I am torn by this comment. The Internet says we take something like 20,000 breaths a day which is $1000 a day. Like you said that is plenty of money and you will collect it until the day you die.

On the other hand walking 10k steps a day is 1.5x that, and I get on average more than 10k steps a day, but I don't make money while I am asleep or if I am on a cruise or a plane, or if I hurt myself and can no longer walk.

Maybe what id do is take the steps, run enough in a couple months to have a sizeable seed investment and then put it in the market and then just live. Never look at or care about additional my walking money and just live my life like I want.

That's the correct answer. Get in shape, invest that money, then live as you want. Breathing forces a passive income that you can't take as much advantage of.

What will you do when you get old?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Live off investments, the same exact thing I'd do within a year or two of getting the step superpower. You can become a multimillionaire easily with steps within a year, save up enough and you can live extremely comfortably forever, with far more money than just breathing can get you mathematically.

It really is simple. You can get far more money far faster with steps, so do that, build up the nest egg, then you've won the game of life. If you do breathing, you can't get nearly as much money.

You can then run purely to raise money for charity, strike funds, whatever you want. You stop running to earn more for yourself and it becomes volunteer work. It keeps you in shape and healthy for longer.

Haha what a deep thought experiment from a shitpost

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its really just the same financial strategy everyone is already trying to reach, just far easier, haha.

True! The only way to not be a wage slave is to have enough investment income to live off of. I am never gonna get there unless I start playing the lottery but it is fun to wish for.
