On one hand, breathing is the safe route that doesn't stop until you're dead, and even at the lower bound average of a random internet search (12 breaths per minute), still provides over $850 a day.
On the other, if walking earned you money, you'd almost certainly become healthier and live longer. Plus, unless you had an accident, you'll be able to put away enough money to live off the interest forever and only a few years of normal walking.
Not even going out of my way to walk other than just walking the dogs and being at work I would earn 41k this month so far.
I don't think there is a way that the breathing would work out better unless you were paraplegic and couldn't manage to take any steps.
Every bond you break every claim you stake
But if it were millions, IRS will not be watching at all.
Me with asthma and in a wheelchair :(
Internet says an average adult breaths 12 - 20 time per minute. Assuming 20 breaths per minute, that comes out to $1,440 dollars per day($0.05 × 20 breaths × 60 minutes × 24 hours)
If you're dedicated, you can walk 20,000 steps in a day. It's not easy, but it's achievable. This would yield $5,000 per day.
For perspective, if you were smart and chose the $5,000 per day, it would take you 547 years to earn your first billion and 131,416 years to have as much money as Jeff Bezos.
Edit: I lost some decimals. I fixed the calculations
I think you forgot to divide by 100 for the breathing one. It's $1,440 cause it was 5 cents
Dang. You're right.
Yeah, I think breathing accounts for $1440.
I would take steps income. Going for a jog twice per week, assuming I'll be taxed at the same rate as my current job, I'll still earn much more money for way less time investment, plus I would be fit and I enjoy running.
Who is Beff Jezos?
I usually call him Jeff Bozo or just Bozo for short.
Given the average amount of breathing that others calculated that would be over half a million of passive income every year. I could live with that as opposed to having to actively find time to walk.
I counted 5 and then 7 steps across 2 breaths. Gotta be at least 50c per step for my to consider it any further. I probably wouldn't accept until $1. And even then, casual cardio like walking would ramp up breathing faster anyway.
Can you walk 24 hours a day though? Your body automatically breathes during sleep, but you need to be awake to walk and not be doing anything that requires you to sit still.
Sleeping, a sit down meal, commuting, office work, even exercise like biking and swimming, all require breathing and not taking steps.
I'd stick to the safe money of breathing. Sure it's less but it's guaranteed, don't have to feel like you're losing money by spending all day on your PC or getting loaded on a beach somewhere. Plus if you get hit by a bus and crippled at least you still have your income.
Just from stepping I'd have $1,250 today. I'm fine with that.
I've got a chronic illness and I got $375 worth of steps today. I still breathed 20,000 times. That's a GRAND day. $365k a year
You never know what the future might bring. Become a paraplegic and the money stops just when you need it.
Go with breathing. It only stops when you're dead.
Ah US taxes. "We know how much you make but you have to do your own paperwork and if you get it wrong we'll jail you."
Other countries have to do their own paperwork too.
So how come this is posted twice?
If you guesstimate 20 breaths a minute vs 10,000 steps a day, the steps one wins.
Just ask yourself, could a genie monkey paw me with this?
If they can, then don't pick it.
Except for day’s you’re sick, stuck inside, etc. Then when you get older the walking would be harder but you still gotta breathe. Plus you can still work any job you’d like since people do like to keep busy, and since it’d probably be more of a passion thing you might be hyper-focused and forget to get your walking in for the day. All the stuff I’d be doing wouldn’t have too much walking involved.
I’d take breath, it’s already more money than I could ever spend so why not make it passive?
Take the guaranteed income (at long as you're alive), and go for a run with all your free time.
