>CBT
Ohh lord this shit
Try to find a good Freudian or Lacanian psychotherapist

>>1877458
1. CBT and Psychotherapy are two different disciplines with very different approaches.
2. CBT is generally accepted by the establishment to be effective, at the very least there is less skepticism about CBT than Psychoanalysis or Psychodynamics etc.
3. A lot of counseling by people without even a fucking degree is exactly the kind of scam you're talking about; people like to indulge their narcissism, it's basically the church confessional for the modern age -- suddenly it's all about you. An truth be told, there is a lot to be said about how talking through problems is actually benefitial to a patient because it forces them to see cause-and-effect and become self-aware of how their attitudes may be interpreted by others... however then you get into the whole thing of individual locus.

So short answer: it's possible, just invent your own David Wolffe tier new-age therapy bullshit, and wear the fact that it's not part of the medical establishment as a badge of pride rather than a red-flag. Ya know... if you actually don't want to help people

The issue with CBT:
These people try to view psychology as something that has characteristics of an empirical science. It is also normative in that it is supposed to regulate and control behaviors that are not considered 'normal'

If you actually want to get something out of therapy that isn't some person trying to mold your mind, you should try to find a therapist that assists you in introspection. Lacanian and Freudian psychology are not popular because of the CBT DSMV 5 and pharmaceutical industry, but they were the norm for most of the history of psychotherapy. Also, 'muh sexism' makes them unpopular

Take food, lots of it. People will give you unbelievable amounts of cash for food and/ir plane tickets. I've witnessed it myself.

Maybe find some books about Zimbabwe's hyperinflation. A lot of the same techniques and end games probably apply.

You're also not the first to think of this. They're called "bachaqueros".

just realized I replied to my own post. Its my first time using 4chan baka

Thanks to you, i just had an idea about a website i could make myself.
But anyway,
It's hard to say and depends on the website itself and the kind of ads and the amount of traffic you're getting.
I think the biggest difficulty is getting high traffic, because there's already billions of websites out there, so why would they use yours?
There are even websites that are extremely popular, but don't earn a profit, because the costs for infrastructure are too high (youtube) or no company is willing to advertise on it (4chan) or because they just don't want any ads (wikipedia).

>>1877484
You're welcome my man
Fair enough. My idea is on a topic that's attached to a lot of marketing. I feel like I've got a niche although I've not really researched it, but yeah generating traffic would be the hardest part no doubt. That been said I'd be satisfied if I could earn more than my running costs.

you will probably make 1$ for every 100 people that visit your website. now imagine the traffic you'd need

>>1877414
same here, some good points are made imo, but I wouldn't take it as a realistic movie.

Boiler Room, Wolf of Wall Street (though you should read the book first, Michael Lewis is great), Glengarry Glenn Ross, It's A Wonderful Life but rooting for Potter.

>I wouldn't take it as a realistic movie.
oh definitely not when it comes to specifics

but the vibe felt fairly realistic

>>1877455
>Glengarry Glenn Ross
this looks good

Not as much as you may think. We did some shilling with bloggers and although they may claim they make a lot of money per post they really don't. We got fashion bloggers for about $40-$100 per review

Depending on the celebrity it could cost just a couple of hundred for them to send out a tweet.

I cannot think of a socialist regime that didn't collapse or eventually go back to capitalism like China and Vietnam and become infinitely better off.

Even Cuba is starting to go back to capitalism by beginning to legalize private businesses and private property.

Rather than being a cuck for the nomenklatura and Stalin who had multiple luxury dachas and enjoyed other luxury goods unimaginable to the proles stuck working in shitty factories and living in commieblocks?

Lmao Castro's son takes luxury vacations while the Cuban populace lives in poverty.

You won't get a real answer to that question mate, simply because nobody knows.

This.

OP is asking for ultra long term forecasting, which is asking to ID and shoot through a whole flock of black swans.

I say we have about 150 years, tops, before the Earth is completely uninhabitable. Compound interest is a powerful thing - and that's what our population is doing.

My successful grandfather then went on to marry another woman after my grandmother's death when he was already in his seventies, splitting the money he made over his life as a successful business man with the woman he's only known for a year. Now when he passes away my brothers and I will share his inheritance with HER fucking children. WHAT THE FUCK

take some personal responsibility for once you sad miserable fuck, she didnt take you at gunpoint and apply for the school and college debt, you did asswipe. and expecting your parents to pay your tuition, wow you are one free loading spic sack of shit.

