Did you ever find someone to give you the mil for doing any of what you offered? I am a poor college student so far living on my own. I would love it if someone where to ask me to do something for a mil but us small town folks rarely get the pleasure. LOL. Wow.

You've got a deal. I'll even throw in a free one-man show at that price. Mike, babysitting and sandwiches for $1.25 million. You’ve got a deal. I’ll even throw in a free one-man show at that price.

But I think the sandwich offer is better. If I win the big lottery then you might get the call. Can I get a deal if I want two of the items? Babysitting + sandwiches for $1.25 mill? I mean you'd be at the house anyways... ??? Mike The babysitting one is very tempting (you obviously don’t have kids or you would have asked $144 million for that one).

And I would pay someone to bring me/make me sandwiches at all hours of the day. Right now my boyfriend does it for me, but one of these days he's going to realize that he's getting shafted.

These are some fast and not terribly risky ways to make a buck -- well make that make a million of those bucks. If you had these options, then here is what really would be idiotic. Work for $100k per year for 50+ hours per week. Do this year after year after year for a succession of dipwad bosses, while you develop, support, or sell some product or service that puts you to sleep. Save 20% of everything you earn every year. Invest in active mutual funds that take a third of your returns every year and still underperform. Pay some fool broker or financial advisor who charges you a sales load to invest so inefficiently and stupidly. Do this for about 20 or 30 years. If you are lucky, you might have a million bucks after expenses and taxes, but a large part of your life will be expended. That is what would be idiotic. Given the choice (and a legally binding contract, of course), I would do any of the things on your list. How can anyone call you an idiot for these proposals?

I would also be willing to do the above for $1mil. So maybe if some rich person has wayy too much money and wants 3 people to make sandwiches at 2am every day, they could pay up and get all 3 of us haha. That would be a great way to pay off my college! I second #4’s post. I would also be willing to do the above for $1mil.
