Me.
I don’t really care what makes more money, id just take the walking one to incentivise me to walk more. id rather be healthy than slightly richer
I have tthe benefit of a smart watch, so I know my stats quite well. Over the long term, I average 13 breaths per minute, or 18,720 breaths per day. That translates into $936 per day. When not injured, I average 22,000 steps per day, which would get me $5500 per day (currently injured, so no running, so I’m down to 12,000 steps or $3000 per day). Breathing would win only if I averaged fewer than 3744 steps per day. I think I get more just walking to my corner newsagent and back.
This is a question of passive income vs active.
Passive is king. You breath when you sleep. When you get too old to walk, you still breath.
The average human takes 20000 breaths per day. For comparison, the average American take 4700 steps a day so steps actually win since the break even point is around 4000 steps.
For anyone curious (1000000/50)/12 is 1666.66 which is how many years you would have to live to make a million dollars.
Also should be noted, if you took that 1 mil and just put it in a bunch of high-interest savings accounts, you’d be averaging a little over $3k/month just in the interest earned.
It does make me wonder, at what point is the guaranteed $x a month a better call than one lump 1 mil?
Let’s say you walk 10,000 steps a day. That’s $2500 per day. Sounds like a lot right? How long would it take you to become a billionaire? 400,000 days or just under 1100 years. That’s for 1 billion dollars. Bezos is worth 192.4 billion… Billionaires should not exist and the world would be better off if we ate them.
Not for us. We’d be full of gross billionaire flesh. Ew.
You’ve got a point. Maybe we should feed them to tigers or something
I doubt you average less than five breaths per step considering all the time one spends not walking, so this is really a no-brainer
Personally id still choose the per step so I stay active. Although the amount of time I spend on video games would make a dent in my profits.
breath! I breathe while I am asleep, case closed.
Average 18 breaths a minute 60 minutes an hour 24 hours in a day
$1296
You make more if you walk more than 5184 steps a day. Which you probably do
Bold of you to assume I walk that much
I average 6k and am very sedentary 😬
