Gertrude Stein, who was a writer and avid art collector, once wrote, “I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich.” How many people have said that throughout the years? Surely everyone at one point in their life has had the desire to make a ton of money, but not everyone does. It seems like it would be a lot of really hard work to become a millionaire, or at least financially stable. There must be a way to earn a lot of cash without having to work on your feet twenty-four hours a day. Here are five lazy ways to get rich. They may not all be easy and for few of them, a lot of luck will be needed, but for a lot of them, you possibly won’t even have to leave your couch.

#1 Hit the lottery

This is, by far, the laziest and easiest way to get rich quick. The only problem is that you have a better chance at getting struck by lightning than to win millions of dollars in the national lottery. This may not be easy in terms of winning, but the fact that all you have to do is drive to the gas station, grocery store or lottery agent, is considerably stress-free. If the odds are in your favor on that particular day, then winning will most likely be easy as well. Good luck.

#2 Marry Someone Who Is Very Wealthy

This is definitely a lazy way to get rich, but undoubtedly, isn’t that easy. If you can find an incredibly wealthy man or woman, chances are, they are looking for someone who does not want them just for their money. You will get the money quickly (if they allow it), but in the long run you probably won’t be that happy. That’s if you are only marrying them for their cash.

#3 Buy A Metal Detector

If you have a lot of time on your hands and enjoy spending your days outdoors, specifically in the sand by the beach, well this may be the task for you. Buy yourself a metal detector and start searching. It may be a little time consuming, but let’s face it, it doesn’t require much work. Although, finding the perfect locations for the search might be the toughest part. We can all recall seeing people with their metal detectors on the beach, finding all sorts of valuable items such as gold and jewelry, well why don’t you become that person?You might be the lucky one to get your hands on some very expensive and valuable items. You never know.

#4 Invest In The Stock Market

The stock market is a very risky business, and most people who invest in it already have the funds they need in order to gamble it away. It is a lazy and sometimes easy way to get rich, if you have the money in the beginning. There are some products and businesses that everyone knows are doing rather well, but these stocks are already expensive. If you want to invest in a less costly business, it is a huge risk to invest money in it if you don’t know how well the business will thrive, or if it will tank while you are invested. You can always start with a small amount and take it from there.

#5 Create A YouTube Channel That Generates Billions Of Hits

This may not be the laziest way to get rich, but it has happened, more than once. There are multiple people who have a channel on YouTube and have generated billions of views, just by creating their own show. If you have something creative or funny to show the rest of the world, this may be the way to go. There are no promises for the number of “hits” you will receive by doing this, but stranger things have happened.
