    You still step far more during running or walking than breathing, though. Steps is still passive, and allows you to actually get in shape and front-load your money. Invest your gains and that covers the passive income aspect.

      Too much trouble. If I choose breathing I never have to worry about money, get paid just for sleeping. Until I die. I don’t have to worry about investing or saving, I know for a fact that I’ll have money if I wake up.

        You do the same with steps, just far faster. You can make 2.5k or so per day with steps, easily. If you get into running? Far more, maybe 5k per day. Even after taxes, you’ll be a millionaire or close to it within 1 year, which you can’t do with breaths.

        Choosing breaths is like choosing 50 bucks a month forever instead of 1 mil up front. You get your money slower and you can make far more with the 1 mil just by investing, even if you wait forever. The 50 dollars a month literally can never catch up outside of insane market crashes, and even then you’re only up 50 a month.

          Well it’s not, it’s $1k per day vs $2-10k. I don’t think you understand my viewpoint on this. I would never have to think about money again because it would always be there no matter what. I don’t need to invest or save. If I open my eyes, I made enough money I will have extra at the end of the day. It would stop being a concept for me. If I get hurt, if I lose my legs, when I’m old, it doesn’t matter. You had to plan and save and invest. I do nothing, I just exist and never think about money.

            You can do all of that with steps even if you moderately touch grass. It’s extremely passive, and you can leverage it to get in shape and make a ton of money in the short term if you need it, and can use it to invest if you want.

                That’s planning for absurd edge cases, and if you’re truly concerned about that, you can buy a treadmill.

                That’s like saying you could get shot in the head randomly if you pick breathing, because you look odd hyperventilating to make cash.
