No mobile phones, no laptops, no TVs, no touch screen vending machines, etc.
Screen being defined as “capable of displaying a video signal”, so your LCD watches are safe but your LCD TVs are not.
Abstain being defined as “purposely avoiding using for its intended purpose”, your not going to lose by accidentally glancing at an electronic billboard, but you will if you keep watching with the intention of getting the information from it.
You’ll be monitored 24/7 and informed once the challenge is over, you can nominate any bank account to have the money double in.
What’s your strategy? How much do you want to go for? What will the biggest challenge be?

Easy, I can just read books for a few days and I’d be rich.
Double the amount of money I currently have?
So double the amount of money i have right now or do we start with a set amount?
After 15 days I’d have more money than I’ll ever make in real life… So, yeah. I’d do that.
Well, I’m off for a hike through the Lake District, I’ll be back in a month, don’t try calling me, the weird genie’s back and… Well, long story short, I’m leaving my phone here.
Double 0 is 0š
First, before we start, I’m going out and getting all the loans I can. I have some savings, plus my parents, sibling, and at least one bank will give me a loan based on assets and income.
Then, I’m going to throw all of it into a single account, except about $1500 which I’ll keep in cash for expenses. I’ll set up a temporary leave of absence with my job and move back in with the parents for a while. Once my dad knows about this, he’ll help me for as long as possible – so long as the money keeps doubling. He’ll check my accounts with my permission to confirm.
Oh, and I get a flip phone from a prepaid service. If someone needs to reach me, they can call and I’ll just flip it open to accept. No screen use, but good enough to function. As long as I have one of my old Casio analog watches, I won’t lose my mind.
Once we start, I just chill. I’ll read books, write, go out sightseeing, drive my car up and down the freeway, exercise a lot, and whatever else I can think of.
I should be able to start with about $250k, maybe more if I get crafty, and only need to go about 21 days to become one of the top ten richest people alive. Unlike all of them, my net worth won’t be tied up in shares of a company which I can’t sell due to liquidity nightmares
Ez
I have to use a tablet in all the equipment I operate at work :/
Kind of a weird question to answer without knowing how much I’m starting from.
Either way, I basically quit my job, trash all the screens in my home, buy a shit ton of books, a guitar, and a pool table, and just sequester myself in my home for the next 30 days.
You probably wouldn’t even miss the screens after a couple weeks.
If this is doubling retirement accounts/checking/savings/etc then I do it for a week and have more money than I would ever need to take care of me and all my loved ones.
As long as I have a day or two to prep, I rent a cabin up in rural Maine, buy enough supplies to last two weeks, and take the fiance into the woods for an early honeymoon. Throw the phone in the glove compartment and spend a week hiking, building fires, and making music. Easy money.
OP doesnāt understand the power of doubling.
Iāll lock my self in the house for two weeks and turn off all LCD, that will make $1000 into $16.5M.
I nominate Elon Musk’s accounts
Can you use self serve checkouts?
One cent turns into ten million dollars in a month. Another week and I’m a billionaire.
Fuckin hell for that I’d keep the restriction forever even after cashing out.
Go to the bank, take out the biggest loan possible, check into a luxury tech detox place and get paid huge amounts of money for being there. Exponential growth is so powerful that youād be a multi billionaire in a couple of weeks
Go for it
My first computer computer was a laptop with an LCD screen, with a couple hours of prep time I could set up an email client and text based browser to work with it.
Really that seems unnecessary though, I could just stay home and read books for a couple weeks and have a massive amount of money,
Nope, impossible. My kiddo on insulin. to check his sigar we have to use data monitor (with phone, so display) or glucometer (with display, obv.). So I pass, not gonna risk my kiddo’s health.
what if you’re in debt?
Do you mean doable my current money, or do we start at 1?
How hard do you think abstaining from electronics is?
Lol, this is not much of a challenge.
There is an old story where a king offers vast riches to some peasant for a nice task, and the peasant asked for a grain of sand to be placed on a chess board. Then, to double it every day until the chess board was filled. In the end, the kingdom was buried in sand.
So just start with a penny, it is more than you’ll ever need. Or, start with a dollar, and be rich beyond your dreams. Hell, you could buy the IRS and not even worry about taxation!
