Get Rich or Die Trying

If you are looking to save some cash here are some tips on how to get rich or die trying or at least make a few easy bucks.  I know there are plenty of ways to make money out there; stock market, innovations, ect.  My philosophy is to keep the money you’ve already made.  It’s what I like to call thriftiness.

Thriftiness Option #1: PENS

It always baffles me every time I see someone in a store buying pens.  I was just in Walgreens the other day and saw people buying pens.  It’s unnecessary folks, you don’t need to buy pens.  What you need to do is be on the lookout for free pens.  Plenty of groups out there give pens away for free.  If you are at some kind of seminar or something don’t just leave those pens sit there.  Grab as many as you can.  Don’t be the person that grabs them all at once so everyone sees that you are a greedy pen hoarder.  Casually pick one up and comment on the fine quality of it and express your gratitude that an organization as classy as this one would give away a pen.  Also comment about how you plan to use this pen in the future.  Then when no one is looking continue to grab another pen.  Repeat until there are no pens lef

Another option is when you are out to eat, many times they will bring a pen to the table for you sign with.  If they don’t tell you not to take the pen, go ahead and take it.  Same thing at hotels, insurance offices, accounting offices, or pretty much anywhere that they make you sign something.  Sign what you need to then casually pocket the pen.  You can get lots of pens this way.  If someone ever confronts you and says “Hey, did you just take the pen?” or “Now, where did that pen go to”, that’s when you use your get out of jail free card excuse.  I just say ” sorry, I must have accidently stuck it in my pocket, force of habit.”  Give them an awe shucks smile and give them their pen back.  They probably know the pen trick to

Thriftiness Option #2: Bathroom

I’ve heard of some pretty sick stuff like only flushing once every few days.  That is not an option.  People, don’t be gross.  An option I like better is using public restrooms whenever possible. America is a great country and we have public restrooms everywhere and you usually don’t even have to buy something.  Use someone else’s water and paper.  Yea, yea, laugh it up but over the years this can add up to some serious cas

Thriftiness Option #3: Loose Change

Whenever I see coins on the ground I pick them up.  I see so many people walking past free money on the ground it’s crazy.  I good tip is don’t walk with your head up in the clouds daydreaming.  It’s important to multi task.  Don’t just walk, but walk with your eyes constantly scanning for cold hard cash!  Over the  course of your life time this could means tens of tens of dollars.  Another philosophy is don’t order off the dollar menu with money you worked for.  Only use money that you found on the ground.  Happy Hunting people!
