lol a billboard yeah but then you'd have to pay an ad agency to manage it for you unless you wanted to do it yourself and you probably wouldn't make all that much. vending machines maybe? the market for that was probably 15 years ago though.

i mean like own 1,000,000 shares of a stock that pays dividends.

walmart stock pays 1.92 a year iirc. get you like 100,000 of those and you're good. it's trading at like 78 so you'd need an initial investment of 8 mil of course but you know. maybe a bank will loan it to you.

but then you've got a blue chip stock that is probably going to increase in value or at worst stay basically where it is over the next decade and in the meantime you're getting an income of $192,000 a year.

lol welcome to america. it's easy as gently caress to make money if you already have a bunch, otherwise we've got the shittiest social mobility rate since the 1800s

don't marry early, wait until 30 to have kids, save some money. don't buy a house, invest instead.

if it was easy to do no work and still make tons of money without already having a bunch of capital everyone would be rich.

I'm surprised OP hasn't learned this yet. Either he's in high school and the rich kids.haven't gotten too outwardly classist yet or is so poor he doesn't realize just how huge a lifestyle gap there is between someone merely making a living wage and someone with more than $500k in liquid assets.

if you are good with numbers and people and aren't too spooked by abstract money voodoo like 'credit default swaps' then go into finance. i know a dude who fits this profile and made 9 figures in 20 years and retired in his mid 40s. he came from a very middle class background and yes he worked kinda hard but not hundred million dollar hard.



if you choose finance and are goy, get used to this being the predominant background feature of your occupation.

if you're working for someone else you're loving up unless your intention is to build a client base that you can go independent with later

otherwise you're just making someone else money that could probably be going into your pocket :shrug:


My brother-in-law was a corporate lawyer out of law school. The difference in the rate he got paid vs the rate the firm charged the client for those hours was an order of magnitude (10x more).

He got some experience and started his own firm. Not really easy though.

Get a group of 4-5 people with outstanding credit and decent incomes, form an investment group, form a business plan that will convince a bank lending you $10m isn't a totally insane proposition. Given the state of the economy that's likely not going to happen (especially if you're not rich to begin with lol USAUSAUSA) but maybe if you've got collateral or something you could do it.

Afaik most small business loans are for $500 to $2m though so you're going to have to be really convincing or start much smaller.

Buy blue chip dividend stocks and each of you can collect like ~$20k a year (assuming like $150,000 to $190,000 in dividends divided by 4-5 minus interest). Hopefully you didn't get bent over backwards on the interest rate and the dividends + % gain on the stock covers the interest leaving you with a decent income stream. It won't be baller baller money but it'll be the income of a 40 hrs a week at $9/hr poo poo job for basically zero work and if you picked the right stocks your investment will grow. For example, Wal-Mart has increased dividends every year for the last 50 years and their stock price has only gone up since 15 years ago. If you pick a stock like Apple that splits then you're stoked.


This is also a terribly dangerous idea if you have no idea what you're doing on the stock market or financial markets in general so make sure you incorporate and get a loan through the business so if you go bankrupt the bank isn't going after your personal assets for the rest of your life. You're probably not going to get a loan in the first place if your business plan is just 'buy stocks' though.

On the other hand the economy is terrible so chances are it's going to get better rather than worse. I'm recommending blue chips like IBM or Walmart because the odds they're going to lose all their value over a short period of time are really low. If you take $10m and buy penny stocks trying to double your money you're a moron.

alternately buy apartment/condo buildings in up and coming areas that still have cheap real estate prices, hire a company to manage it for you, collect rents.

my gf's grandparents own like 80 apartment buildings in LA and they don't do poo poo anymore besides cash the check the rent check the management people send them.