I’ll go for a year and destroy the economy
Yo, I’d finally get a decent number of hours for sleep PLUS have time to do home repairs and LEGO? Sign me the hell up.
Soo would my kindle be safe?
I’d need a landline and a CRT but otherwise, I could do that indefinitely.
Get rid of all screens in the house. Swap smart phones for dumb phones. The biggest challenge will be my job, which relies on a computer. I’d just need to go back to the old pen and paper way of doing things.
Lol, this scenario…. i could probably hit $4mm in cash by liquidating assets pretty quickly and then just peace out for a month. Google says it would be 43.98 trillion dollars after 30 days. ššš
So if I start with 150k it would take barely over 3 weeks (23days) to become a trillionaire. Thatās easily doable.
"Double Your Money"? Does that mean 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc? If so, count me in.
I have a lot of handcraft to do, maybe it’s time to spend some in my work bench
Iām good after 10-12 days but would probably try to go 14 or so. A lot of time at the library or book store, walking, sleeping, cleaning, gym.
So if I start with a thousand dollars and don’t touch a screen-based device for a month I have a trillion dollars? 6 weeks for over 4 quadrillion.
I’d have to get all the tech out of my house so I don’t have an accident, but this is way too easy.
25 days
Two weeks. I’ll be a billionaire and I will have spent two weeks scuba diving.Ā
I only could last the weekend. I need my phone and laptop for work
My family had a cabin in the woods with no TV and no Internet. We’d go there every summer and after 48 hours you don’t even miss it. It’s actually very calming to just unplug for a week in the woods.
Fck it, I have an E-Reader. If I have some prep time, I take all my leave and sick days, chill with my family and read. I can still do cooking, and my E-Reader has Google, so I can do recipes too. My current net worth is not something I’ll disclose, but after four weeks I’ll be plenty rich regardless.Ā
I’d just take a leave of absence from work, because my position requires quite a bit of screen-display tech, and live like a monk for the duration of the challenge. This is not really that hard given the payout. I only have around $2.5k liquid atm, and two weeks would still be generational wealth. I’d probably go for 19 days and stop there, just to break the billionaire mark.
Withdraw cash via human teller, pay cash at the grocery store, leave all my bills on autopay, and just live life. This is more of a blessing than a challenge.
If have a little prep time, can make myself a trillionaire easily. Without… do the buttons on a stove or microwave count? Even if they do, trillionaire with some work and gruel type suffering. Doubling is crazy powerful.
I can start that from one cent and I will aim for until an accident happens or as long as i can with the very least being set for life
Iāve got a dog and 3 kids, I have plenty to keep me busy.
Currently I use a laptop for my job but if Iām doubling my money Iāll happily quit my job for this challenge.
Outside of that, Iāll replace my phone with an old Nokia style device so I can still call my wife, which I feel should be within the rules.
I have an account I keep $100k in, so Iāll double for 7 days, maybe 8 or 9 depending on how greedy I get.
This honestly feels like a very easy challenge and a huge payoff
Well if I use my 401k then my someday grand kids are set for life after a week. Easy squeeze.
Iāll take 3 weeks please.
Easy. I crochet and enjoy drawing and reading. I also have some embroidery and sewing I could do amongst my other crafts. Yeah, this is an easy win. I go for as long as I need to. I can only start with a few hundred but I could go a very long time. Just give me a couple of days to print off some patterns.
I have an older stereo with no screen, and a lot of music on cd’s. I could easily get a temporary dumb phone, and read paperbacks. If even a dumb phone is excluded, that’s ok. I could get my landline re-connected, just so I have some way to contact people who aren’t nearby.
I could easily do this for a month. That’s more money than I could ever possibly need.
After the challenge was over, I could set up all my closest people for life, and we could all do anything we wanted, for life.
That would also allow all of us to do things to make the world a better place. Things like providing safe, clean water sources where there aren’t any, or not enough. Housing projects.
I would choose my regular checking account to double. However much I already had in the account, after 30 days, that’s an extraordinary amount of money.
I’m a trillionaire on day 25. I think I can avoid screens for that long. Maybe go to day 31 so I can pay off the US national debt and have enough money left to take over the government.
