Thin Air Millionaire

This blog is about making a million dollars from scratch! This is my blog about an interesting 28-step concept that I read about. You must start by finding or getting a penny from someone. I removed many of the original rules to increase the efficiency of the plan. If you want those rules, just Google 'Double your way to a million'. Anyway, here are my rules:

The Rules:

1. Your million may include both cash and assets, as long as it gets to a million


2. You may add your pocket change to the pot.


3. You graduate through the 28 steps by doubling your money at each step. Unlike the original, carryover is allowed from one step to the next.


4. You may make as many transactions as necessary to complete a step.
5. There is no time limit to any step.


6. Do not remove money to do anything other than further your game to the next step.
   


7. You may use loans or debt to increase your assets to earn your million as long as the payments for the debt are made from the money the pot earns.


8. You may also accept any charity or free items to grow your pot. This is anything anyone wants to give you. If you can use it, sell it, or trade it, do so.


9. You may sell items you already own to help you, as needed.

The steps are as follows:

1. .01
2. .02
3. .04
4. .08
5. .16
6. .32
7. .64
8. 1.28
9. 2.56
10. 5.00 (for simplicity's sake)
11. 10.00
12. 20.00
13. 40.00
14. 80.00
15. 160.00
16. 320.00
17. 640.00
18. 1,280.00
19. 2,560.00
20. 5,000.00 (again, for simplicity)
21. 10,000.00
22. 20,000.00
23. 40,000.00
24. 80,000.00
25. 160,000.00
26. 320,000.00
27. 640,000.00
28. 1,280,000.00

Let the game begin!

UPDATE: I decided to implement this nifty little thermometer for the million dollar goal...
