Tips on getting rich

My own "get rich with a time machine" plan was to go back in time and buy up every copy of Action Comics #1.

I figured out the fatal flaw with this plan (aside from machines that let you travel backwards in time not existing): you return to the future and find that nobody knows who Superman is because you bought up every copy of Action Comics #1, which is, in the revised timeline, only notable because it sold really well yet nobody seems to have read it.

Honestly?

more than one income stream, as many as possible or reasonable. I have my full time day to day that makes me more than enough, I have side company I do when I can and my partner has as his day to day so really I work part time there when I can but he's doing it for a living, meaning I do well off his work.

Invest and pay yourself first always, don't mirco manage stocks etc, unless you day trade for a living.

Love what you do and be willing to do it when you hate it, if that makes sense. Good old hard work pays off.

Network, people with money real money, tend to have ways to help you and want to.

-Save save save. Young people have no idea what it means to actually save money. It's not about having an extra $500 in savings, it's about putting an extra $1,000 in savings every single month. It may sound like too much, but adjusting your spending habits will help accumulate your money.

-Do not go into debt for any reason whatsoever. Having a good credit score will be useful for paying off your mortgage and car insurance. If you went to a shit-stain university and are in $200,000 in debt for a liberal arts degree, then give up on life, work at a hipster cafe, and move to Austin, TX.

-Cut out facets of your life that are both expensive and bad for your health. Fast food, smoking, and overdrinking are major money sinks. If you don't have the self control to lower your consumption of such activities, then you will not live in luxury. (unless you're Amberlynn Reid and consider eating to be life's greatest luxury)

-You can try attracting someone who is rich and vicariously live through their success. Do whatever it takes to get a rich person to want to fuck you. This may take work if you're ugly or socially inept.

-Take a risk. Whether it be starting a business, gambling at the casino, or pulling an Elliot Rodger with the lottery, you can try testing your luck to see if you can get rich.

All I know is that a career in STEM will get you upper-middle class, but it won't get you rich. Same with the military. For that matter, I don't think a "career" in anything will get you rich. You've gotta be a scammer and a people person.

Don't buy a fucking hot-tub.

No


In all seriousness, get rid of clutter in life. Think about what you really want vs what you feel compulsed to but. Do you really want that shirt, are you going to use it? How about that decice, or that figurine? Figuring out what you will actually use and what you won’t even look at if you buy it is important for young people to start saving.
