I hate how much that mindset unironically speaks to me.

Getting to a 4-hour work week.

1. Start selling useless if not dangerous supplements online for a huge markup

2. Use that income to hire other people to do the work for you.

Bonus tip: hire people from poor countries, they are cheaper.

Totally ethical, totally fine.

Yes, that was my take on it too…

Take advantage of others for your own gain.

Sorry ‘outsource’.

It's called "creating jobs".

The traditional key to passive income is picking your parents wisely.

Reminds me of how my friend made 10 million dollars before he turned 30 by STRICTLY following the below regimen:

1) Get up every day before 6AM

2) Remove all sugar from diet

3) Read one book a week

4) Inherit 10 million dollars from parents

5) Exercise 90 minutes five times a week

6) Buy a standing desk

I had to stop reading your list after point 6. Too overwhelming.

This is excellent list. I am sure haters will emphasize on one of the least important point instead of 5 really critical ones.

Nobody reads books any more.

Why read books when you can have them read aloud at x2 while exercising?

I mean, I understood this was satire immediately, but I was definitely still looking for the tutorial at the end of the article.

The term "side hustle" always bothers me. It's not a side hustle if you need that money to survive, it's a second job. Also, multi-level marketing schemes were the classic side hustle for a long time, but they generally only appeal to (prey on?) desperate people.

Convince a desperate, hardworking person they have a way out of desperation and you can get them to "side hustle" themselves ragged until they stop making you money because you got too many complaints that their car had hail damage or some similar excuse.
