capital of Nepal
Her hair is growing and starting to curl
Because its June 10th, and now she's a big girl

Superman laptop sleeve protector

Howtomakeadollar's hottest item so far has been our custom laptop sleeve protectors.  It has been a smashing success.  We recently had an order for a 15 inch laptop protector from someone on the other side of the country.  We created a beautiful superman laptop sleeve protector for them.  We are still waiting on the rave reviews to come in.

Our profit margin still is not very high... considering it cost us $3 to ship the laptop sleeve protector, $2 for supplies, $8 for the tshirt, and 3 hours of labor.  We sold it for $19.99... so that works out to about ~$2 an hour.  But hey... PROFIT IS PROFIT!  We are working on streamlining our process and cutting back on costs.  We saved money on this laptop by going green!  

We shipped the item by reducing, reusing and recycling... well actually just reusing.  We used an old christmas box to ship the item.  This saved us about $2... or essentially 50% of our profit per hour of work.

  

If you would like to order your own... send us an email letting us know what kind and what size you want.  Since superman seems to be our biggest hit so far... here is another option we have for a superman  laptop sleeve protector...

We have an existing order for an ipad custom sleeve protector.  We will update you on the progress.  So order your own laptop sleeve protector or your own ipad sleeve protector today!
