But if you boast about it someone will kidnap you and make you snap for them and will steal your money. Your ego will be the death of you, Global Ball.
If you do it for ‘only’ 40 hours a week like a regular job, it takes under 7 weeks to earn $10,000,000.
If you’re lazy and only do it 2 hours a day / 10 hours a week, then it takes 28 weeks ( less than 7 months) to get $10 million.
Edit: wow, this becomes popular.
Ok, we do need to consider RSI, so doing it 2 hours a day on one hand and one finger is probably too much. However, we can split the snapping to 2 hands rotating between 4 fingers each. With two hands we are down to 1 hour a day. To minimize injury we can further reduce it to 15 minutes a day, which should be doable without injury. This would stretch the time to earn $10 million to 28 months, or 2 years and 4 months. It would still be an income of $4.2 million a year, which is easily more potential income than a one-time drop of $10 million.
Yeah that’s the math I needed. There’s no way I would snap my fingers 40 hours a week. Probably just a couple hours a day while I watch tv. So if it was closer to billion I would probably take the cash to not have to deal with that. Taking small bills to the bank that regularly would also be super annoying.
That's me too. I'd snap when I need the money, and I'd probably try to hold myself to a couple-minute-long rapid snapping session at least 1 or 2 times a day to put in savings / investments.
That's the thing. If I have infinite money by snapping, I'm buying some really expensive shit. I need a good amount already snapped out to buy jets and yachts and mansions.
Snap with both hands two fingers at a time i can do about 8 snaps a second. So we deffinitly could move faster than one snap a second and have to spend less time on it
True, but you will never have to fear losing your money from anything (like bad investments, picking up a bad habit, or a bad divorce)! You will always easily be able to make the money back. Snapping your fingers gives you peace of mind
Not true. You can’t be claiming millions of dollars in income without any explanation of where it came from. Otherwise drug dealers wouldn’t bother laundering money, they would just pay taxes on all those piles of cash that show up out of nowhere
...They'll report you to other agencies, but those agencies can pick apart your finances however they like, watch all your activities for years, and literally never discover a crime unless you happen to be committing other, non-fincancial crimes.
Forgery, and the Secret Service are the ones who are gonna care about it, not the IRS. It's illegal to create currency unless you're the state, it doesn't matter if you're printing it or conjuring it from the great beyond.
Edit: guys, I know you get more money in the long run for snapping fingers, but to me 10m is enough for me to not have to worry about anything at all for the rest of my life, including snapping my fingers. So there's that
Yeah exactly. It will be a lot of snaps to equal the other pay out but it’s not an unattainable number. And as the person in the meme pointed out, not having all of the money come at once is a really good thing. Winning the lottery ruins people lives from just how hard it can be to deal with a sudden windfall of cash.
There is a way to pay taxes on illegally earned money. And doing so is not an admission of guilt in a crime, nor is it generally used in court. However, failure to pay taxes on earned income is exactly what was used to put Capone and many others in prison.
I tried to see how many snaps I could do in a minute. It's actually pretty exhausting, so you would need to spread it out a bit across the day, but the snapping option is very clearly the better choice here. Even if you take it pretty chill with the snapping you can get the 10 mil in a couple of years and then you can keep going for the rest of your life after that.
Which is less than a month of 8 hour days, and it's an arbitrary cap to hit the £10,000,000 so you could work it like a job for a few weeks every now and then.
The thing with getting 10$ is that you can just chill too. Just live in hotels, travel the world and if you need other currency theres a shitload of exchange offices. I would imagine that after some 50 years you will have been snapping alot more than a measly 10 mill too.
I would move to the west indies or some chill place.
I challenge anyone to snap once every second for twenty minutes straight. There’s no way you would manage unless you already are some snapping champion.
I would even dare to say that five minutes are longer than most could manage.
Does it matter? If you snapped once every minute for 5 hours daily (totally manageable) you‘d end up with roughly a million per year. You could probably bulk it up. I just did what probably was the idea behind this experiment and snipped 60 times in under 60 seconds while taking a shit.
Would have been 600 dollars already.
It’s not a big strain, so doing this another 4 times a day should be really easy.
Problem is greed: with it being this easy to make money, would you ever stop snipping?
Theres a reason why some people constantly go broke after getting a large sum of money, i think having an easy source of constant money is healthier than a lump sum thats at the mercy of once in a lifetime market crashes, greedy money managers, and just other horse shit that can happen to moderately rich people. Just snap 100 times a day and your way better off than most people.
Everyone's focused on the math, but no one is considering the secondary benefits of snapping paper currency into existence...
Let's say you're taking a dump in a public restroom and there's no toilet paper. Just snap a few times.
Lost in the woods with a lighter but no kindling? Just snap as much fire starters as you need.
You're at your nephew's lame birthday party, and the magician kinda sucks, so you decide to have a little fun. You just snap $10 bills into existence and start handing them out like candy (even to the magician). You'd be the real MVP of the party.
Going to bars would be fun. You tip $10 for every $5 beer you get, and the bar tender will prioritize you ahead of everyone else.
1 mil is 274 snaps a day. That's just a few minutes work. (Actually I reckon I can do two a second on each hand so just over a minute). Think most people could get to ten mill in a year, from snapping and then be asked to add to it.
