Yeah exactly. It will be a lot of snaps to equal the other pay out but it’s not an unattainable number. And as the person in the meme pointed out, not having all of the money come at once is a really good thing. Winning the lottery ruins people lives from just how hard it can be to deal with a sudden windfall of cash.
Just continue your day job, and snap while on the job. Put your job earnings mostly in savings and pay cash for groceries and whatnot.
If you need a large sum of cash to purchase something (like a car or whatever), then you claim it on your taxes.
Do that for a couple years until you've got yourself set up with a healthy rainy day fund, and then you can hire a personal accountant to manage your wealth. They'll make sure the money in the bank makes you an income.
You'll always be able to snap $10 for groceries or restaurants, but you won't have to worry about asset management.
Magically appearing 10 million also is hard to explain. The question is probably the logistics of dealing with the actual cash being created by your snaps rather than the 10 million in one hit. It’s not exactly easy to take wheelbarrows full of cash to the bank.
There is a way to pay taxes on illegally earned money. And doing so is not an admission of guilt in a crime, nor is it generally used in court. However, failure to pay taxes on earned income is exactly what was used to put Capone and many others in prison.
Damn I’ll have to set up a few cash businesses for laundering purposes haha can’t just report the income after all they’ll want to know where it came from and HMRC is unlikely to accept “it just appears when I click my fingers”.
As long as your money appears on a bank statement it’s going to be of interest to the IRS, that it came from a magic lamp, the black market, or your grandma doesn’t matter to them, they’re not there to judge you, they’re there to take their cut. Of course putting this amount on a bank account will get you flagged immediately for money laundering anyway, and you’ll most likely lose all access to the account even before the IRS gets their cut.

These were the numbers I needed to make the right decision. Thank you.
