Its more like spend less money than you make and learn about low cost index investing. Obviously there are lower limits to that. Especially for families.

I moved to a place in the country where cost of living to pay ratio is better.

dolla dolla bill y'all

The problem is that by far most jobs are in the city.

I applied for jobs first and moved to the place where I got one.

Crash Rude Elephants About Me

That's nearly always been the way to make money.

Look up most of the mega rich people now, even the "self-made" ones and you'll find 99/100 of them came from money.

The other way is luck. Be in the right place at the right time with the right skills to take opportunity's hand... and pull the ladder up behind you so nobody else can follow.

Trick or steal

Is that a band name and song title, or are you experiencing aphasia? 🤔

*1980-?

Bit of both, The White Room immediately came to mind and so I wanted to see if Clapton and others named their band after an acronym, only to discover that they didn't. So I made one: Clapton Really Eats Ass Mostly

Honestly though. I wanted to look into starting a business some years ago and most everything required you to have ass loads of money before you could get a loan.

Damn, was really hoping it was "crypto"

This is how capitalism worked from the beginning. Nothing new, just progressively worse and worse.

Adam Smith------->today

"The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope."

But we'll need to GoFundMe for it.

That’s my plan right now

how to make 1 million?
start with two million!

"Cash Rules Everything Around Me" for anyone else who, like me, had no idea what the title acronym stood for.

Don't we love capitalism!

-10k I bet Göbekli Tepe had rich people problems

Ah yes, genius! Why doesn't everyone think of this...

Oh yeah, because the only reason that's possible is because there's less people there. There are less people there because there are less job opportunities. By definition not that many people that take advantage of that. There's simply not enough jobs available that will allow you to live there. If everyone could do that there would be no cost advantage. It worked out that you found a job that covers the cost of living in a low cost of living area. That is uncommon.

Ah yes, investing, the thing that makes billionaires more powerful and that they control through investment firms. Good thinking!

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Absolutely, if I had 2 million dollars (which if you ask me isn't that crazy anymore) and put it all into simple things like CD's at 4% for 1 year i would make $150k a year which I could just live off. After all taxes I would still walk away with more than I currently make yearly.

Now how do I get my hands on that? Anyone know anyone?

It's true. And any rich person that tells you otherwise is lying (potentially to themselves). This is why I am a big fan of Gary Stevenson who came from a working class background, got rich, and is now actively working his butt off trying to extend the ladder down to the rest of us. I recommend everyone read his book The Trading Game.

you forgot "steal 1 good idea to make billions then burn millions on your own 20 crappy ideas"

Maybe somebody should tell landlords to leave families some money for investments after paying rent.

Nothing makes money more then money

Capitalism!

God, the whole concept is just gross

Well yeah that's how sprawling suburbs came to be. Most people work in cities but then they are often too expensive to live in.

Fucking rocket sled Tesla trash. Like, the idiot that buys it will never drive it; it’s going to kill someone, if used daily.

Usury used to be illegal, and IIRC, it is in some Muslim countries. But banks and such.

Ive taken to just buying stuff if I can. Because stuff has actual value, and our money value is dropping like a rock. But real things especially in the technoligarch avian intelligence future, will be worth a lot more.

Thats the bullshit with capitalism. The folks who started it and got in early won. The late joiners are fucked. Its a stupid ass system.

Like any other pyramid scheme, to be honest...

Oh, I thought it meant "In a white room, with black CuRtains, dEvAstatioM"

The investor class has been hoovering up all of the money, if you don't have money to invest in the stock market and are relying on wages alone then inflation is destroying your wealth. The US stock market is highly dependent on a few really shaky AI companies but it's also going to be the most resilient if/when everything goes south for everyone. Good luck everyone!

Literally. Buy $2M 10 year treasuries at 5%, receive $100k interest every year for 10 years = $1million.

Have you tried asking your parents for money?

Gross? I find it beautiful how you can ignore the entire capitalist system after you have enough capital.

In these trying times, I've come to enjoy stealing!

Inheritance, get lucky, maybe hush money?

You need some collateral or else you might try to default on the bank

Have you tried being retired, it's a great opportunity to live in cheaper environments because you don't interact with the local job market?

The landlord has plenty of money to invest after your rent is paid, why should they want to change that?