If I’m using it to listen to an audiobook rather than looking at a screen, does that count?
Two weeks would see me with just shy of 200 million, so I’m in for 14 days. My house is getting a top to bottom cleaning, and my garden will be ready early this year with no screens to eat my time.
I’d have to pick up a paper calendar and carry around a notebook, and Alexa can give me weather and headlines, but otherwise I can live without for a little while.
In a week or so I could have over 2 million, I would go up to my credit limit on my card and put it in my account, plus take some money from other accounts I have access too, plus maybe borrow, actually I suppose I could just take a loan. I really love my screens, my phone especially, but this would be different to it breaking and would have purpose behind and choice, so would hopefully not triggery anxiety. I’d just listen to music and read and draw, and maybe jot some notes down. 7 days, 8 maybe. Also it doesn’t say the days need to be consecutive, so maybe I’ll just take one day a week out, or maybe a month, and just keep going.
Easiest way to become the richest person on earth. I donāt need a strategy Iām just not gonna fail.
>you can nominate any bank account to have the money double in.
I don’t have to choose my own account.
I’ll pick some random American who is publically known to be under audit, then run the challenge for a month.
If they have ten grand in their primary account, it turns into ten trillion. If they have a million, it’s over a quadrillion dollars.
And the government will know about it immediately.
There’s no right answer in how to deal with that much money. Even if there is, the people with the power to affect the situation sure as shit can’t be trusted to use it responsibly.
No matter what, the whole country is going to go through an apocalyptic economic upheaval. There are a few folks down there I will warn ahead of time to get their assets out, but America is going to go through a massively bad time and will not be a threat to any other country’s sovereignty for a very, very long time.
Elbows up motherfucker.
This is so dumb.
X * 2^30 for doing this for a month, which is trivially easy for nearly anyone to do.
Even if you start with 1 dollar this makes you a billionaire. If you start with $1000 you become the richest person on the planet in a month, for taking a holiday and having a loved one (or hired hand) bring you groceries and books.
People need to learn more about basic numeracy.
Easy.
Pick my 401k, I’ve been investing in it for 10 years, it’s got 100k
In 1 week 12 million. I have a 11 month old kid, playing with her with no screens for a week would be insanely easy.
I’d have to get an old flip phone first, unless the rules allow use of a smart phone only for phone use.
There would also have to be allowance for things like going to a store where a tv might be playing and you might catch a glimpse or it/them.
That aside, I have plenty of books to read. If an allowance isn’t made for the screen on an iPod or the like, I’d need a few days to burn or buy some CDs and get a new player.
Heck, if I were younger and fitter and had prep time, I’d get a flip phone and some gear and hike the Appalachian Trail. Perhaps four months out there and if the allowance against glimpses of screens in public places was in place, you could well end up more money than is on Earth.
I will cancel all my current payments. Nothing is getting repossessed, turned off, or foreclosed after a single missed payment. We want a fat starting number. When weāre done it will be meaningless anyways.
Cover my screen in my car. Drive to a book store to get some books for entertainment. Maybe grab a couple notebooks and pens.
My job is now reading, working out, and taking care of my baby. My wifeās job is ordering us DoorDash and making sure I donāt see screens.
Assume I start Wednesday when my wife and I have both been paid. We will have about 3000-4000 dollars in the checking account if in stop the bills from going out. Assuming 3,000 starting, after 31 days i will be a trillionare. Hell if the account is in the positive I can get there in less than two months. I can make it that long. Maybe a few more days for good measure.
Invest all of it and make a trust fund to exist in perpetuity after my death. The dividends will pay off everyoneās student loans and medical debt in the US from now until forever.
Maybe make an ethical nonprofit bank while Iām at it, put some of the really nasty ones out of business.
My 401k, and I’m going for a month, I’ll pay 50 trillion in taxes to early withdrawal it and still have 50 trillion dollars.
We’ll be doing a week or so surrounding Memorial Day Weekend (which happens to be right after my kiddos get out of school) under exactly these conditions. Tents camping near a lake, way up in the mountains where cell phones are just expensive alarm clock/flashlights. Only change I’d have to make is bringing dead trees to read in the hammock instead of loading up my Kindle. Where do I get my money?
