10 Comic Book Hero Solutions To Fix Your Financial Problems

9. Travel (Usagi Yojimbo)

If you're too restless waiting for destiny (there's your first mistake buddy), why not a change of scenery? And believe it or not, you wouldn't even need money! You might want to think about getting a sword, though. Like many comic book heroes, everyone's favorite samurai rabbit is essentially homeless, in his case as a ronin. Yet, also like many comic book heroes, Miyamoto Usagi is constantly able to find use for himself nonetheless, and, most importantly, for free, in arguably the healthiest way of all. Not bogged down by things like car payments, mortgages, and heating bills, Miyamoto Usagi is able to enrich himself by traveling the country of an alternate feudal Japan. With nothing to interrupt his thoughts except for maybe the occasional chirp of a tokage, Miyamoto Usagi can freely enjoy air, peace, and exercise for wonderful periods of time. Most importantly, wherever he goes, he always finds a never-ending supply of hospitable people who will feed him and give him shelter€”again, for free. Here's where that sword comes in. Usagi is almost never bored, because not only is the world an amazing place to behold, but Usagi always somehow becomes entangled with some kind of conflict. In a world where work is based on honor and results rather than pay, that is the best life anyone can have.
