The teenage businessman
We wish we were still in high school, then we could give this “life hack” a try. It goes like this: figure out what students want to buy from the vending machine, purchase those items in bulk from Costco, then sell them to fellow students for much less than those exploitative machines.
Of course, you’ll have to be sneaky about it. Only sell to trusted people and never to teachers, who are more than willing to rat you out, despite the good you’re doing for your school. According to the OP, he can make over $50 in profits every single day. That’s $350 every full school week!
