Line 6:
Most people have careers that allow them to live comfortably, some people have very well paying jobs, fewer still have jobs that would allow them to be "rich", and still even fewer have Big Bux.
 
When a character wants to get Big Bux they often don't try more common varieties of accruing wealth like bumping off rich relatives, stealing, or being a miser. They go for a [[Get Rich Quick Scheme]] sometimes resulting in a [[If I Were a Rich Man]] moment and often overlapping with a [[Zany Scheme]] or [[Step Three: Profit]].
 
Common variations of this trope is that the Get Rich Quick person thinks working is a [[Get Rich Quick Scheme]] or that they fall for someone else's [[Get Rich Quick Scheme]].
Line 16:

* ''[[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'', part four. Josuke, Okuyasu, and Fatty come up with a way to use Fatty's Stand to get rich in a hurry (have Harvest seek out discarded lottery tickets). They actually expected a more modest return than the ticket Harvest ''did'' find, but that one was ''plenty''...(Too bad Josuke's mother confiscated the ticket winnings for investment)
