[How can I make money at 18? No.19456355]

I played video games hours a day and watched youtube, looked up stuff on internet and learned, made me a bit smarter but I still have nearly no skills or work ethic for a 9-5

>made me a bit smarter

how smart were you before? like eleven grade smart ? If you are living home then any wage-cuck will do for the next year.
If you smart smart fake your resumes.
If you smart just finish College? then see.

Maybe stick to sucking cock 24/7, just maybe.

Idk what country you are from, but I'm in Europe and half assed my way through highschool without much effort. Currently in uni studying IT(math exam counts here, not gpa unless you go study medicine). If you couldn't just show up for the minimum classes and just study/cheat for the tests, then most likely you are just retarded or you hanged out with degenerate "party" people.

If you are looking for a way to make first world standard wage(€800+ a month min) without any skills or qualifications, then the only thing left for you is criminal/borderline illegal shit. Reselling fake iPhones, reselling drugs, fake tickets etc from DNM. If you think you will somehow make any kind of ok money from just sitting in your parents' home then you are mistaken.

When I was 17 3 years ago, I did some shady stuff, made $4k, put that into crypto, traded some shitcoins until I just went all in to LINK. Now I have about $82k in LINK.

Highschool dropout aswell, currently have a 3.4 gpa at university and had a 3.7 my fourth semester (previous semester).
Continuing on my situation, I was raised pretty badly. I was suicidal/extremely depressed. I don't blame myself for my past and only look foward. I am slightly resentful towards my family, but I am still there for them (my brother dropped out, as well). I had a lot of basic hurdles to overcome, but now I am passing up all my peers. My life has been very exciting, meaningful and I have an extremely bright future. I am 21 right now and can my plans have worked out perfectly, so far.

My advice to you:
Get a skill and a long term plan if you wants lots of capital. A lot of people here want to tell you "oh this one investment had made me millions of 1,000 dollars". Learn to invest and apply yourself to it, that is not a bad idea. But, I would not tell you to rely on that sort of investing to get you rich. Learning to chart and fundamental analysis is a good idea.
Furthermore, you need a skill. A high paying skill. Engineering, business, medical, computer science, information technology, trades (don't recommend) or like 500 other fields you need to get a skill.
What most people don't tell you, is that a vast majority of millionaires are developed men in their early 30's. This is the statistical reality. White and Asian dudes in their early 30's who busted their ass in their 20's.
Do not waste your time on these minimum wage jobs, they have a 30% turn-over rate in the first week. Find something that will get you 65,000 in a few years, a single dude making 65,000 in a one bedroom apartment is A LOT of fucking money.
I will be 25 pulling around $85,000.00 in a midsize city. This is literally obtainable for everybody. You can be driving an m3 around the city comfortably, putting money away, nice apartment, money going into investments and finding ways to start your own business.
Making money is a lot easier when you already have some.

>>19457278
You can also finish high school from home if you don't feel like being in a class with younger students, once you graduate you can get a better wagie job. You probably don't find high school interesting but it open doors and you could also change highschool sector at your age, I don't know how it works in your country but I was in the "general scientific" sector and I wish I changed sector for something more specific and easier.. would have spent less time "retrying" and feeling lonelier

[Anonymous No.19457973]

Here is me currently, I lost 100lbs. 95% of the time, highschool dropouts are victims of circumstance and had shit tier environment they were raised in. It has given me a very good perspective on life and why people act they way they do.
>>19456355
That can either inspire you, or you can be a victim? I will tell you, not being a victim, not empowering my abusers and pushing towards the biggest goals I possibly can has made me a much better person. You have a good perspective on life, trust me. Keep going.
Learn to apply yourself. Learn to improve. Don't listen to anyone else, focus and everyday let your conviction grow.

[Anonymous No.19458078]

>>19457278
You have an all or nothing mindset. You need to learn enjoy the process. You know how famous people say "I love my work, so it is not really work"?
You gotta drop the aversion to work, learn to enjoy the process of improving yourself and find something that is
A. Practical
B. Will lead to a lot of personal growth
C. Opens doors to not only high salaries, but millions of dollars
For most people, that is college and looking into yourself spiritually. I would highly recommend the two.

[Anonymous No.19458094]

>>19456355
There are lots of little jobs and side hustles you can do. You might want to look into food delivery driver for starters, Uber or Lyft, becoming a registered agent for corporations, and be a process server. You could also get a job sitting on your butt during graveyard shift doing private security, and use the time to study, invest, and start a business. Yeah, it'll suck but the alternative might be worse. Live cheap for 10 years, save, and invest will provide a lot of dividends in the future.

Lots of ways to make money online, it all comes down to what you're skilled in. Examples:
Teaching -> Could be anything, from languages to cooking to writing to video editing etc.
Provide a service -> Music production, video editing, programming e.g. web development (you can learn coding online), drawing art, writing blog posts, running a marketing campaign, etc.
Not super familiar with the best websites to find opportunities but I guess fiver and upwork are some places to look into. You could also do your own thing depending on your skills, like running a youtube channel on cooking or language learning or even just driving and rambling about life if people are into what you say, or create a business because you've noticed there is no sushi place where you live and you think people would love sushi. You get the point

literally had no interest in finding work in this shit broken economy, I saw how retarded the job market was when doing my internships pre graduation and havent sent a single application this whole year because every opening is tantamount to slavery
the old sayings on patience are true, so glad I waited while my friends from uni are stuck with 5 year contracts earning peanuts, now that shitstorm has started I can finally see more opportunities available, I guess companies are finally getting rid of those old hasbins that refuse to retire and have been keeping the young out of the market for years
