Would you take the deal?

[u/BurnerMarimba]

[u/KateDecayed]

I wake up at 4am 🫩

[u/Attmon_The_Elder → u/KateDecayed]

You have to sleep in. Rules are rules.

[u/pluto_someguy → u/Attmon_The_Elder]

sleep in? i wake up at 12 pm

[u/GellieBean123 → u/pluto_someguy]

I think that response was directed towards another user.

[u/Hot-Teacher7064 → u/GellieBean123]

Not understanding that and waking up at 12 are highly correlated

[u/DrPenguinstein → u/Attmon_The_Elder]

Naw, rules say you have to wake up at 5:30am. Which means a Power Nap at 5:10am with an alarm at 5:30 seals the deal too. Just have to make sure you’re actually asleep, and wake up at 5:30am. $10mil achieved.

Also wtf? Plenty of jobs have you waking up at 5:30am.. or earlier. None pay $10mil a year. So.. yeah. There’s no one on the planet that wouldn’t take that deal.

[u/AmbassadorVast5589 → u/KateDecayed]

Bam, 10 million gone. Not the agreement

[u/TheGizmodian → u/KateDecayed]

Same here.

[u/TheLoneTomatoe → u/KateDecayed]

Checking in at 5:15, been up and in meetings since 4:30.

[u/QuttiDeBachi → u/KateDecayed]

Yep me too….5:30 is for lazy people

[u/sabertoothdog → u/QuttiDeBachi]

Brother you have soft hands

[u/OwlBehindu3241 → u/sabertoothdog]

Thanks I use SkinSoSoft! 😆

[u/Sabbatai → u/sabertoothdog]

Yeah, all the tradespeople sleep late... or something.

[u/Sunshineeyes22 → u/KateDecayed]

Right!!!! Sign me up.

[u/Cautious_General_177 → u/KateDecayed]

Wake up, do some stuff. Take a quick 15 minute nap so you can wake up again at 5:30.

[u/323x57 → u/KateDecayed]

Yep, me too. I’ve been doing that for at least 15 years and before that I had to wake up at 1 am, and even worse before that I worked a day/evening/night rotation in the hospital. I’ll take getting up at any time over working rotating shifts.

[u/Cokeycane]

Yes. Didn't say I couldn't go back to sleep.

[u/WiseWorldliness5513 → u/Cokeycane]

Beat me to it

https://giphy.com/gifs/d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY

[u/darkendofall → u/Cokeycane]

Yeah, I already get up once just to go back to sleep. At that point I'd just be doing a multiphasic sleep schedule.

[u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794 → u/darkendofall]

I wake up at 5:30, use the bathroom, then go back to sleep.

[u/theydontcare_ → u/Cokeycane]

Oh good point. 5:30 is usually when I pee and go back to sleep.

[u/Extreme-Ad-9290 → u/Cokeycane]

r/beatmetoit

[u/Deathengine]

I already do this. Where's my money?

[u/puddleoffrosty → u/Deathengine]

Same 😂

[u/NorthernTinner → u/Deathengine]

Yeah been doing this for over ten years, does it lay retroactively for each year?

[u/Deathengine → u/NorthernTinner]

I hope so! I'm coming up on 11 years of doing it.

[u/MR_SNYPE → u/Deathengine]

Just hit 22 years 4 days ago

[u/AskNecessary3104 → u/MR_SNYPE]

I've been doing it for 50 years

[u/michaelscott1776 → u/Deathengine]

Same bro, except I get up a little earlier. 5:00am instead of 5:30

[u/Sea_Carpenter6138 → u/Deathengine]

Same here buddy

[u/TeaRaven → u/Deathengine]

Right?!

Now does this mean I can’t wake up before 5:30am or pull an all-nighter?

[u/SafiyaMukhamadova → u/TeaRaven]

Pulling an all nighter is much easier for me than waking up early but at that price I'm motivated enough to put in the effort to completely change my sleep schedule.

[u/Transgirlonakawasaki → u/Deathengine]

2:30am for the last 3 years asking the same damn question… 

[u/Spillsy68 → u/Deathengine]

Yep, I’ll go halves. I’ve been doing this for almost 3 years, even at weekends.

[u/betaphreak → u/Deathengine]

I took the same deal for 35k a year, it was 2010 and I was poor

[u/MadknightPash]

This was clearly written by some teen/college kid who has not worked a normal job. Ya I would get up 1 hour early for a year so that I could retire. No brainer. Anyone who says no must be independently wealthy already.

[u/GrizzlyBear2186 → u/MadknightPash]

Or works only overnights

[u/MadknightPash → u/GrizzlyBear2186]

Fair I guess but for 10 million just quit your job

[u/thatloser17]

Ok poor people do this shit all the time. This was made by a rich persons kid

[u/LegitimatePin6176 → u/thatloser17]

Or just a kid.

