Consider.

The entire tax system is full of giving and taking back money, shich is a constant rollercoaster. There are more stable ways they you can get money from the government though:

• Rent benefit and similar tax returns are great if you have low income and living alone in a small house. The upper threshold for rent for eligibility of rent penefit is so low that they practically pay half of your rent for you.
• Because most Dutch holidays are in April and May, we have a holiday allowance of 8% of annual income. Great on paper, until you realize the tax is well over 50% on it. Either way, free money on top of your usual salary in May.
• I don't know if it is some Western European urge to be fancy and use another calendar, or some miscalculation by the same people who never get the taxes right, but some people have a payment for the thirteenth month in late December. Not everyone has it.
• Lastly, at the end of each year you can ask for tax returns which somehow pays more than the holiday allowance. Typically you apply in March and receive it towards June.

I considered if I would do the same if I were super rich; so rich that I would earn €1000 faster than I can tie my shoes. If it takes me half a month to tie the said shoe, that is indeed possible. It would be a weird flex, but that's not the point.

Bill boards. I mean he probably does, but more importantly, billboards. People think you can put some product there and other people will rush to buy your products. The truth is, we are so fed up with seeing ads that our brains now have a realtime adblocker. The moment I see the word sale or discount, i look awau feom thr text. (Sorry for the typos, I looked away again.) I think there is a way to make these ad rectangles much more striking. If I had the money, I would rent every single billboard in a city to put an image of a simit and a rubber duck, with the text "Soon." accompanying them. Not that I have any plans on delivering the promise. Yet people would be curious. They would look up the internet to find out what it might be. No answers? Theories, conspiracies, Twitter tags... It would just happen and eventually go away, ominous, leaving people thinking. I would watch and laugh as it unfolds.

We have boat tours around where we have our summer house, because it is located near some touristic places by the Aegean Sea. They show you some islands around, even stopping around some so that you can go swim or explore. Occasionally, other boats approach to sell melons, mussels filled with rice and lemon, or ice cream. Just the typical things you would find in a beach in Turkey. Unrelated, there is a very well-known soundtrack every Turk has memorized: "Overlock machine is here!" That's the sound of a car moving around the city, doing the overlock thing for your carpets, towels etc. You'd hear it every other day, so no wonder people knows the sound so well. Anyways, put the puzzle pieces together. You are on a boat trip, in the middle of the sea, and another boat announces they do overlocks. Of course, you think. Who doesn't bring their own carpets to a boat for their summer holiday? The absurdity of the situation is what I am aiming for. Just wait until you get some reputation on social media and people actually start bringing their carpets.

Junk mail is not fun. But I will keep it short: "Meet me on [Street Name] at [time]" with some travel money attached to it. Send it to one person, it's creepy. Send it to every single person in the city, in the same day, then it's beyind creepy. Imagine finding a piece of paper in your mailbox saying that, and not knowing whether you are being targeted, unaware everyone within 50 kilometers also got the same post. Statistically speaking, at least 2 people will actually come (including the police). I won't be there though. Or I will be, pretending I got the same post. It's a creepy meetup I suppose.

You knew those rich people who flex their mansions, Ferraris, or even Rolexes that cost more than my mortgage downpayment? They don't know what the real item to flex with. Have you ever heard a rich person owning roundabouts? Like, has there been any person who is known for owning and maintaining hundreds and hundreds of roundabouts? It almost reads as if I will say no after that; but believe or not, the answer is a partial yes. The silly man Max Fosh did flex with his one and only roundabout. Since then I have been thinking. It would indeed be a statement if someone bought all roundabouts in a city.

The more I write this blog post, the more I feel like I have the desire to watch it all burn. Like a pyromaniac, but metaphorically. But here is one more fun idea on how to waste a lot of money: Buy ads all over the TV, internet, radio, even through sponsoirships. A website, nothing but a black background. A timer with a really big font. No other explanation. Make millions and millions watch, wait and spread conspiracies... just to find out it's a rickroll.

I would walk around and ask people "Would you [do this] for a million dollars?" People are used to regarding these questions as hypotheticals, however, this can be an actual question if you are rich enough. Of course, I would ask very difficult ones such as "Would you jump off of a 100 meter cliff for ten million dollars?" until someone actually says yes. I would show them the money, drive them by a cliff and give them the money. I may be chaotic at times but I am not cruel. I would not let the person jump down, but gladly observe as they are reevaluating their choices.

It would be fun to work as a special Uber driver. It saddens me deeply that I cannot take an Uber to work with a tank. Not that I want to demolish my office building, but just imagine the scenario. Going through tolls with a tank while the camera devices failing to identify the vehicle category, doing your business at the parking meter as passersby try to understand what is going on, casually waiting at a red light (and infuriate other drivers by probably not reaching the traffic light before it turns red again)... While on it, might as well start a company like Uber specifically for tanks. Maybe extend into Uber Eats too. Come on, ordering pasta via a tank would be incredible!
