The current economic slowdown has lots of people tightening their belts, biting their nails and worrying about the stability of their jobs. As a public service to all of the men out there trying to survive these hard times, I present the following money making opportunity.
Mail order brides and babies. Ok let me expand on that somewhat as I can see that a few of you are more confused than normal.
The money making venture is one that you can do out of your house, and you can start up with a minimal amount of money. Just like those late night real estate infomercials. 
The first step is to buy a mail order bride on line. There are several sites that cater to this market such as Mail order Brides and Hot Russian Brides (I'm not affiliated with these sites and do not receive any sort of compensation for mentioning them here.) When choosing how to ship your new bride choose Fed Ex priority service, other options may be cheaper but they result in a very disgruntled bride on arrival. And a happy bride is necessary to get the "business" going.
Once your new bride has acclimatized to her environment, you can move on to step number two. "Consummate your new union." How you do that is entirely up to you. Some franchise owners have seen great success with everything from a bottle of wine, to a back rub, to Rohypnol. So use something that works for you.
Now we fast forward 9 months to the special day when all your hard work will begin to pay some dividends - the delivery day. The super rich of the world,who are unable to have a baby of their own, will pay big dollars to get their hands on your little Brittany or Tobias. Start the bidding at $60,000. 
This simple money making system can be repeated once a year guaranteeing you an annual income of 60K for minimal effort. You can always expand your "birthing business" by purchasing multiple brides and instituting a fertilization process that can allow for multiple births in a calendar year. The sky truly is the limit.
So laugh in the face of the current global economic collapse and start your own home based business today.
