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
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.
I'd take breath income, purely because it's passive. If you ever lose your legs, you lose your income, but if I ever stop breathing, it's no longer my problem that I have no more income
I am with you. Plus you can do other exercises while breathing (and breath more per minute) and still earn money. And if you need money faster then go for a run or something. 12-20 breaths per minute when sitting 20-30 when walking 40-60 when running
I don't need to earn a lot as a passive side job and when I get old and can't walk as much will I still earn money and I think it is when I am old I actually need it.