Im shocked that no one used the non consecutive day loophole but also I’m shocked that so many people looking at this "don’t use anything with a screen challenge" thought they’d found a loop hole that just involved them using a screen.
Iāll go camping for two weeks. Cover up my carās console so I donāt accidentally use it. I have $200 in my wallet, should be enough to stock up without needing to use the screen payment thing at a grocery store. Easy.
If I have time to prepare, I would rent a cabin someplace, get a bunch of food, books, board games, and booze. Less than 3 weeks to be a billionaire. Soloing Gloomhaven and Frosthaven should get me there!
Bruh skipped math class
Go spend a month on a beach with a stack of books, double your money each day, end stupid stupid rich. That’s a no brains.
Sure thing. I’m going until I can pay off my country’s debt of $2.942 trillion. Which is about 30 days , i’d probably go 35 days so I can set up a sweet sovereign wealth fund, be filthy rich, and I guess cover any taxes maybe chip away African debt and some other things.Ā
I go three weeks no problem. It doesn’t matter which of my bank accounts I pick, any one of them is going to be well into billionaire status after 21 days, and I’ve got that much PTO to burn. (just so I get that bit of income during the duration). I’ll stay at home doing nothing but read books and being a hermit while my wife does the daily outside the home essentials and takes over anything in the house requiring a screen. It’s a temporary annoyance to never have to worry about anything again.
Unplug the tv and lock up my phone with the remote. Quit work via landlines . fake a family emergency for the abruptness.
Drop by the local grocery store to get fresh and frozen fruit and veg. Re read the old Harry Potter books, do exercises . Keep track of the time and date and listen to music, news via google home.Do a whole home organizing .
A month. Become a multi trillionaire before the various billionaires. money isnāt from profiting off the poor.
Quit my job and go moto camping for 6 months. Hike the PNW trail. Etc etc
In 3 weeks I’d be a billionaire. It would kinda suck and I’d have to walk everywhere or get rides but honestly it’s totally doable.
If i can still purchase items using debit card i will just get gear and start hiking the AT. I’m in decent shape for where i would start, I would do the whole trail, and turn around if i had to.
That would be enough for generational wealth. Just gimme 6 months.
Would a e-ink kindle count as screen based?
Time to hike the Appalachian trailā¦literally.
Is there a you need a screen for work excuse? Like I need to chart patient info on a computer at work. I’d be good otherwise with some books and printed off copies of my own writings to read.
Seems pretty easy. Stay in and play board games, read books, and play card games for a month. Get a few buddies to do it with you and split the trillion dollars.
So go camping for a week?
One monthnlater I am, and will be the richest person for some time. As long as I withdraw from an actual teller, I can pull out the day to day needed money to survive for some time.
I go backpacking for 3 weeks on a trip I want to take anyway. Detox the screens and get rich? Sign. Me. Up.
Being a single mom makes this harder to manage, but I live next door to my mom and I could give her a cut of the earnings in exchange for being the primary contact for daycare and letting my kid watch a little TV at her house every day. I could take a week off work, do this for 9 days, and make enough money to buy a house, set aside a sizeable college fund for my kid, and invest the rest for a comfortable retirement. Or I could quit my job, do this for two weeks, and end up with never-have-to-work-again money.
I’d have to drive with the infotainment system in my car turned off. I’d want to either get a cd player and a collection of cds or set up a smart speaker to use to play music. Wouldn’t be able to use the self-checkout at the grocery store or library (relevant because all I’ll be doing during this time is reading lol), or certain cardio machines at my gym (sounds like I could go to the gym as long as I deliberately avoid looking at the TVs though). My eReader can’t display a video signal, so I can still use that, which is nice.
I would definitely miss my phone, but I’d just give it to my mom for as long as I wanted to do this. Unplug the TV so there’s an annoying step in the way of the temptation. The amount of money you get from doubling for even a few days is more than enough motivation; music, books, knitting, playing with my kid would be enough to keep me sane and occupied.
My strategy is being a rules lawyer. I don’t have screen-based technology; I have silicon-based technology that happens to use a screen because that’s most convenient for me. It could use a printer or refreshable braille or headphones as its primary output.
