Greed is good
buy high sell low
When I got my first job at 18, my Great-Grandma told me to save what I spend. If I want to buy a new video game, I should put $60 in savings as well. It obviously doesn't hold the same merit with larger purchases, but I'm 22 now and have $32K in savings from following said advice and also saving in general. Compared to my peers that don't have shit but student loan debt, I feel successful.

>>1149997It's easier said than done.
>>1149823There is no reason interest should exist. It is one of the major contributors to many mass market failures. Payment for taking on risk only amplifies it, which will result in everyone being worse off.

>>1150540Kek, that faggot does post a few good things every now and then. Too bad he's such an autist cunt he comes off as unlikeable even through text.
>>1150540>what is compound interest?a beautiful thing that still cant save index funds from being low tier investments. if you want to understand what im talking about, dig around a bit and find the average returns of people invested in index funds for 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. remember to adjust for fees and inflation. then you look up how index funds are structured, you should be able to find this at the website of the fund providers. then you add this together and see if you still like them.
>>1150025>2 * 0 = 0
>>1150643Was just disagreeing that index funds will only give a 10% ROI over 20 years (although I know you were probably exaggerating). Its obvious they cany compete with some other forms of investment but they are a safe, low risk way of storing value and making returns.
If you've got $10,000 to invest and you own a business then invest that $10k into growing your business. If you put into risky investments you don't control then you'll be quite lucky to get a $1k profit (and if you invest in something shitty like eth then you'll lose it all). If you invest it into your business then, provided you're smart, it'll yield far more than that.

>>1149823Hi OP,Ive built about 200k in savings in the past 4 years, starting from about 3k. I did it mostly by holding a job and, you guessed it , saving and investing.I read somewhere around 6 years ago that i should pay myself first. So i put 50percent of my salary to savings and at least 20perxent to investments. Voila.
dont jew
>>1150107like food delivery?If so, I agree. I've learned this recently... I live in a building that's half hotel, so I can get room service 24hrs. It's nice, for sure, but dropping $20 on a ham & cheese sandwich every night is probably my biggest daily expense.>>1150303This, especially if you are a young man and making it financially... you are bound to have some friends who work minimum wage and need that $200 for their security deposit, or that $500 for their rent because they lost a roommate. Give it to them, and they use the fact that you're friends to delay recompensation. Try saying "no" just to see how they react. If they freak out and cease being friendly with you, then you know that they weren't really your friend. If you say "yes" and they never pay you back, then you've learned the important lesson that you shouldn't lend friends money.My advice: get friends who won't ask you for anything, just as you ask them for nothing-- except for maybe intangibles, like a listening ear or something.>>1150704I like this.
>>1150772When you hang out with quality friends that arent niggers, they dont ask you for money.
fuck bitches, get money
Remain objectiveHuman nature can still creep up on you even if you're an emotionless autist, you have to stay rooted in reality and always have some kind of objective justification for whatever you do. For example if you are tempted to buy the dip you need to think about what other kinds of investors there are, how many are speculating and how many are long term or institutional investors. Rather than looking at the price 2 years ago and saying "that's the floor", you need to look at what was happening at the time, the prospects for growth, what made it dip back then, what has changed since then, all without any confirmation bias. You will still make mistakes, but by doing this you set yourself on course away from mere gambling.
>>1150770you cant jew a jew especially when they give you their book for free
>>1149823don't stick your dick in crazy
1/ You can't get something for nothing -aka there is no such thing as a free lunch.2/ What's in it for me? The more a man invests in that question, the more successful he becomes.3/ LEVERAGE. Always have something someone wants or know something you shouldn't or have the authority to exchange some desired stuff for another. This is why people gossip.This holds true in business, love, friendships and even family.Your male friends value a guy who knows hot chicks and invite them to parties they don't know about.Your boss values an employee who can shut up about a fuck up or can spot his mistakes and make him look good to an even higher up.Your colleagues value someone who has a network or can cover up for them in the everyday grind."That girl" will value subtle social status and being able to be shown a good time. She treasures showing off a man.That holds equally true for your father and mother; they love to show off their children.Your siblings will value someone who always trickle some of the success down their way and avoids making them ashamed of their own lack of ambitions.

