Wearing weights to earn money - how much would you do?
A magical weight genie makes you an offer:
You get paid for every additional kg you wear as either a weight vest, ankle weights, wrist weights, or a combination them.
You get paid $25 per kg per day in perpetuity but the offer ends whenever you take the weights off.
You don't have to be physically supporting the weights at all times so wearing the weight vest whilst laying in bed is fine but you cannot remove the weights. They won't smell or get dirty by constantly wearing them but they are visible. It may affect air travel, clothing options, bungee jumping, horseback riding or other unexpected parts of your life.
What would you chose to wear and for how long?
Some food for thought:
- 0.5kg on each ankle (1kg total) is barely noticable after a while and wearing it would give you a handy $9,125 a year
- 52kg for a week is very noticable but you could just stay laying or sitting and would earn you almost the same at $9,100
- 11kg is difficult but doable and would earn you a yearly salary of just over $100,000
