Surveys:

The next time someone calls you to ask you to do a survey, do it if you wish. Or, ask them how much money they make per hour and find out how much money you will earn for your time.

Solicitations:

The next time you receive a “cold call–solicitation” asking if you are the person they are hoping to speak with, buy whatever you like, or, answer by saying, “Yes Dear. What may I do to make your life better without costing me any money?” You may have just done it.