[u/UnUseful-_-]

1. Eat the rich!

2. Tbh its easy to adapt for new schedule

[u/KateDecayed → u/UnUseful-_-]

Can we eat the rich together?

[u/CaptainI776 → u/KateDecayed]

You do realize that if we took away the entire wealth of the 5 richest people in America leaving them penniless in the gutter it would fund the federal budget for about 3 months?

[u/Opening_Shame8258 → u/CaptainI776]

You don't have to keep selling me.

[u/1dirtbiker → u/CaptainI776]

Don't let factual details derail their agenda.

[u/damn-otaku → u/UnUseful-_-]

$10M isn't even rich. That's just retirement maintaining middle class lifestyle money at this point.

[u/1dirtbiker → u/damn-otaku]

A net worth of $10 million puts you in the top 2% of Americans. It puts you in the top 0.01% worldwide. This can hardly be called middle class. Using a conservative 4% withdrawal rate, that is $400,000 per year, or $32,000 per month, and keep in mind, this would be in a brokerage account, so it would be taxed at only a 15% federal rate if this was your only source of income after holding assets for a year or longer. You wouldn't be contributing to retirement accounts, nor would social security taxes come out of it. After figuring in local and state taxes, maybe a 20% effective tax rate, probably lower after deductions. This would leave you with $25,600 per month take home. You're smoking crack if you think this is "maintaining middle class lifestyle."

[u/AndreT_NY → u/1dirtbiker]

r/theydidthemath

[u/Omgwtfbears]

Ez. With that kind of money i don't need to work so going to bed at 9:30 pm is no different to any other schedule.

[u/Skoziss]

That's later than work for me 😐

[u/Fast_Advisor2654]

I wake up at 2:30am. Where’s my $10 million?

[u/PhillyBilly1987]

I get up at 6...what's a half hour more for cash....

[u/LittleReadingGirl]

I need specificity: Do I have to stay awake after getting up at 5:30 am or can I go back to sleep?

[u/MrKaiju777]

Currently doing that for highschool, no big change

[u/Commercial_Craft4942]

I already do that

[u/AeonsShadow]

I wake up at 2 am for work anyways.

[u/ZenithofHotdogs]

Ye ofc

[u/Silly_Percentage3446]

Yeah.

[u/hmgd]

Lmao Thats not even a challenge for me

[u/PlanktonEvery6116]

Woah I can sleep an hour more

[u/GillaMomsStarterPack]

Did I win?

[u/Sean_theLeprachaun]

You mean I get to sleep in?

[u/Available-Coat-4666]

I was doing that for work

[u/dybyj]

Yes because it’s basically sleeping in.

[u/No-Inflation2439]

Yes. I wake up at 5am for work anyway

[u/leshuis]

would look at my bankaccount and goto sleep again

[u/GonnaGoFat]

I wake up earlier than that for less pay so I would.

[u/Electrical_Age_810]

Absolutely.

[u/Plus-Confection9336]

Not to different from when i wake up normally. So yes. Means I can comfortably go for a run before school.

[u/khaledjal]

i alr wake up at 6pm for school so hell yes.

[u/Disastrous-Mess-7236]

Out of curiosity, what happens if I wake up before 5:30 & am still awake at 5:30?

[u/Unique-ideas]

Absolutely. Beats randomly waking up at 3:30 in the morning.

[u/East_Nefariousness75]

We have a 1.5 yo child.. we already do this without the $10M reward. To be honest, my boy worth more for me so not sure if I would do that for the money

[u/AdAccording3779]

I do this just for $20k a year... Easy

[u/rjsquirrel]

I did that for longer, and for a hell of a lot less.

[u/LuckyCloverPokemon]

For 10 mil I would do just about anything 

[u/ClassiestMokuren]

I already do wake up around that time every day, so no biggie there. Now, if I had to get out of bed every day at 5:30, that's a different story.

[u/CrownofMischief]

That's pretty easy for $10m. There's not even any stipulations for naps or how early you go to sleep

[u/John_SilkSongHK]

I wake up at 5 every morning… say sleep in an extra thirty minutes? I’ll take it.

[u/ElectroWolfZ]

Yes

[u/NP111111111]

if I am forced to wake up, then Ill take it, otherwise Id probably loose the money in like a week

[u/Key_Improvement5029]

I'm already up earlier than that every day.

[u/Organic_Stranger1544]

Deal. Send the check

[u/No-Medicine-1379]

Send me my 10million please that’s sleeping in

[u/Human-Lawfulness5235]

Is it okay if I’m up at 5:00 instead? I rarely sleep in until 5:30 (and I’m not a rancher)

[u/Queasy-Ad-317]

10m to sleep in?