>Abstain being defined as "purposely avoiding using for its intended purpose", your not going to lose by accidentally glancing at an electronic billboard, but you will if you keep watching with the intention of getting the information from it.
So my kindle is fair game right?Ā
And I could also get someone to download some podcasts for me.
2 weeks for a billion. I think Iād stop there.
Get a load of books and pull a bunch of cash, rent a hotel somewhere in the mountains, unplug the tv and hand the remote in to front desk, spend onw week reading and drinking and hiking and end up a multi millionaire
Iāve already spent so much time like this anyways and it didnāt earn me anything, but if I could make money this way sure ,
I think i can cope by reading books. But can the restrictions exclude looking at library borrowing screens, accidental glances at transport information displays, my kids’ digital homework that they need help with and library borrowing kiosks? Now.i think about it, there are screens everywhere in this world now. š
Iād have nearly $2M after a week. I think I would book a cabin for ten days for me and my wife. I bet I could find one that advertises that it has no TV. Leave our phones at home, buy enough groceries to be able to cook all our meals, and then walk away with $16M.
Could do a little longer but not too long as weād be away from our kids for too long. And $16M is set for life type money. But maybe try for two weeks and make it $256M.
This is so dumb. Could easily retire in a couple of days… Just go camping
Bruh… I’m going camping for a year. Seeeee ya. Follow one route into and out of town for supplies.
I’d be richer than a few countries in a few weeks… guess I’ll be reading a ton of books at home for a bit…
How will this work for me. My job requires lookjmin at a screen to get info from it to do my job
I could go for 1 week and have enough money to retire making 5x my current income off of interest alone.
two weeks after that it doesn’t matter anymore
Take the deal, go on a 3 week fly in fishing trip, come out a gagillionaire.
Easy
Two weeks would be enough to be able to retire. And I’ll be able to work on that unread pile of books that has been growing….
I’d just live at the Chicken Ranch. Doubling my money is going to be worth more than I’m spending to be entertained.
3 days is easy. That puts me in 8 digits. 7 more days puts me at over a billion. Dare I go on? 10 more days puts me over 1 trillion.
Then I’d stop, purchase reddit, and purge the shit out of it.
So, in summary, 20 days. Easy peasy.
31 days, starting with a dollar gets me about a billion dollars so ya, sign me up
Man people really don’t be knowing how exponentials work.
If I have $1000 (assume USD) in my bank account on day 0, after day 1 that’s $2,000, day 2 it’s $4,000, day 5 it’s $32,000. After 2 weeks it’s 16 million. After 3 weeks it’s $2 billion. After just 30 days it’s 1 trillion dollars.
In practice, having that much money stored in a single bank would do weird things to the economy (bad things).
So I’d probably stop after 26 days with $67 billion.
Much more and I really start breaking things.
It makes me the richest person in Australia by double (when converting to AUD).
26 days is easy as, just tape any screens in your car (for me it’s just my radio) and drive to the bank when you need to get cash (most modern chip and pin machines use full screens running on a modified version of Android or Linux, so you need to be careful.
Then just go get some books and relax for the next 27 days. You’ll want to be careful towards the end if you’ve spent money, because depending how much and how early will change which day you stop at, so you’ll probably want to make a trip to the bank on day 25 to check how much you have (earlier if you’re starting with more money).
Does it double every day or does it double once only? If it doubles every day Iād just do it for like 2-3 weeks and Iād have generational wealth many times over.
If it doubles once, I could probably stay 3-4 months for it to be worth it.
Umm, like my bank account? Can the first doubling be x -2? Cause acquiring more debt doesnāt seem like something I want to do.
5 weeks and pay off world debt? Count me in. Oh, also after 6 week, everyone in the world is debt free that needs to be.
Easy. Pack up the SxS and head to the wilderness with a rifle. Iāll be back in a month or 2. Fuck work, Iām gonna be rich!
Doubling is…way more powerful than you think. Google "chessboard grain" to learn more, but I’d do it for 64 days. Even if I only use 1 dollar as the seed money, by the end I would have $18,446,744,073,709,551,615 USD. I would own the solar system.
I will be going camping for a while….