Just keep taking L's anon, no coins for you. But on the bright side we get a $12 raise per month with the donster

Dude being an enlisted guy and trading coins/stocks sounds like such a good deal. You could easily blow $200 a paycheck and not have it affect you at all. Just don't go out blowing your money on a car/strippers/booze/etc like all the other joes.

Army 11C here by the way (nasty girl right meow) what branch are you in and what do you do? Sorry I don't have anything of value to add man.

Also, why don't you just tell them you live back home? Do they actually cross reference your physical address with what your bank has?

>>1877167
RSU or ESPP? Or are they just giving you 401k in their own stock?

For the first two, yes absolutely. For the 401k, only if you get it at a discount. In all cases sell it immediately and diversify into an index.

>>1877178

ESPP. Are you factoring in the self driving trucks in ten years or so? How do you think that will effect the market and fed ex? I don't know thing one about stock

>>1877192
ESPP is an agreement to purchase stock at the end of a 6 month period (I think with pretax salary). You designate 1-10% of your salary (do 10%) and agree to purchase stock at the end of a 6 month period. The price you are given is 15% off of the lowest price in that period. Worst case scenario, the lowest price is the current price (at the end of the 6 months) and you get a 15% discount on the stock.

In that worst case scenario it is like getting a 1.5% raise. You sell this shit immediately (when you get it at the end of each 6 months) and take your money. If you need the money, put it in your bank account, if you can invest it, buy an index instead.

You buy an index (like the S&P 500) because it tracks the value of many stocks. If one crashes (like FedEX) it's not such a big deal because all the others are doing well. This is called diversification.

Read the terms of your ESPP agreement to make sure it lines up with what I said. I think it's pretty standard though. It's a great deal and free money. Just sell the stock immediately so you don't have to worry about their long term prospects.

If anything, self driving trucks should increase their profitability in the future. This would mean you would lose your job (unlikely any time soon because last mile delivery is tough, and you guys drive a lot more aggressively than self driving trucks can) but their profitability goes up since they aren't paying for humans but instead buying slave robots.

Take the free money. Get a 401k match too if they offer it. Save and invest like a mother fucker. Diversify. Buy and hold.

This looks like a money losing shitshow.

Where's the turnaround and upside? What's their big advantage?

If Trump's deporting the illegals in TX, NM, and CO, that's fewer drunk driving accidents creating customers. If repealing Obamacare brings things toward a more free market, they'll be facing cutthroat price competition. If the executives were fucking with the SEC, what makes you think they weren't cooking the books?

>>1877132
Deportation has nothing to do with profitability you racist, classist fuckhead

However, it is true that the SEC shit makes this a bad business to invest in.

>>1877112
Yeah, except I don't think a standalone ER is a good business model long-term.

From my (limited) experience these places have difficulty with staffing. I think growth will be a serious issue with these companies long term.

>>1877093
Any business, as long as you don't fail too much.

Any job that pays well (programming is easy to make six figures in), as long as you save.

Inheritance, nepotism, and corruption are also good.

Basically look at the people you consider "young" who are millionaires.

No. This isn't 2006.

Maybe have your parents cosign. Maybe.

>>1877097
by 2006 you mean the housing bubble?

bump. I'm trying to get into it because i have a lot of free time and some spare money but i don't know a whole lot

If you loan a company money, that's called a bond. Hopefully they pay you back (with interest).

If you buy a piece of a company, that's a share of stock. Hopefully the company does well. If it does, it becomes worth more and, as a result, you can sell your share for more. The company might also pay you a share of its profit. That's called a dividend.

Over time, our economy gets better, more companies get created, technology advances, and overall there's more wealth. Buying shares in companies or lending them your spare money lets you take part in that growth.

You can buy stocks or bonds through a brokerage account (which is taxed) or retirement account (which are taxed less). I recommend Vanguard: https://personal.vanguard.com/open-account/oax/app/triage#/

138 AUD per sale. Average around 3 sales per week. Adds up

Yeah i got my degree in Finland for free, but I think even in Australia the max for a regular Bachelor degree is 50K AUD, and they don't have to pay any interest on that loan ever. And don't have to make repayments until they earn over 53k annually.

USA is fucked