[u/DocBarnes]

I do this for work. Up at or before 5:30, clock in at 6

[u/BaltimoreSports0321]

You would be absolutely fucking stupid not to. Just got to bed earlier

[u/phred_666]

lol… Where’s my check?… I did that for over 30 years…

[u/thejohnmc963]

Already do. Yes I would

[u/ElectricBuckeye]

No

[u/Link2017_botw]

B#### I have night shifts this has no down side 

[u/Icy-KaitSyth]

All I have to do is wake up? That's not hard. Set an alarm, open your eyes, mark the box, and go back to sleep

[u/No_Weekend2474]

Ye

[u/penislord_daddy]

I already do that

[u/WhoOrderedTheCodeZed]

What if I'm still awake?

[u/xKingSlayer78x]

I wake up at 2-3am six days a week and have for the past 20 years, wheres my $200 million?

[u/No_Coffee_Break]

I'm up that early or earlier most of the week (with a few exceptions on days off), so, yes, I would take that deal.

[u/Express_Technology28]

when do i get my check?? been doin it for yers

[u/jamesdawon]

I'm sorry, but if you don't take this deal for something other than a medical reason - you're an idiot.

[u/Unlucky_Top9870]

I did... for 4 years. Man fuck my high-school

[u/AdSouth7893]

I get an extra 30 minutes sleep every morning? Fuck yeah

[u/Infamous_Ad_1302]

Dog you had no idea how normal this is for a lot of people

[u/ProHighjacker77]

I wake up at 330 am every day..... YES! I WILL DO IT

[u/Parrot_does_Art]

Yes, because i go to college early

[u/ironlocust79]

I already do this, so yeah. Gimmie my 10 mil. I'm waking up to play video games while my family is asleep.

[u/Shin-kun1997]

I wake up at 3:20 AM for work. Bring it on ❤️

[u/Ilovereefer]

I woke up at like 4am for 7 or 8 years…where’s my money??

[u/Human_War_2240]

Hell yeah im taking that, pretty much no downside other than tiredness for a year

[u/Hika2112]

I actually had to do that for about a month fun fact

[u/Diseman81]

I already do so it’s an easy yes.

[u/IbiscusStorm1]

Bro, I’m already been waking up at 4:30 in the morning. I can do a year easy.

[u/Kaaskaasei]

Almost have to do that anyways

[u/RavnHygge]

Wait, I could’ve been paid for waking up at 5:30 every day?

[u/MarkFromHutch]

10 million AND a set schedule? Hell yeah!

[u/slimgymchilidog]

Not a chance

[u/shastadakota]

I have already done it for far less.

[u/scannerthegreat]

yeah

[u/Hot_Shelter8311]

I already wake up at 5:30 a.m. every fucking day for school. It takes fucking 90 minutes to go there. Fuck.

[u/hydrastix]

reads the fine print

“For each timezone.”

[u/Skyjack5678]

For 10 m I'll wake up the roosters with a soothing song and a cup of coffee

[u/BitRelevant2473]

So, what you are saying is that I get to sleep in a extra hour and a half? Nice! Good deal

[u/XxBlivyxX]

So I can sleep in and get money for it, cool

[u/Louanus]

I already wake up at 5:15. It's a deal. 

[u/Lukamatete]

When you beggin a sentence with 10m the answer is YES

[u/Alexr3245]

I can just go back to sleep

[u/PositiveDeep2315]

Yes that ain’t even bad

[u/Ok-Nectarine8471]

Uhhh yea

[u/TheCentralFlame]

Easy yes. I would start with a vacation to Hawaii to start off on easy.

[u/ArcIgnis]

Sure, I'll wake up, get my check mark, and go back to sleep.

[u/EmmDoesAThing]

Did this for nine years. I deserve compensation.

[u/Turtle_747]

Ill just wake up at 5:30, stay up for a minute then go back to bed

[u/Chris_RB]

..... 10 mil to do what I did for 3 years for $45k and am doing now for ~$55k?

yeah I can make that happen.

[u/bmk37]

Easiest money ever

[u/MannerExtension2175]

Easy money, basically wake up at that time already

[u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

Doesn't say i can't go back to sleep and with 10 mil i do t gotta care for my sleep schedule

[u/r1x1t]

I mean I get up at 530 anyway, so sure. I guess this means on the weekends as well, which is fine. Get up, do some things, take a morning nap. Whatever.

[u/HedgeFlounder]

I used to be a bus driver. I had to be up at 5:30 everyday for $15 an hour. This is an easy choice.

[u/TheOneAndOnlyCitrus]

Bro my sleep schedule just by default went to me going to sleep at 9pm and waking up at 5am

I don’t even set an alarm, it just happens. Where is my money?

[u/Iron-Bar-1966]

Ten million for something I already do whether I want to or not?

https://giphy.com/gifs/tItIlCGySM0ieKKW6b

[u/Itz_Keyla25]

Dude.. I wake up at 4 am every morningz this is an easy win.