Grab my wallet and scrounge up cash around the house. Walk to my friends’s house (cars have displays, I’m not risking shit) and tell them I need some favors. They’ll be paid to be my personal concierge, in charge of everything from transportation, food, to buying me a bunch of books while I am blindfolded.
They’ll be renting me a cabin in the woods where I’ll take off the blindfold and spend a month or two building and painting the 40k army of my inner child’s dreams (mostly orkz), reading, hiking, and soaking in hot springs. I know a good area.
One month, if the doubling compounds on itself (so 100 becomes 200 then 400, etc) to avoid crashing the world economy (I’ll have them check the math). Two months if it only doubles the original (so 100 becomes 200 but then only 300, etc). Either both me, my friend, and both our families will be set for life, or worst case be millionaires.
Load up all the supplies I need to go camping and offroading for a month and come back a trillionaire?
This is a no-brainer.
Iāll do it for 8-16 days at least, 8 days would be more than enough to live comfortably off investments for me, and at 16 days Iād be billionaire.
Iād read books, play board games, and socialise to pass the time.
Does my 401k count as a bank account?
I got $3 to my name.
That would take a long time for that to be beneficial in any way. So no.
Guess iām reading lots of books. 7 days at least, 8 or 9 would set me for life easily.
No, I currently have negative money.
Rent a cabin in the rural area. Install a landline and old screenless phone. Bring my guitar and an tape recorder. Take a 2 week vacation/detox. Set for life.
Well, I’ll try for 31 days, making me the wealthiest person on the planet. This isn’t hard at all. No tech for a payout like that is a no brainer. I’ll manage.
Does using tech for work/education count? Yes I know I can break the world economy in like what, a month or two? But if I donāt I still need that stuff
One question, is this compounded daily?
Well, I would quickly lose my job, as it involves me using a computer, so pass.
Damn easy one time to go on vacation somewhere remote. Wouldn’t even need to be that long with the power of exponential growth.
Man people really don’t be knowing how exponentials work.
If I have $1000 (assume USD) in my bank account on day 0, after day 1 that’s $2,000, day 2 it’s $4,000, day 5 it’s $32,000. After 2 weeks it’s 16 million. After 3 weeks it’s $2 billion. After just 30 days it’s 1 trillion dollars.

guess whos going on a nature/camping retreat for a few weeks lol.
Stop making these so easy. Who would say no? Give me 1 YEAR.
The hardest part would be the next couple days, I’m not going to just quit my job and leave them hanging, but I need to fill out paperwork on my phone. Then I fly to Jamaica and wait until I have more money than exists in idle games.
I’m just going off grid hiking/camping for a year. After that we’re fixin some shit.
I pick my 401k account. I have (approx) $180k in it. In 10 days I’d have I’d have over $180,000,000 and I’d retire in ridiculous luxury in 30 days, after I have beaten elon musk to be the first trillionaire.
My checking account floats around 10k. It makes sense to multiply that because there arenāt any tax implications. Anything over like 28 days would completely crash the entire global economy. I think that would have to be my stopping point.
Alternatively, I could take it in my 401k and pay off the entire national debt with my early withdrawal penalty if I keep going for another week or so.
8 trillion after a month, starting with 15k. Yeah a month is enough. Go fucking camping and get paid lol
I could probably do it since I have two full bookshelf and some backlog I could catch up om
If you give me time to prep a few TTRPG groups before hand I’d be rich
I’d stock up on food and go for a few weeks. That would be generational wealth. Or maybe do it for five weeks of vacation and just rent a cabin. Swim, read,Ā hike,Ā sail and play guitar while becoming richer than Elon.Ā
I donāt know that itās actually possible to maintain that in many cases. Even some countryside drug stores swing the iPad-like card reader around nowadays so you couldnāt even shop without knowing youād be sacrificing that day to no money doubling. You wouldnāt be safe at many libraries and you couldnāt withdraw money. Most bill paying, correspondence, doctorās appointments, etc require a screen. Even trying to get ahold of someone in some city government office always has them going āfind the information in our ridiculous maze of a website!ā and so on.
Wouldnāt mind it as a passive background thing so I could give it a go a couple days a week maybe but I donāt think itād work out long term, even without enjoying reading books and manga and such online.
