1. Work harder than everyone else.
2. Be in the right place at the right time.
3. Make the right decisions when opportunity presents itself.
4. Live well below your means ... no matter how meager your means might be.
5. Hang onto every dollar like it is your last and there will never be another.
6. Never, ever, buy anything on credit.  Ever.
7. Invest wisely, not too much risk but not too little either.

Inheritance

Poor choice, you'll blow through it quickly if you don't earn it yourself.

Marriage

You think she keeps your balls in a jar now?   Just imagine if she had all the money too. 

Work

Work, while important, is not by itself a way to wealth.  Particularly if you're a W2 employee on someone else's payroll.

Shiftily Pulling One Over On a Bunch of Rubes

One of the rubes will have a brother-in-law who is an attorney and they'll fleece you for everything you have for sport.

Gambling/Lottery

Craps is your best bet.  Well-played you only lose about 50.5% of the time.  Fun project: write an accurate craps simulation, run a few million trials, and see if you ever wind up with more money than you started with.  After craps your odds really go in the crapter.

Stealing

Forfeiture laws.  Heck, I'd turn you in for the reward.

I think inventing something ingenious and then reaping the rewards would be the easiest/most fun way to get rich.  After that sould be stealing.  But only from the rich, like Robin Hood.

Thanks dad  :rolleyes: 

I thought of another one!  Find treasure/gold nuggets!  I know, I know, it sounds like work but in reality it's basically The Goonies.

We have got to find a cure for that horrible disease

I sometimes try to think of a way. Why can't we think of a way to "track" mutated cells (maybe by putting some sort of reagent in our bodies), and once it hits a certain #, we kill it w/chemo?

Not true.  Using Basic Strategy and betting strategy, you can get the best odds in the house.  It's not much better though, maybe 51% :)

All I know is that when I play blackjack, I throw down 50 dollars on a five dollar table and I can play for hours.  Most of the time you go up as long as you keep playing your basic strategy and change your betting to match how hot the deck is at the time.

As often as women take hard drugs during pregnancy, so my guess is often enough.
