Blindman's guide to the treasury (HS2023)

Ding dong – non surprise awaits in your inbox! Despite the persistent bank emails, I decided to face the inevitable . The warning flashed in red: "Your expenses surpass your income." Determined not to look and turn things around, I embarked on a wild spending spree with my last hundred on Amazon.

First up, a slick pair of dentist loupes for $34.99 – a steal on Black Friday. To complete the ensemble, a guide stick pickup tool for $15.99, signal tape for $5.99, and the pièce de résistance, a bodycam for $43.99 from eBay.

Now armed with my newfound accessories, I raided my closet for the perfect disguise. Day one of my mission: scouting jewelry stores and fancy eateries in town , mainly to scavenge the tiles and grooves looking for treasure like a kung-fu master doing the blind man's act, I even snagged a copy of "Being Blind for Dummies."

Fast forward" six months later "French accent", and my alter ego has a whopping four million followers and a daily viewership of six hundred thousand..

As I stroll into my freshly acquired villa, with my Lambo car kit on standby, it's clear – it was all or nothing.

An amusing and alternative rags-to-riches story, 0bserver1.

I'm still trying to work out what the signal tape was for.

For creating an illusion of blindness by subtly incorporating red tape onto the stick. As for my entry , it's been a while for me, and I'm unsure if it aligns with the contest. Nevertheless, navigating through inflation and soaring prices could potentially offer a unique perspective


Thanks

Ok, thanks, that's makes sense and is a clever solution.

No worries with the theme, your story is perfectly aligned.

Thanks I never heard of that book , but I stole the idea from a homeless man that got interviewed, he walked the streets with his eyes fixed to the ground and made a firtune finding gold ,diamonds and coins

Wow that is really cool!

The protagonist better watch out though. There is a very popular YTuber I watch. She was making a fortune, then other people glommed on, posting about her. Making money on her name. Now there's a lawsuit, filed by a glommer.
