Get rich quick schemes

Post by fightinfrenchman »

So after just over a week at my new job I've realized that I hate working and want to never have to do it again. So let's all use this thread as a place to brainstorm ideas that let you get rich fast and retire basically immediately without having to wake up at any specific time ever again.

Sell some service which doesn't require you to put in any work other than initially. If you do go for some real estate investments which you should, get fixed rate 100% offset loans (more common in Australia availability by region differs) so you can remove the offset during/after a financial crisis to earn lots of money trading. With lowly priced real estate you'll often find options which will bring in a disproportionate amount of rental income compared to higher priced real estate so you can go for that if you can be bothered with managing tenants which can be quite a pain. Find something preferably legal which you can choose to put time into at pretty much any moment for extra $ even if it isn't something that quick to get into like if you get a gia certificate and do the cutting yourself that's an easy 15k a week or if you'd like to travel or whatever you could do some advantage play in casinos although you'd have to check which methods are legal in the relevant jurisdiction not that you'd be likely to be caught if you used a method that's illegal in some place but you'd rather avoid doing it illegally right and of course avoid games which will only give you a small edge, stick to what gives you the highest edge I'd recommend avoiding the jurisdictions where the best options aren't legal cus you don't want to waste time with some game or method that gives you a lower edge and keep in mind the better options will incur more startup costs for equipment.

Getting rich quick is a meme, but you can get rather well off in the span of 5-10 years with basic personal finance advice. Make sure to make the maximum $6,000 contribution to your Roth IRA. If your employer offers one, and you're fairly healthy, try and get an HSA/HDHP too. Build your credit as soon as possible, so that you can get good interest rates. An effective strategy is to mortgage a house to live in, and once you build around 20k in equity, do a cash-out refinance and use that money as the down-payment on an investment property, while you can still keep your home. This is far better than renting, because renters don't earn equity on their housing payments; whereas, a homeowner will have a sort of savings account in the form of home equity, that they can utilize strategically.

Very few people will have noteworthy capital while they're young, so it's important to pay attention to cash flow. Try and cut down on expenses as much as possible, things like netflix and cable aren't really necessary. You can also find some pretty good coupons to help lower expenses; they're almost always free. For awhile my mom was the sort to obsessively coupon, but you don't need to get crazy with it. Just casually looking through what's available before heading to the store is good enough. Credit cards are also great, if you use them correctly. Pay back the entire balance at the end of the month, and collect points/cash back. Because you don't pay interest if you don't carry a balance, and you always get rewards on spending, there is no reason to use cash when you could use a card. You can get some great deals with credit cards. I think Amex offers like 3% back on groceries. You can find others for gas, cell phone bills, amazon, and virtually anything else.

Your income is also important, albeit harder to change. It's practically impossible to escape wage-slavery making under 40k a year, unless your parents will let you live with them and pay for all your expenses. If you make less than that, earning a degree or technical certificate could prove fruitful. Try and avoid heavy student loans, however. There are so many "non-starters" among American youth, specifically because student loan payments stop them from building savings.

All these opportunities were afforded to me amd more, and it just wasn't worth it. What's life with too many floaties? You can't swim anywhere interesting. Or if you can, you're decrepit with age. Granted I started swimming with 15k worth of floaties, but it's depleting. And I'm starting my little doggy paddle now. That's mine.

In that case, just keep killing yourself until you get there.

I've tried hacking the matrix to give myself more money. I called up the bank and said "Hey, can I get more money on my account?" And the nice lady on the phone said "Sure!" I looked at my account and they added $700. Now when I use the credit card my dad gave me, I can spend $700 more. I don't know why more people don't just do this. I guess you just can't expect much from NPCs.

You are an NPC because you're "programmed" to have more money. Also the moon is too bright tonight
