Your own personal IPO today! Call your
parents and friends today to tell them that
they can have all the money you owe them
converted into stocks in you. If you are
going to be rich one day they will get their
share.
On your website anyone can buy stocks
using Paypal and so on, instead
of just
giving you money for the shareware or
other nice things you produce.
Every 3 months they can read about your
financial situation in a newsletter. Forum
on your website for analysts to speculate
on your future.
Don't take it personal if your parents sell
their shares in you to their neighbours.
At breakfast your son says to you: "Go to
work now! I want a better ROI on my
investments in you."

This idea is baked. It is the basis of loan interest rates, and plenty of businesses will by debt. |

[parents] "Nice try! Now get a job if you want some money." besides parents would rather yell at you besides letting strangers do it. |

I've done this. Although, I set an expiry date on them. |
