On the second day into the New Year, a 28 year old man accidentally killed himself when he attempted to jump the turnstile in the New York Forest Hills 71st Avenue subway station to avoid paying just $2.75.
After failing to clear the turnstile several times, his last attempt resulted in him flipping over and landing on his head. It is believed that he broke his neck and died instantly.
A life lost to simply avoid paying $2.75.
At the time of writing, that is just £2.04.
I know that I don’t know the whole story here; he may have been completely desperate with no money whatsoever.
He might have been homeless.
He could have been drunk or on drugs and not thinking clearly.
I cannot say that he ‘should have done this…’ or that he ‘should have done that…’…
However…
It really is not that hard to make a few pounds each day… not today anyway.
In previous emails I have shared with you the story about the homeless man who once lived in a tent in a park yet managed to use computers at a local library to make money and now runs several six to seven figure a year businesses.
I have also shown you how anyone can make a passive income using a simple fully automated passive income system.
Andi – our techy guy – built a fully automated passive income system of his own as an example for The 30 Day To £30K Challenge training; he built it within 30 days during the summer of 2021.
Why am I telling you this?
One day over the Christmas period while Andi was troughing on chocolates and watching Jason Statham shoot several bank robbers in his latest film The Wrath Of Man… he received notifications informing him that he had sold a couple more eBooks via that automated passive income system.
He did not need to do anything other than go back to watch the film and get fat.
Yet while he sucked the gooey caramel centre out of several mini Galaxies, he had generated enough money to pay for at least two subway train fares.
That money was generated from work he had completed six to seven months previously. And yet while he was relaxing and away from the office, he made sales.
As I say, I don’t know the full story about the man who lost his life while trying to avoid paying a couple of pounds, I cannot say what he himself should have done… but I can say this…
He would be alive today if he had paid… and if money was tight for him – and anyone else – we are living in the greatest period of human history to make money.
In a previous email I talked about the film In Pursuit Of Happyness starring Will Smith which follows the true(ish) rags-to-riches story of Chris Gardner who is now worth over £50 million.
In the early 1980’s Chris spent quite a bit of time in and out of homeless shelters, sleeping on friends couches and at one point he even slept on the floor of a subway station toilet.
This was happening while trying to make money selling bone scanners to hospitals and doctors while also studying to be a broker.
It was hard for him.
But if Chris had been homeless today, it would be a completely different scenario for him.
Not only could he be able to use a smartphone to send emails and messages to arrange consultations with doctors regarding his bone scanners, he could build websites and publish sales letters online through which he could make sales.
He could have contacted and attracted numerous potential clients via free-to-use social media platforms.
He could use his smartphone to make money writing articles and sales letters for other people.
He could use his phone to create products which could be sold online via fully automated passive income systems putting money into his bank account in the same way Andi made money while relaxing on the sofa watching films and eating chocolates.
The sad thing about the young man, who died trying to avoid paying the £2.04 subway fare, is that he died unnecessarily. It could have been prevented.
It’s a harsh reminder that life is – for the most part- a series of results based on our decisions and actions.
Had he decided to pay the £2.04, he wouldn’t have needed to try and jump the turnstile and he would not have smacked his head on the ground causing his neck to break and his life to end alone on the cold hard floor of the subway station.
Unfortunately, a lot of people cause themselves a lot of unwanted problems and misery when they try to save a few pennies and avoid paying for things.
Not only is it far easier to make a few extra pounds these days, it relieves a lot of stress and worry when you have money coming in passively on autopilot.
If there is one thing I recommend that you do this year, it is to build yourself a passive income system.
Even if it just helps to pay public transport fares or buys food and drink on days out.
It’s better in your pocket than someone else’s!

PS… If not for you, a fully automated passive income system would be a great gift for a child or grandchild. Imagine telling them that they now have a system earning them extra money each month and all they need to do is show the system to people every now and then.
