Professional Money Earner

I earn money by earning money. It is very simple, really: I start by having no money. Then I earn money. Then someone pays me for earning that money.

You should try it sometime. Where does the money come from? I don't know. They don't pay me to know that.


Statistician.

That's probably fine until you run into a statistician who wants to talk shop. Of course if you are a statistician already then you're fine.

You miss the point. Unless you're moving to your own island and never having company some stranger somewhere sometime ask you what you do for a living. That's the question.

I could be quite reclusive on the mainland, thank you very much. :)

I guess I would tell them I made a couple of good investments that paid off really well. And then I would tell them to go away.

I'd hand them my card that features the tech consulting studio I'd build out of my winnings. I may win the lottery but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn into a couch potato. The only difference is that if I win big enough to not need money, I'd just do my work for non-profits gratis.

Oh, I'd probably own stuff. Maybe a string of apartments or quadraplexes. If I did then I'd just say I ran that company, when in fact I own it.

The best part is, if you are investing the money appropriately, it isn't a lie.

Darn it, you ruined my snark-laden reply by taking it at face value! (Well done).

Odd as it sounds I would actually prefer proof of the supernatural over winning the lottery. Of course I wouldn't complain if I got both.

Heck with that — being an editor is hard work. I strongly suspect being a developer is too.

I'd want Brock's job. He doesn't do ANYthing. ;-)

And if proof of the supernatural were of the Lovecraftian variety? You'd probably be wishing for your prior ignorance.


I think it depends on why the stranger is asking. Is it off the cuff bit of friendly conversation or because they've noticed that you're displaying some noteworthy wealth in some method.

Either way I certainly wouldn't tell strangers I've won the millions.

Joke Answer: R&D of Landmines for a private defense contractor - Now get off my lawn, if you can!

Wealth Signs Answer: House Sitting for the Rich, Present from relatives for jewellery, Rented a supercar for a party...some plausible excuse for whatever really.

I would tell people I worked developing software from my home office.

It would even be true, if only for personal projects.

As for signs of excessive wealth: I doubt there would be many. Very few of my desires in life are beyond the financial means of a senior programmer.

Perhaps, but if the lovecratian variety exists so does something more.

Me: I'm a full on rapist. You know, Africans, dyslexics, children...

Them: Did you say you're a rapist?

Me: No, no. I help people, with money and stuff.

Them: You mean a philanthropist?

Me: Yeah, that's it.


I can think of several answers, depending on circumstances and mood. I might answer the question with "Whatever I want to do." I'm the kind of guy who takes responsibilities and duty very seriously and I can't let them go, so I might pick up a cause and spend my time focusing on that, in which case I'd tell the questioner about that. If I'm feeling whimsical, I might answer "Nothing". Or "Answer questions for strangers I meet." Really, the possibilities are endless :)

Really though...which Lottery and How much? A billion Dollars and I might build a Stadium in international Waters and hold a death match for a million dollars cash for the winner each year and broadcast it to the world with Advertising revenue to sustain it forever.

Lets see your ethics then.

My friend has a dream of two connected strip clubs, one with female dancers and one with male dancers.

He wants to name it "Sweaty's".

I would like to know where this Billion dollar lottery is.

The lottery that I see starts as 12M and I've seen get as high as Half a billion (500,000)
