Sir Buffalo Sushi’s top 6 ways to get rich
Hello, earthlings! Sir Buffalo Sushi, yet again, I know you’re all thrilled to be reading my post again.
Well, I’m 11 years old now, and I’ve been thinking; I should be thinking about my career… But, I don’t think I’m going to have a job, I’ll probably just get rich at age 20. This is how I’ll do it:
1) I have a huge 1200 card football-card collection (which will probably be worth $2,500,00 when I’m grown up.)
2) I’m saving up my chore money until I have $100,000 ($2 a week)
3) I collect wheat-pennies (in case one of them’s valuable)
4) Every time I see any kind of money on the floor, including pennies which others just walk by, I pick it up. I figure if I pick up 1 cent every day, I’ll get $3.65 a year.
5) Every time I go to a store, I check if there’s any money that people forgot in those machines that counts your money for you. (one time I found $5 in the slot where the coins come out)
6) I bought some stock. OH MY GOSH! I’M 11 AND I HAVE STOCK! I’m like that annoying E-trade baby! And I’m doing my part to stabilize the economy.
Yes, these are some, let’s say “In progress” ideas, but, hey, it’s not like I’m one of those 99% success rate professors! So, whether you like my methods, or hate ‘um, it’s how I do things. Not to be mean of course. ‘Till next time, earthlings!

Dear Sir Buffalo Sushi,
First of all, I love your name.
Here’s my trick to becoming rich: after an event, say a parade or a fair or a concert, I’ll take a walk as soon as it ends, keeping my eyes on the ground. People always lose money at these things because they’re too busy having fun to notice when they drop their cash!
Hi Sir,
There is someone in my house that I think you’d get along with (he also collects wheat pennies). Here is what I recommend you do: take over the laundry. There are always coins left in the bottom of the washing machine, and the dryer? Even better! Those dollar bills (and sometimes TEN dollar bills) just float out of the pockets, ready to fund your dreams.
Don’t forget to check the couch for loose change!
I have some advice too. A couple of summers when I was in high school I worked at a large theme park in New Jersey. I was on “grounds” which means that I swept the ground. It didn’t pay very well and was not a good way to get rich, but I often walked under the tracks of the roller coasters that go upside down and collected the money that fell out of people’s pockets.
Since you don’t want to get a job you can’t do it exactly the way I did, but you can probably try to convince your parents to take you to a large theme park a couple times during your childhood. Then, while the rest of your family goes on all the rides, just stand under the track of the upside-down roller coaster and wait for the big payoff.
Good luck!
Thank you all for the comments, I’ll keep note of them, and one day, I’ll probably use them all in the future.
