If you are looking for new ways to generate income , your hobbies may be the sorce.

As Cobra said there are profits to be made if you create the better mousetrap.

I have several projects that are focussed on my kids , for their prosperity.
But it may help you to get some ideas:

I have 8000 baseball cards that I collected as a kid.
I have a garage FULL of Antiques and Collectables.
I have a library of books and documents that date back to the early 1500s
A 300+ piece coin collection.
And a minor collection of precious metals and stones.

None of this offers any real fortune for me , but will do my children and grandchildren well.

I spent $220 on a metal detector recently. I also research history and collect artifacts and antiques.

If you are interested in treasure hunting , you have a better chance of making wealth that way than the lotto.

Plus it is fun and interesting.

The first thing I found that had value was a HOTWHEEL! , can you believe that.... this little car was made in 1967 , and was one of the first made.

I sold that little car for $55.00 to an enthuisist on-line.

Hope this helps.
Ya, thats what Im doin now, I got like 1000 baseball/football rookie cards(I only collect rookies) and that right now is worth a lot!! I got almost every rookie card there is for baseball and football! I also collect war items and have over $7000 on that. I figure by the time I grow up I dont have to worry about money cause all I got to do then is sell off all my collections on ebay.

Education and hard work will get you a comfortable to rich lifestyle. To get large amounts of wealth, you need to take risks. Open private business, investments, real estate, etc.

If you wanted to be rich, could you not just rob a bank and flee to brazil,mongolia, or Iraq and hide like some WMD?
