    I don’t really care what makes more money, id just take the walking one to incentivise me to walk more. id rather be healthy than slightly richer

      You only need 4-5k steps a day for it to be more money, which is pretty doable for most people. Of course, that would make getting your 10k steps in per day worth about $300k excess, which is a pretty compelling incentive

        How are we even defining steps? If I shuffle around my living room like a penguin for a minute, do I earn $20?

        As you accumulate more money the personal value decreases and the incentive is gone. Which is the root of money addition. Once you make decent money you need more money to get your dopamine hit.

        With the passive breathing income you can just automatically give to charity when you get to a certain amount. Stop caring and thinking about money and do whatever you feel like. Do the sport you like because you like doing it. Its the best kind of incentive.

            Like i said doing something you like is the best motivation you’ll ever need. The biggest benefit id receive from a magic deal like this is that I could stop having to consider money even exists and that to me is heaven.

            And when i get old i may no longer be able to walk but as long as i live i will breath.

              You can do that with steps, though. You get in shape for a year and you invest that money, then boom. Free money for the rest of your life, without worry, plus the ability to make a ton of money quickly if you wanted. You can’t do that with breaths.

                I dont think you get my point. I want to live like money doesnt exist the last thing il spend thinking about on is investing.

                Breathing is passive income and i am no big spender, its more then il ever need or Earn in real life. Plenty if for some unthinkable reason i want to play adventure capitalist irl.

                I’ll Just build a system that any money over half a million (takes less then 2 years with just breathing) gets forwarded to my favorite charities and and then il get fit doing whatever sport i fancy.

                Why would i want more money quickly lol? Looks Like your already addicted. Once you make enough money people get obsessed with “making” more. Either the money did not exist and your causing inflation or it did already exist and your just a middle man. Whats the point?

                  You don’t have to think about investing. You can just buy a broad market ETF and you’re done, you take the distributions and you have stable income for the rest of your life even if you don’t take another step.

                  Breathing is exclusively passive, meaning if there’s a big emergency, you can’t make more money. You have to be far more careful about budgeting than you would if you had the big investment from steps.

                  Following, you can run for charity if you want. Donate to good causes and gain fulfillment. The breathing option requires you to budget for this, while the step option doesn’t.

                    How much money do i need to start investing?

                    With my current salary and excluding all expenses i am projected to maybe have earned 1 million by the time i retire. Obviously i need money to live so the chance i will ever have a capital of a few hunderd thousand is frankly completely unrealistic irl.

                    In the meme, if i take 20000 breaths a day (which is average for a healthy person and i have very lungs) i will have obtained over a million in 3 years. Thats more money anyone needs.

                    I wont have spend much of it because id still have my job as i rather enjoy it. And i earn enough to save regularly. Thats also why i refuse to even considering a promotion.

                    The way i see it a million is more then plenty to start investing. Do all the stuff you would want to do so the o get bigger numbers. And i still be gething more. After 10 years of breathing il have 4 times all the money i will ever earn in my realistic real life.

                    Whatever emergency might happen that i still somehow couldn’t afford then are all things i would never be Able to afford in real life. And none of those emergencies actually exist for me because i have access to really good and free socialized healthcare.

                    Money is evil and the worst drugs humans have ever created. In fact i dont want to give money to charity rather i want to join charity and help them do stuff other then collecting money. But i dp rationalize than in this world charity cannot operate without. And if i am going to accumulate free money by Breathing the only way i can stay ethical is by giving it away.

                    Is it that bizar to meet someone who is happy to be content?
