    Let’s do some math, shall we?

    Average person takes 12-20 breaths per minute. 0.05 × 12 = 60 cents a minute on the low end.

    0.6 × 60 = $36/hr at minimum.

    I was initially gonna say the steps one, but $36/hrs minimum just to exist? That sounds kinda tempting…

      I average between 8 and 10k steps a day, so 2000-2500$ a day vs 36*24 ~= 864$

      Someone pointed out you could loose your ability to walk in an accident or due to old age but you’d be breathing until the end, but at 3x the income you could easily invest and save to end up much wealthier than you would with the slower but more reliable breathing option

      But regardless of which option you choose you’ll be set for life, but it’ll still probably take you hundreds of thousands of lifetimes to get even a fraction of Jeff Bezos wealth