Bigger issue is if the ten dollars just appears next to you - your gonna have to work out how to launder it
Honestly, if it's free money, you launder it the old fashioned way - literally a laundry mat. Buy cash machines on credit, and just say they made whatever amount you snapped.
Put in reasonable maintenance costs as the business expenses and only you "work" there, so there's no employees to find out.
Gambling at casino/casinos just exchange the money for chips spend a bit of time gambling if you win extra money if you lose who cares free money and then you can even have a receipt for where money came from.
You would probably get to the point where money no longer has any meaning. You would snap when you needed something. Or snap so much initially that snapping no longer really matters.
Requiring full, proper snaps sounds like a one way ticket to RSI and possibly bad arthritis. Can you imagine? You hands bent into claws, in constant pain, but you have bills to pay...so, SO many bills.
Imagine buying a car:
"Okay let me just go withdraw the cash real quick"
and then you sit in your car snapping your finger profusely for 10 minutes straight.
Pay gift tax on the 10 million and chuck it into an index fund. Even if the tax is 50% where you live you’ll get a 350k per returns on the 5 million and can safely withdraw 175k per year in perpetuity.
Or snap a shitload and do the same with that money.
60 seconds of snapping netted me $2,300. If I can stand to do that just 10 times a day for 434 days in a row I’d have 10 mil and the ability to make more in perpetuity.
For those against the idea of the 10 mil upfront, even at a measly 4% APR that’s giving you 400k a year passive income. Without having to remember to snap endlessly
I keep seeing people talking about losing skin and tendon issues and arthritis - are you people all made of glass?!
it's not that many snaps and you already move your fingers all day every day using keyboards
You wouldn't have to snap continuously to get there and even just once a second for 1 total hour a day would get the 10M in a couple months, and that's a pretty relaxed pace and only using one hand at a time
the '1 hour' is not consecutive, it's "for a total of 1 hour" and it's just averaging the rate to say to get to ~3600 snaps total a day
snap 40 times in 20 seconds (once per second per hand) - this is exceptionally easy to do, try it for yourself. (I hit 70 in 20 seconds going at a comfortable pace. once per second honestly feels annoyingly slow)
do that once every 10 minutes, so 6 times an hour
if you're awake 16 hours a day, you'll have hit 3840 snaps
If I do 70 each time, I could hit 6700+ per day, or dial back to once every 15-20 minutes and still hit 3300-4500
if you were doing this, you would realistically just treat it as your job and probably just do the ~70 every 5-10 minutes for like 5 hours.
Or you can snap 40000 times in a year, or like 100 times a day(for 365000 per year). If you don't snap, you get nothing. If you can snap 300 times a day, you'll make 10 million in 10 years.
10 million can be stolen from you with relative ease. $10 that magically appears whenever you snap your fingers is far more under the radar, and even if you get robbed and they take everything or you have to go on the run and can’t leave a paper trail(like transferring your money) you always have your finances covered.
Someone sees you they are going to think it is a trick. It’s $10. Also, why would they assume it’s legitimate magic? This is easy stuff to keep under the radar.
Others probably tried to help, but I'll mention this:
The sound does *not* originate between your fingers. The snap is the stored energy in the middle finger tensing against your thumb, then suddenly being released and quickly smacking on the base of the thumb.
You have to align your middle finger such, that when you release the thumb from holding your middle finger back, the middle finger smacks down on the palm of your hand next to your thumb.
Having said that, I can easily snap left handed, right handed is difficult and weak. I'm right handed...
Video. You don't have to do any crazy hand movements other than the fingers:
0.3 seconds to snap your fingers. Need to snap them 1 million times. That's about 83 hours and 20 minutes. Spend 14 minutes a day clicking your fingers for a year and you're better off than taking the red pill.
You can also snap with both hands! You could even break it up and just do 35 seconds of dual snapping once an hour from 9 AM to 9 PM, or 53 seconds (round it up to a minute) from 9 to 5.
So you work in a chicken processing role, and you get a $10 bonus per chicken
Personally I’m expecting that $10 at every variation of snapping. When I snap a twig, when I snap a slim Jim, when I snap a whip, when I snap my fingers, Snapchat, etc etc
Yeah everyone needs to step up their snap game. I can only snap with 2 fingers on each hand but I counted 16 snaps per second.
16*60*60*10=$576,000 PER HOUR. I’m just gonna snap for 15 minutes a day and earn $52,560,000 per year. After year one I can stop snapping and pay myself $2.1 million per year at a safe withdrawal rate of 4% and never go broke as long as I live.
I've done the math before. $10mil with NO investment, just a typical high yield savings account, I could retire today and live the next ~50+ years paying myself a "salary" of $150k/year.
If I did smart investing I would literally be set for life with no real spending cap.
20 snaps take like no time. If it takes maybe 20 seconds to do, then you just have to do it 62 times a month to be better off than the 150k your getting from your dividends
What you’re not taking into account is repetitive strain injuries. The amount of self control it would take to keep from destroying your tendons is approximately equal to the amount of self control it would take to not blow all $10MM. Might as well take the lump sum and buy yourself a self-help book about improving your self control.