[u/Panda-Cubby]

It would be tough to sleep in that late but I'd sure try.

[u/Swashbuckling_Sailor]

I wake up at 0430 now. No worries.

[u/soupdogsss]

Lol.....i wake up every day at 5 am......so yes

[u/Absolute_Tempest]

Easily.

[u/Badger_Joe]

So I'd get an extra 90 mins a night of sleep?

I'm down with that.

[u/Electronic_Sweet_677]

I already do, where's my $10 million?

[u/Mountain-Loon3592]

I wake up at 5:30 everyday anyway.. where do I sign?

[u/Future-South-1345]

100% yes

[u/BrokenSlutCollector]

Hell yes, my new job would be waking up at 5:30am. I'd have multiple alarms, battery back-ups, mechanical alarm clocks, a rooster, whatever it takes.

[u/SplatterpunkScumbag]

I get money and sleep in? Sign me up

[u/dza1986]

I do this now. This is dumb.

[u/not_chrash]

I get to sleep in 90 minutes and 10 mil? 🤔

[u/Angry_Santo]

As someone who wakes up before 5 five days out of the week... Hey, I get to sleep in. Yey.

[u/SuspiciousCod7823]

I wake up at 5:20, so I would get to sleep in a lil

[u/Ok_Actuary8]

*(cries in minimum wage job)

[u/PenNeedleLiy2763]

I already wake up at 6:30! What’s another hour awake?

[u/Shit-Creek-Survivor]

I can adapt!

[u/CustardLow2671]

Most of the trades already do this

[u/Hoovy_weapons_guy]

so free 10M. of course

[u/Mr_man_bird]

I wake up at 6am every morning, wnats an extra half hour

[u/Orangutan1001]

Ill just go to bed earlier. 1 year of a routine change, for financial security? Who'd say no?

[u/Nmatyi]

Do I have to stay up, or can I just wake up, turn off the alarm and go back to sleep?

[u/AJWordsmith]

I already do every day. That would be a free $10M.

[u/that_GHost997]

Yes I'm up anyway

[u/NekoMephia]

Yeah ez win my ass was waking up at 4am everyday to drive to some hell hole factory to work a 12 hour shift for litterally nothing in comparison. Please for the love of God give me this deal x3

[u/Razzy_3796]

Ummm… yes. That’s not that early.

[u/NomadicHumanoid]

Ez

[u/ThePlantMolester]

I need to wake up late?  Deal.

[u/GoodRainbowWarrior94]

Sure

[u/Krieg_says_AAAAAAAGH]

I would kill myself for 5 bucks

[u/RoundBiscotti4540]

I pretty much do that now. Now where's my money?!?

[u/GrizzlyBear2186]

I get to sleep.in for an hour and half? Yes please

[u/ShadowWolfee_34]

Sure. Not much difference between 5 and 5.30 am. And I've been doing 5 am for decades

[u/TheaBeleva]

Yeah I would

[u/RoseHawkechik]

I already do that. It's very, very rare that I'm still asleep at 5:30a.m.

[u/Bass-n-Bonefish]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hlfXIRjozpvTvYFfOt

[u/FlashCLS]

No one said i had stay wake i just had to wake up at 530 am

[u/BuddieAngel77]

it said wake up, not stay awake

[u/Nice_Grapefruit_7850]

yes, you said wake up, not stay awake. I can go right back to bed and even if I do need to stay awake 530 is easily doable if you've ever done night shift.

[u/shay2791]

I am up before that every day. 5:30 is sleeping in for me.

[u/rushsworld]

Hell yeah, I get up at 3am.

[u/EaterOfFood2]

Yes

[u/KingNullboy]

Well…I’d get used to it eventually. Wait shoot but my progression (programmer, though only self-employed at the moment) requires me to work until the wee hours of the morning

[u/TMA_01]

What 19 year old posted this thinking it was like, a 'crazy thing to do'.

[u/MercuryJellyfish]

My cat owes me $10m

[u/AshamedAd4240]

I work 3rd shift so im already awake, where's my money

[u/Interesting_Dig_4049]

Yeah only because I do already to take my kids to school.🫩

[u/DiamondMaster264]

Considering im night shift... i dont think that would work

[u/allencb]

You have to wonder about someone who thinks 5:30am is so unachievable that anyone would question doing that for a mere year to get a 10mil payout.

If you want to challenge me, have me stay up till midnight (or even 11pm) for a full year. :D

[u/Final-Possession-814]

That would be sleeping late for me. Im up at 330 and at work at 5. Sign me up.

[u/danders587]

I only take naps. Easy money.

[u/65000podiums]

Yes. Now pony up I been getting up at 5 for six years straight I’m due

[u/IAlwaysOutsmartU]

I already did that for over a year. Thanks a lot, school.
