HOW TO GET RICH

Getting rich is a simple matter if one goes about it right.

If you will deposit one penny in the bank on the first day of the month and double each deposit each day thereafter, until the end of the month (30 days), you will find yourself rich beyond the dreams of avarice. Thus:--

----------------------+--------- DEPOSIT DAYS OF MONTH ----------------------+--------- .01 1 .02 2 .04 3 .08 4 .16 5 .32 6 .64 7 1.28 8 2.56 9 5.12 10 10.24 11 20.48 12 40.96 13 81.92 14 163.84 15 327.68 16 655.36 17 1,310.72 18 2.621.44 19 5,242.88 20 10,485.76 21 20,971.52 22 41,943.04 23 83,886.08 24 167,772.16 25 335,544.32 26 671,088.64 27 1,342,177.28 28 2,684,354.56 29 5,368,709.12 30 -------------- Total, $10,737,418.23

The reason more people do not succeed in this Get-Rich-Quick scheme is that they become discouraged when they get about 75 cents in bank and give it up.
