    How exactly do you define making money though? I already have more than $40 could I purchase a product worth more than $40 and then return it? Could I steal $40 from somebody and then give it back once my family is no longer going to explode? Could I explain that my family is going to explode and politely request the money in hopes that someone believes me? How long do I need to retain the money? What if I just take something I own to a pawn shop? What if I gamble and I lose $50 and then later I make $40, I’m $10 down but technically I made $40 in the last transaction, have I satisfied the requirement?

    So $13.33/h?

    That’s less than £10 which I believe would be below minimum wage in my country, so basically any job would do it

    Easy. Sell a gun on FB Marketplace for a ridiculously low asking price. It would sell faster than I would be banned.

    Get a loan from the local loan shark.

    Go to the roulette table at the casino. Bet it all on 32.

    Lose my bet.

    Go back to the local loan shark for $40.

    Bet the $40 at the roulette table.

    Lose.

    Repeat until either I get the money to pay the loan shark and save my family. Or I gues it’s RIP for my family and my kneecaps.

    Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.

    40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.

    Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

      Sorry family. I got into the flow at work. Oops about that.
