money glitch

Wealth generation bug

A money glitch is an exploit in a video game that lets players generate unlimited currency or duplicate valuable items—a bug in the system that breaks the intended economy.

The term has spread to real life, often humorously or aspirationally, for any scheme or loophole that seems to produce easy money: Working from home while my investments compound feels like a money glitch.

On social media, it sometimes labels financial advice or side hustles, though the framing can veer into scam territory.
