My Husband and I Are Thinking of Robbing Banks for a Living.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Being a Modern-Day Bonnie & Clyde? First, let me say how refreshing it is to see a couple explore new revenue streams together.

Some couples try pickleball.

Others—visionaries—consider felony-level entrepreneurship.

You’ve asked about becoming a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. I assume you’re referring to the 1930s duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, later rebranded by Hollywood as misunderstood aesthetes with excellent cheekbones.

Let’s break this down like any other career pivot.

Pros:

Coordinated outfits. Vintage getaway vehicles .A unified story.

Nothing strengthens a marriage like synchronized adrenaline and shared legal jeopardy.

You will wake up each morning with clarity of purpose. There will be a new sense of urgency to your whole day.

The Cons:

Banks do not store piles of loose cash in burlap sacks labeled “$.”

The glamour-to-prison ratio is poor.

The average criminal enterprise has a short runway. Retirement planning becomes… reactive at best.

Federal prison. Yes, that too.

Remain calm.

Write a book titled We Almost Robbed a Bank.

Go drink water and leave the vault alone.

Surprisingly useful.