>>1150045kek. buy ETH
Sell yourself, get money. And jizz.
>>1149823If it looks too good to be true, it is. More detailed and finance-related: there are no investments that at the same time involve little risk, big payoff and little knowledge or work required. Probably a trivial one, but lots of people don't understand it.
>>1149992I was in the same boat for a long long time eventually my parents fell into some money and threw me out on the street you need to start hiding cash and buy a place of your own then one day on your way home from work just go to your new place and never look back bc ppl like that will never change or be there for you when you need them
>>1150828This may be the best advice on the whole board. This guy understands that money is a form of power. Don't get rich to buy crap. Get rich because it makes you better. Get rich because it allows you to help the people in your life when they come into times of need. Your benevolence during their rough times (gifts not loans) pay out big in the future in ways that you never could have imagined.

dont buy 1 if you cant buy 3
Plan your trade, trade your plan. Never turn a trade into a "position" because it didn't work out how you wanted.
Don't buy shit with money you don't have (credit) to impress people that don't really like you ("friends").Save your money for a rainy day. It's nice having something break and going oh, well I guess I have to pull $500 from my savings account to get a new washer or something.
dont forget to pay your internet billst. poor fag
When you are about to commit to a deal that has high promise but equally high risk, the first thing you should figure out is "how do I get out of this deal if it goes bad?"Seriously......figure out an escape route as the first part of considering any new venture.

>>1151465That's me. And I was home educated too, which socially stunted me for a long time. Fortunately I taught myself programming and turned out to be good at it, with happy freelance clients. So there's a decent chance I'll get out of it, but if I do, I'll have beat the odds. If it weren't for this particular skill, I think I'd be completely fucked.

>>1153360which program languages are most profitable for freelancing atm at what do you think it will happen in next 5 years? thx or the opinion
I've learned to invest all of my money in a chip heater, and because of it I'm now rich.
>>1153368Programming languages aren't like natural languages, where they're very different and you have to choose exactly one to specialise in. On the contrary, there are only a few basic types of programming language, and once you've learned a few you'll have no issue picking up others.I.E, a Java programmer will have no problem picking up C#, and a Python programmer can learn Ruby as they go easily enough.The most important thing is that you're flexible and learn fast. For one client alone, I've delivered projects in C++, PHP, Javascript (Node), browser JS (+HTML5+CSS3), and Java.For the Java project, I had almost no experience at all in the language; but I explained to him that it was very similar to languages I did know and I was confident I wouldn't have any issue picking it up. He trusted me since the other projects went well, I got the job, and it went great. And now I can list a completed Java project on my CV.So the most profitable language is the one the client wants to you to use (or whatever you want if they don't care, and they often don't). The trendiest ones are still Ruby (on Rails) and Javascript (server side/Node), but don't worry about it.If you're new to programming, I suggest learning Python to start with. Mostly just because of the obscene quantity of learning materials available, and how widely used it is.

>>1153385How did you begin making money with your skills? Did you get a degree in computer science or something similar? At what point do I know I am competent enough to sell my work? How do I find clients? Which languages are most in-demand by clients?Sorry for the interrogation. I'm very interested in this, and you seem like a credible source of information.I have limited experience with Java, Python, and C++ but I haven't made any large projects.
buy things which you will use a lot. dont spend too much time on using something just because you bought it. get rid of the things which cause you harm, distraction, cost space, time, etc. dont waste anyones time, dont let anyone waste your time.

Not at all. What if you make 100k a year and take out a loan to purchase a property for 1mil? Say the property adds 50k to your yearly income after mortgage and operating costs. You don't need to have the money to buy it up front, but you pay a fee (the interest) to be able to buy it now.You're the one with the poor man thinking. You'll find it difficult or impossible to purchase assets like businesses or property without taking on debt.

>>1150772It's quite pathetic to not lend money to friends.

