Dodging taxes

If you live in a state or county that charges for car tax and are thinking about buying a new car here is what you need to do.  Have one of your family members in a nearby county or state that has no car tax buy the car.  They keep the car registered in their name at their address and then you don't have to pay any car tax.  You can save thousands of dollars over the course of multiple years by doing this.  Who cares if you are technically dodging taxes that you should be paying.

Business Cards

Use all those pesky extra business cards as video game controller cleaners and keyboard cleaners.  Any good gamer should have enough keyboards and controllers to handle the hundreds (or thousands) of extra cards laying around.  Plus, you are saving the environment by putting them to a good use.

Improved final results

If you ever get sucked into doing any sort of construction project, make a gigantic mess when doing the demolition and the prep work.  Then wait until all the new work is complete to clean everything up.  Even if you didn't do a good job it will look amazing just because everything is clean again.

Todays post inspired by some personal work.  I bid you farewell staircase of old.

Hydration

Hydration is an important part of life, but so is precious gaming time.  To optimize both you should drink more water during your work day.  You save money on water you would pay for at home, the work day is then sufficiently broken up by bathroom breaks.  Then 45 minutes before leaving work stop drinking water.  The extra water you have consumed during the day should be enough to get you through the rest of the night.  You won't have to pause your gaming to get water or go to the bathroom.

Avoiding working vacations

If you are expected to be working on vacation.  All you have to do is pack your company phone into a backpack and "accidentally" fall into a stream, pool, ocean, etc.  The phone won't bother you for the rest of your vacation, and you can enjoy your time off.

Travel and Opportunity Cost

You should take the train instead of driving when you’re traveling for work. Even though you get money back from expensing mileage, you’re losing money from fixing your car. Plus, when else is it so appropriate for you to get paid for playing games.

Exploiting people who believe

This one goes out to you Harold Camping.  First establish a religious group that is losely affiliated with one of the major religions.  Second convince all the people in said group that the world is going to end in the relatively near future (5-7 years).  Third establish multiple local businesses that would profit from people attempting to warn others of impending doom: radio stations to sell air time, billboards to rent, car detail shops for doomsday custom paint jobs, etc.  Fourth convince all the people in the religious group that they should spend all their money preparing to warn others they will subsequently vacate all of their bank accounts and support all of your businesses.  Wait a year or two after the supposed doomsday has occured and admit you made a grave calculation error and that doomsday is actually 5-7 years later than you initially said, repeat.
