    My family: Sell a comic book.

    My wife’s family: Buy some popcorn.

    How exactly do you define making money though? I already have more than $40 could I purchase a product worth more than $40 and then return it? Could I steal $40 from somebody and then give it back once my family is no longer going to explode? Could I explain that my family is going to explode and politely request the money in hopes that someone believes me? How long do I need to retain the money? What if I just take something I own to a pawn shop? What if I gamble and I lose $50 and then later I make $40, I’m $10 down but technically I made $40 in the last transaction, have I satisfied the requirement?

    I would go to work at my job and earn more than $40 just like I do every day.

    Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.

      Right? 3 hours is $288. Any other families that need not exploding?

    I feel like this is a “straight” boys wet dream. Perfect ‘no homo’ excuse to suck a dick.

    “I did it to save my family”.

    I would just ask my brother to give me $40. I think he would probably do that to avoid exploding.

      Even if I didn’t make that at my normal job, or it was non-business hours when I can’t just go to work for money, I feel like $40 in 3 hours is pretty doable with just gig work (grocery/restaurant delivery, Uber).

        That usually a month for me. I don’t respond unless it’s something important.

    40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.

    Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

      Sorry family. I got into the flow at work. Oops about that.

    Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

    Needless to say I’m not too fond of my family…

    Go to work for an hour

    Take my bottles to the depot

    Ask a buddy to spot me 40

    Sell a couple things

    … check my bank account?

    $40 isn’t that much money…
