It’s in caps so I don’t believe it
One should not assume $86,400 dollars each day, more like $360. You can live, but you can’t buy very much with this kind of money.
Was the original email actually readable because it had more than one paragraph?
Asking for a friend
The Bear Bryant this is BS. I wonder why the people who post ancient memes like this feel compelled to “add” a celebrity name to it. Not saying you did that, poodle. But it focuses the reader on the wrong thing.

Coach Bryant carried a motivational poem/prayer written by Heartsill Wilson in his wallet. They give out copies at his museum.
One very good way to make the most of your waking hours is to STOP WATCHING TV. Limit your time spent on the internet as well. That will reward you with a whole bunch of hours right there. (Sorry about all the Karens trying to fix your paragraphs for you.)
How do you know that Bear Bryant did not have this in his wallet? Just asking!!!
I am sure Lincoln had it in his as well.
Was this it?
Third variation ... do it at $15 per hour. That’s the original $360 per day I remember seeing.
“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss — good, not evil. Success, not failure in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.”
Thank you for the daily geezer email.
I smell so much better now.
*shrug* I thought it was good enough to deserve a little of my time to prettify.
This is a great example of abject stupidity. First the person who sent it didn’t actually write it and the person who reads it and thinks that everyone in the world is going to read it but instead of emailing it to another friend they put it on Facebook and Free Republic. I don’t care if they post it to Facebook.