Good debt can make you wealthy.
Greed is not bad.
'it is easier to increase your income by 10X, than 10%' Paul MckennaHe elaborates -In terms of mental energy, opportunity cost, available time, etc people waste effort on competing for promotions, professional career development, certifications, impressing the boss, asking for a raise, etcYour boss may give you a 10% raise after a a couple years, but it's a narrow road to the top, and he will be very unlikely to pay you 10x, even on commission you are limited in what you can achieve. Focusing on the 10x number changes your mindset, so that massive changes become obvious - you must change habits, work for yourself, set your own price, build networks, hire or share wealth with others, build a different skillset, business, assets, investments, etcIt's not simply a different ballpark, it's a whole new sport.
patience.
If you get laid off from work and you have debt you are paying, do not pay off all the debt you can, only pay the minimum until you find another job. This helps to buy time for you as you have more money on hand longer. Financial advisor retards will tell you the opposite and will also tell you to find a new job as quickly as possible. With more money and time on your hands you can take a little more time and find a better job.
>>1154953On a balance sheet. A paid off machine is not a liability. His statement is true.
>>1150034Fucking lol. This. If somebody is going to cuck and fuck you in life, it may as well be a girl you get to fuck back rather than your employer. I married for stability and peace of mind.

I could name dozens of pop stars who have horrible tones that still make money. The fact of the matter is, bieber practiced is ass off as a kid and was marketed perfectly.

>>1151997LOL, this reminds me of a few things and got me thinking.A friend of mine bought a car for £1k.He spent a bit on it.Two years later he sold it to me for £50.I have spent more on a pushbike.The funny thing is, I didn't need it or even want it.Nothing to do with the car, just that I knew fuck all about cars, had never driven one, taken lessons, or got a licence, etcHe just wanted rid of it and was sick of the expense, he wanted to buy a better one but having to tax and insure it, maintain it, then clean it up, the time and effort to sell it, arrange viewings, etc just seemed like hassle to him, but he also hated the idea of some wiley car dealer giving him chump change and making a fat profit.He kept offering it to me, because his other friends were NEETS and poorfags whereas I had income, and he knew I wouldn't play games with him, I would just say yes or no.But he would have sold to anyone who made a quick sale, sold as seen.He offered to me at £250. I said no, I don't want a car, and he could get more than that for it.A week later, he offered it for £200.I said no.This went on for about a month...£150?No, I don't need it OR want it.£100?NO..FFS...and you could get way more easily.We were drinking one day, and he decided he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted rid of it and said 'OK, final offer, give me £50 and I'll give you keys and documents right now.'I couldn't resist.I bought it, and drove it around all summer,With no licence, insurance, or tax. Until I crashed it and dumped it (my excuse is, I was stoned at the time)Fuck it, I got way more than £50 worth of shits and giggles out of it,And I cut my losses.

>>1156754You clearly have no idea what the current limitations of machine learning are. Or the amount of people interaction required for a good programming job. Programmers don't actually spend their time programming features. It's in communication, figuring out fudged requirements and actually quite importantly testing. There's an art to testing and creativity required. And tools can only help with that, not rob your job. If you can be replaced, you're in a shitty job, most likely in web dev that deserves to be replaced.

The hallmark of someone who is sitting on tons of debt.Related to this, the it is such a great deal, it is ON SALE. If it is on sale today, it will be again and for less. If you think you really need it wait, I am betting the next time it is on sale you probably won't fall for it.

>>1151159AKA - How to be a slightly well-off pensioner watching inflation and taxes eating at your pile of cash you wish you had spent. >save save save be frugal etcFuck this pleb 1950's bullshit.It works to a point.YES, don't be a fucking dweeb like I was throughout my teens and twenties and stop blowing your wad on useless shit and showing off.Buuuuut...only to a point does the old way work.Fuck your credit score, fuck your career prospects, fuck your qualifications, your savings plan, your investment plan, fuck it all.Avoiding debt* and saving a backup fund is minimum pleb tier.Most conventional financial products and investments are high tier, yes, but you missed the trick - the wool pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth, Neo.You need low risk, high potential yield assets or a business that produces Cashflow.Residual or passive income is key.Without that foundation, most will be putting laughable amounts for decades into high yield high risk or low yield low risk financial products or investments. Only business or 'unique' assets will create that income stream from Cashflow.It's premium tier.Protip - most are invisible and intangible, at least initially. If someone is selling it or marketing it to you - ask 2 questions first - 1) who gets paid first, 2) who gets paid regardless?3) why am I not in their position?Real estate and shit rarely gives you that safe Cashflow quickly, and a lot of dumb money is speculating, not investing.And it's still second or mid tier, it's oversold as a safe no-brainer.*personal debt. For more info, learn form Donald Trump's first bankruptcy in the 80's.He did.Most debts of his after that were corporate debts.

