 * It depends on whom you're laying. If, on the other hand, you're just lying in bed, then the answer is "no".  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  05:04, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Velvet Jones (Eddie Murphy character): How to be a High Class Ho' : "If you just lie on yo back all day long, you might as well be makin' some green while doin' it, right ?". StuRat (talk) 04:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * If you're exceptionally ugly or deformed, you might be able to earn money in a freak show, by lying there and doing nothing except being yourself. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * If you have lots and lots and lots of money, you can find a reasonably safe investment that will yield lots of money for almost no work. You can also write one hugely popular book or song and live on the royalties. That will however take some initial effort (and talent). Sjö (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Kind of like the old story about a book called "How to Be a Millionaire" - "Step 1: Get a million dollars." ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:07, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * If you live in the United States almost definitely not; the U.S. ranks quite low on rankings of social mobility like the Gini coefficient and other similar measures; what that means is that, unless you already have a sick amount of money, in the U.S. you stand little chance of getting a sick amount of money even if you work really hard. If you aren't working at all, you stand far little chance.  If you're already born into money, you'll probably keep it, though.  -- Jayron 32 15:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It's possible if you buy a winning lottery ticket. Possible, mind you, but incredibly unlikely. StuRat (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
