Get Rich Quick Schemes

But there are time tested techniques that have worked in the past. I have put together a list of get rich quick schemes that, although I can't guarantee that you can get rich off them, I can guarantee that somebody somewhere had made tons of money off every single one of these techniques.

Get A Loaded Spouse

Why worry about how to make tons of money when somebody else has already done it, right? Just marry the guy, or gal as the case might be, and you will automatically be granted full access. Even if things don't work out in the end, you still get half. I bet you can't find a better deal.

Start A Ponzi Scheme

A ponzi scheme is a great way to make some money on the side if you are able to get in early. But if you want to make an obscene amount of money, you must be the one that is running the scheme. It's not difficult really. Just come up with a great money making idea, get investors to put in money and promise them a very good monthly return.

The money entrusted to you goes into your own pocket. But you have to reserve a small amount every month to payoff the investors, and do encourage them to bring in new investors to keep the scheme going. It is best that the investors be kept in the dark about where the money they are being paid with actually comes from, and remain under the impression that it comes from profitable business concerns.

Try Your Luck At The Lottery

Winning the lottery is a great way to get really rich really quick. Probably the only quicker way would be if you chanced upon one million dollars in the streets. Payouts vary from below a million to hundreds of millions. Possibly the highest amount paid in a jackpot is $365 million in the Powerball jackpot. It was paid out on Feb 18 2006.

But don't go buying your castle in Switzerland yet. For most lotteries, the chances of winning would probably be at least a million to one or less, so do be prepared to buy a lot of lottery tickets.

Try Your Hand At Begging

Find a busy sidewalk, and make yourself comfortable on the cold hard concrete. Put up a sign that says something really sad like, "I put my life savings in Lehman Brothers." Put a tin cup or a hat in front of you and watch the money roll in.

Conclusion

The truth is, get rich schemes that promise the moon just cannot work, and hence the rather "interesting" schemes presented here. While a rare few might actually work for a while, their performance cannot be sustained when more and more people utilize their techniques. Even for get rich quick schemes that work, it is a matter of time before they evolve into get rich slow schemes.