>>1160189Also, related to this - 'profits are better than wages'- Jim Rohn (Anthony Robbins' mentor)In the segment of that speech, He also said something like he went everywhere looking for advice and never heard anyone say that, until he found a millionaire mentor (Earl Schoaff) nobody was saying it in school, in college, amongst academics, etc etc - it took me 35 years to hear it put so clearly, because to say something so simple yet bold takes guts and balls and intelligence which is a rare combo.If you just read this, and you are younger than that, you just got a head start if you keep it front of mind, IMHO.Changed my life.Also, Kiyosaki (inb4 top kek) was asked something like what is the best tax avoidance strategy or structure and he said simply 'owning a business/corporation' I'm paraphrasing here, I need to check the exact quote, but he made his point. Even without complex arrangements and barely legal shenanigans, even the basic tax advantages are clear.

Honestly being Jew like is the way to go. So many people throw their money away, whether it is not getting a good deal or getting shit that they don't need at all.

It's honestly not worth the income drain and focus as step 2/3. It cannot multiply or create the time freedom or lifestyle that most really want.You are depending on a lot of things working out for you over decades with little freedom, control or leverage or options. You are lining up hopes and dreams and assumptions and luck like dominoes, and it only takes one to fall.>My guess is you meant "building a business is the only real way to wealth" but I'm not sure. I guess I meant step 2/3, after the Basic steps are in place (debt, harshly reviewing spending habits, saving 3-6 month backup fund or 10-20% of income) the conventional advice runs out of steam.These give you some sense of security or comfort, but there's no high potential there, or enjoyment.Plus, the facts are ->prices will rise>inflation will rise>taxes will rise and new ones will form>jobs careers industries change fast or become obsoleteAll this works against you in the long run.Fundamental is an income stream, ideally only using skills or low cost assets or business to create products or services or art that can multiply in value exponentially.Can you greentext the bit(s) you are not sure on?

>>1160189>How to be a slightly well-off pensioner watching inflation and taxes eating at your pile of cash you wish you had spent. Cool, I'll be retiring with this strategy in 10-15 years. >finish uni at 24>start out a job, living frugally, say average savings of 50k a year throughout your career>fast forward 15 years: saved 750k, which will have turned into 1kk+ through the index trackingThat's enough to retire in most of the world. Afterwards you just diversify heavily into bonds and live on 3-4% a year, depending on how the market does. You're keeping up with inflation on average, and have a solid amount of capital to enjoy the 50 remaining years of free time in your life.
>>1161893>average savings of 50K a yearWut? You making 150K a year m8? Taxes and living expenses take away more than half your income.
>>1149823Like all of life’s rich emotional experiences, the full flavor of losing important money cannot be conveyed by literature.
>>1161907This approach only works if you have a decent job with good career opportunities (lawyer, software engineer, banker etc)You might start out with 30k, but then later on save 70k, etc. I just took an average throughout the career, so I don't have to account for growth in savings as your salary improves. Personally, I'm an analyst in an investment bank, so as I become an associate and eventually a VP, the salary will improve significantly and so will my savings.

>>1162914LOL, are you serious?Never listen to anyone's advice?Before I shitpost, you are saying specific or general advice on what you should do or how to approach things, should be ignored,But listen anyway, if only to get different viewpoint and opinion?I sort of agree, but not with your last statement 'everyone is your opponent in this game' - I have got good advice here, even with all the shitposts, and that mindset would not have got many businesses leaders far, there are advisors, gurus, and potential partners, investors, strategic alliances, etc and you miss out by being too suspicious or secretive all the time.You can leverage far more by the benift of the doubt IMHO. I hire people without doing background checks because I deliberately design the business system to minimize any fallout from the start. Nobody is put in a position to steal or lie.But even smart and inexperienced people can be fooled or conned, so what chance do you have?I have to do due diligence, but I rarely care about anything I find.

Many financial institute have a hard and extended approval steps for getting any loans . Some banks or loan companies has a less complicated methods and require less documents .For example this company give you access to short term loans that are fully 100% online. You don't need to go in the bank . It is very convenient and actual for me.
