Default The CE Money Challenge !

Hi All CEans!

Here comes the First CE Money Challenge!

Each CEan starts with just 50 bucks (of his/her own; don't ask administrator to lend you money ). Now using these 50 bucks, he/she tries to make 1000 bucks. Now let me put it straight -

1. Start with 50 bucks (Source: Your Salary, Pocket Money, Borrowed Money etc. )

2. Using your 'crazy' brain , try to make 1000 bucks out of your initial 50 bucks. Do whatever! (ref#3) Put it in share market or buy and sell a CD to your friend maybe you can go to Las Vegas or buy and play a harmonica on streets... whatever! Let the creative juices flow and get crazy ideas to multiply your 50 bucks. Remember 50 bucks -that's all you have to get started!

3. Do NOT use any illegal, unethical means for this task.

4. One who makes 1000 bucks fastest, wins! (No prizes for the winner )

5. Do post your strategy in this thread. Seek help from others and help others. Let's see if we come up with really good ideas of multiplying money

Happy Money Making!

-The Big K-

p.s : 'Bucks' is of course generic. 50 bucks refers to Dollars, Euros, Rupees, Yen .... whatever !

I know this thread is going to be down for sometime. .. maybe I'll keep adding some junk like this unless people start popping their ideas. What say people?

I knew someone would say this.

I guess the purpose behind this challenge is to generate various ideas of making money with little money.

Few years ago, David(my friend) and I had started a candy shop with a monthly rental of $20. We operated for 2 months and made approx $350 8).
Calculate the ROI. Impressive?

Target of $1000 starting with $50 is tough, but not impossible. I'm in for it
Watchout!

Talking Here I am

I made around 150 dollars using my initial investment of 50 dollars.

What did I do? -

My Lawn Mowing Service

Biggie may not accept this as I used my old lawn mower. But who cares .

I repaired my old lawn mower which cost me 35 buks (Did it all by myself, I'm a crazy engineer ). 15 buks is my service charge .

My new lawn mowing machine was then lended to a local school for 5 buks / day. I can't believe those morons agreed to pay me 5 buks per day . they have been using my lawn mower since past one month and I'm making money.

Not a bad start

Anyone else?

Thumbs up well done

Good Start Rick !

Rules of the Money Challenge say that you must use only 50 bucks. But I do appreciate your strategy.

Good Going! Looking for more people to join in !
