Heavy exercise will increase your breathing speed, so that’s still the better option.
Even with the taxman trailing you, it sounds pretty easy to get enough money to become part of the tax-immune caste
I take the 25 cents per step, thank you very much. Being paid for going on long walks with my girlfriend and friends? That sounds nice.
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.
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.
For me definitely steps, I walk 5000 steps on a work day, when I actually have time off its more like 10K steps. I would stop working and just walk with my dog for an full hour every day. Combine that with normal daily stuff I’ll definitely get 10K steps (2500 euros/dollars) every day. That’s almost a million a year.
That’s fair. I’m fine settling for half a mil before taxes for doing nothing
Who is Beff Jezos?
I usually call him Jeff Bozo or just Bozo for short.
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.
You will become disabled in some way (or you will die). Breathing still comfortably makes you 6 figures and you could rely on it until you die.
With that said, if you went the step option and put the extra money into investments, you’d be ahead even if you become disabled, assuming it happens long enough from now.
Breathing is the no risk, no effort, (relatively) low reward option. The only time you’ll stop making money is if you’re dead, and you’re still making 350,000 a year.
Me with asthma and in a wheelchair :(
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.
But if it were millions, IRS will not be watching at all.
Every bond you break every claim you stake
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.
If you guesstimate 20 breaths a minute vs 10,000 steps a day, the steps one wins.
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?
Just ask yourself, could a genie monkey paw me with this?
If they can, then don’t pick it.
Take the guaranteed income (at long as you’re alive), and go for a run with all your free time.
Going for a run would also increase your breathing rate.
So how come this is posted twice?
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’m pretty sure he’d agree with you considering he said he would choose breathing over walking.
True, I may have slightly mis-interpreted their comment. Just consider this a supporting argument.
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.
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.
