Have you ever known someone who just can’t get up in the morning? Of course you have, we all have. Maybe you’re one of those people yourself. Well, maybe the proper motivation has yet to be applied. Maybe it’s time to put some money on the line in as visual and immediate of a fashion as possible, with the money shredding alarm clock.

I think it’s pretty self explanatory, but I’ll go ahead and explain it anyway: pre-load it with money the night before (apparently hundreds if you’ve got ‘um), when the alarm goes off, get up and turn it off, or face the consequences.

It’s amusing, but I have to tell you, I don’t think it will work. I’ve seen people ruin their lives by not getting up on time. A couple of bucks here and there isn’t going to change anything. And besides, you’re in no state to make rational decisions at that point. When you wake up really, really early in the morning, if someone told you, “Hey, give me $100 and I’ll let you go back to sleep!”, you’d take it in a heartbeat.
