get-rich-quick
(used as a modifier before a noun) Of or characterized by generating a large sum of money quickly and (typically) without requiring much effort or energy. Jenny's always coming up with some get-rich-quick scheme to lift us out of this dinky little town. Always be wary of anyone who tries to sell you some get-rich-quick idea—usually the only person getting rich is the salesman. I know Todd says he's given up all the stupid get-rich-quick schemes he once peddled, but, I'm sorry, I still can't trust him.
