Wait so 5. gives me effectively infinite money?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I know right? You show up and be like "One mansion, please" and the realtor says something like "sure, our cheapest one is $2M".

So you reach into your pocket and out comes the exact change of $2m! Bust is it

No; not infinite.

Limitless yes, but it is limited by the fact that it only fills your pocket when you're expected to pay for something. Therefore you'd be inconvenienced by anything that does not expect you to pay up front cash for a thing, and you'd need someone to tell you the exact amount you need to pay them to cause the pocket to generate the cash as well as the amount would be limited by the size of your pocket(s) and/or purse(s) for containing money.

Despite that you could definitely live "comfortably".

ETA: My picks are 3 & 4.

  1. Open a new checking account with a debit card

  2. The account is always at a $0.01 balance

  3. Keep this card in its own specific pocket

Now anytime you go to buy something, the exact amount will be deposited into the account and immediately withdrawn for said purchase.

Congratulations, literally everything costs a single penny.

Implement the selling of items, the transfers to alternate accounts, etc., and you can create infinite money.

Let's do some fun math!

If we assume you always have a dollar in your pocket and that it takes around 3 seconds to grab them from your pocket.

For one year (8766 hours or 31,557,600 seconds) you will have 10,519,200 dollars. Assuming you don't stop while eating for example and also you don't sleep.

Elon Musk's net worth is around 250 billion dollars (250,000,000,000). You will need 23,766 years of non-stop pulling bills to reach him.

Thats not how it was said. It said you had the exact change anytime. So If you buy something for 4 mill you get 4mill. If you buy sum for 1.59 you get that
