Blinging the 401k - Strategy 1: Beanie Babies

Step 1: Buy, buy, buy! Collect as many Beanie Babies as possible. The more, the merrier.

Step 2: Store them in a safe, climate-controlled environment. You don't want your Patti the Platypus to get all soggy.

Step 3: Trade them with your friends and family. Who needs cash when you can have a Peso the Penguin?

Step 4: Sell your collection on eBay. Good luck with that.

Step 5: Declare bankruptcy and start over. Ah, the circle of life.
