    Internet says an average adult breaths 12 - 20 time per minute. Assuming 20 breaths per minute, that comes out to $144,000 dollars per day(5¢ × 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 $144,000 per day, it would take you 19 years to earn your first billion and 4563 years to have as much money as Jeff Bezos.

      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

      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?

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
