App Sale: You Are Rich

You Are Rich is on sale for free - normally a complete ripoff!

When the iTunes App Store first opened up in the summer of 2008, some jackass named Armin Heinrich released an app called I Am Rich which was basically a jpeg image of a red jewel that included some kind of "secret mantra" intended to make you believe you hadn't just flushed $999.99 down the drain. Fast forward to... uh... today... and now you can get the very same app for free! Well, not exactly the same app, but pretty damn close.

I never saw the inner workings of the original "rich" app because (a) I was never quite drunk - or rich - enough to buy it, and (b) it got squashed by Apple within a few days after being released. But hey! Now you can see what that app *probably* looked like on the inside for free... red gem, idiotic self-affirmations, and all. And then you can say holy crap I'm glad I didn't just waste $99.99! Yes, that's what You Are Rich costs on a normal day, $99.99... more recently it was $.99, but that's still $.99 too much.

So if I think this app is such a waste of time, why am I announcing the sale? Consider it a public service! If you get this app right now while it's free, you'll never have to wonder what it would be like to drop a single dime on an app designed specifically for morons with money to burn. Ok, to be fair, a lot of apps seem like they're designed for morons but this one, like the 2008 ripoff it's copy-catting, is in a league of its own.
