    Alternative answer:

    If I can get my money for nothing then I would like my checks for free.

    Edit: It's actually "chicks" for free. Also the uncut version of this song is offensive like only something four decades old could be.

      After reading through the other answers, I'm not sure of what to make of the fact that my first thought was coffee.

          I honestly rapidly went through a bunch in my head, my first one was real estate, but then I was like.. "no, I'd need to get tenants in that fast cause that gets taxed separately, not just income tax", so then my backups were either gift cards, or lottery tickets :3

          I ultimately went with the lottery cause it's less limited than gift cards, and even if they don't pay out all the time they have enough small payouts to get you hookedβ„’ so at no cost even what would be putting me in the negatives irl would be profits in the hypothetical :3

          And maybe if I make enough I can just hire people to check the tickets for me in the long(er) run hah

                  Go for the utility bills. Just a piece of advice 😊

                                  Still would only be 100% profit. Costed nothing to get them, so when you sell them, they will be 100% profit.

                                    My first thought was a local swimming pool.
                                    But infinite stocks would also be cool, I guess.

                                        Profit = (sell price - buy price)/buy price

                                        If buy price is zero, the division is undefined or the profit is "infinite" because you spent nothing to acquire the asset.

                                        Having a profit of 100% would mean just selling at double the buy price, but nothing stops you at selling at 3x or 4x, having a profit of 200% or 300%.

                                        To give a better example, try with lower and lower "buy price" (approaching zero). You'll see that the profit goes unlimitedly up

                                        I may be wrong, no attacks intended (better to specify lol)

                                          I think everyone in this thread is right. We seem to be disagreeing over the use of the article 'a'.

                                          The OP said it would be "100% profit" which is correct. This is in the general sense that they paid nothing so that any price would be pure profit.

                                          You're talking specific numbers, hence it is "a 100% profit". Depending on the price it could be any percentage like "a 213.75% profit".

                                          You're both correct! It's funny how English works, right?!
