Have you considered lending your money? Take a look at peer to peer clubs. Buy Bitcoins though you might want to hold on that horse they are a bit high right now.

>>1778065
you mean like actual knee pads? Why?

Put at least half of your savings to BTC and Silver. That way, when the euro crashes you won't lose anything.

Make sure to transfer your BTC to a safe and secure wallet that is not dependent on the organization or the internet as the organization may go bankrupt and the Internet might not be available during such a crisis.

Also, if you're wondering why Silver rather than Gold, well it's because Silver is less likely going to get you shot and the government is less likely going to confiscate it (Refer to the Executive Order 6102 in USA)

going to tell you straight up, the Jews here will tell you to get a rusty civic or some shit. Honestly get a car you will enjoy driving, and be comfortable in. You have a three hour commute so you better enjoy it.

The CLA is ok but it doesn't feel like a true Mercedes Benz. If you want a Benz but don't want to break the bank go for a C class. Test drive the both of them back to back and you'll understand what I mean.

I can personally recommend the BMW 4 series however. Same price range, much more fun to drive.

Don't lease, as you end up with no equity while still having to pay for maintenance. Buy but don't buy brand new and never buy out of warranty. You should buy a certified pre owned vehicle. They come with bumper to bumper warranties for 4-6 years and if you're a good negotiator you can get years of free maintenance as well.

Pic related is the 4 series coupe

Yeah I've looked at a few BMW's but I like the sporty look of the C/Cla class. I should be test driving a few soon.

And I see what you mean, but what if I want a new car every 3/4 years? Buying seems like I'd just get fucked over in that situation. I've spoke with a few people who enjoy cars and they've said they've hated driving the same car for the past 10 years

i sold out not long ago i will buy again if it goes under $500. if it can stay above $1000 for a year or two sure i might start buying some again.

six figures worth, ill probably sell gradually over the next few months or years depending on how the price rises or falls. hopefully by the time ive finished selling the price will be at least 3-5x what it is now. but thats just wishful thinking

Someone there?

Jesus, investing in Euroland sucks.

My brokerage account costs NOTHING to open and keep open. The only time I pay is when I trade, and it's $7.99 a trade. When I pay taxes, I pay WAY less than you do.

Well Scanidavia is a socialist hellhole (as are many yuro countries, though don't think any are as bad as Sweden), how do you expect Achmed to feed his family of 15 without working if Sven doesn't pay his dues

Yeah you'd be dumb. Rental property isn't really something you just get into and out of because there is a pretty hefty rake from buying and selling frequently.

Just buy some bonds and collect the coupon until you want to get back into stocks.

I sold my rental property and invested in stocks. I'm now making money off money I actually own and have no debt.

>>1777202
stupid idea if i ever heard one.
if you are like fucking rich and want to have some real estate up to 10% of your wealth that will provide you with a living even in times where the market takes a crapper. and you are not shy of the difficulties of dealing with renters. then you can do that i guess.

going 100% into landlording is financially illiterate beyond comprehension.

I used to follow the same process but it was such a time sink prepping all the listings then coming home for my day job to hurry up and pack a bunch of stuff for shipping. Then rushing up to the post office before they close to get my books out on time.

It was such a hassle i pretty much put it all on the back burner. Now i have a basement full of product making nothing for me. Oh well ill get to it when i retire in 30 years. That or i sell it all in one shot for a small loss.

Turbolister does suck. I ended up just going back to the built in lister. Take all my pics first, upload to comp, edit, use template i made, list auction. Its just a big hassle though.

in the beginning of my expansion I tested out a few different methods of listing to see if I could optimize the process any, one of those steps was trying the multi-listing tool built into ebay.

The results were worse than I could have imagined. increase the lag for every action 100% (click a title, takes 15-20 secs to open, click "upload pictures", wait 15-20 seconds to load, "submit" after selecting pictures- 15-20 seconds, etc)

The -real- kicker is since you're doing this in bulk you'd think it'd be all handled client-side during the creation process and hitting upload when you're done with your listings would cause it to upload said listings to ebay servers, but it doesn't, at least not as far as I can tell. How do I know? if you hit the back button by accident (my mouse has 2x buttons right above thumb that function as fwd/back in browsers) and have notifications disabled / instinctively click "ok" immediately- you've just lost everything you've done from the last time you clicked the save button. it doesnt keep a live backup going,

When you put it all together, it suggests it connects to ebay servers and uploads your input line by line (due to the lag and loading icon every time you click in/out of a field), but doesn't bother to keep a dynamic backup, and will ONLY backup when you click the save and finish later button. so effing retarded.

on another note, you went the wrong way imo. When I became stretched too thin I had to make a choice and lower one or the other, I chose to cut back on hours @ "real job" and put more time / effort / money into my ebaying. ~8 months later i was comfortable enough to completely quit the 9-5.

with that said, if you have any interest maybe we could work out a JV together. One way I've been expanding is taking on partners as a form of inventory growth (typically people that are pre-established and want to move more inventory volume) . If you're interested leave me some contact info and we can talk

Used to use Turbolister, but now I only use it for backups.

Actually, all my listings were created in Turbolister, but now I do "sell similar" and any unlikely new creations in Selling Manager Pro. Granted, I repeat the same 500 listings every time, with pretty much the same price. If I had 500 new things every month, I might do it another way.

I assume you've noticed that Sell Similar gets you a better placement than Relist.

So yeah, my circumstances are not the same as yours.

If I had to do batch edit of photos I'd use either the automation part of Photoshop, or do some other batch tool. Plenty to choose from.

The stuff you mention about creating each listing 1 by 1, I would do different.
I would export a turbolister file into CSV to see how it is constructed, then write the listings directly in Excel. I would use my outsourcer to do this (he is already handling 75% of the process for me, IE pics and product identification).

Ask a lawyer then hire a CPA.

https://localbitcoins.com/

If you want it in a US account, you have to claim it as income.

If you want it in an overseas account, you can not claim it, but you'll go to prison if the IRS ever finds out about it.

Just pay the taxes and move on.

post your strat

hire a few hookers and buy a camera.
once you have the footage, send a 30sec to fap like video cut of the action to porn sites see what they offer for the tapes.

you need to start selling the vids first before you make your own site because nobody will fucking subscribe until you have about a 100 vids and turn new ones out daily.

What is your niche? You don't just need a high end camera but you need to incorporate a bit of direction.

Porn is something of a escapism product so the people you need to (hire) need to have a good following of people who are guarnteed to watch your video, subscribe, click ads or buy subscriptions to your site.

With the money you have you can hire a porn star (depending on the niche you may need to hire a male actor), set up a website and offer cheap subscription packages, get your videos on sites like xvideos, pornhub, etc

Repeat the process and maintain a strong reputation in the industry, network with porn stars, producers and other people willing to invest in your venture

Also, hire a lawyer because the porn industry is a really shifty place

>about a 100 vids and turn new ones out daily.
How the fuck do you put out videos daily unless you are fucking your couple? (boring)

>>1776465
bj stuff

it has to be pure POV, nothing else, just like klixen

all he did was making super hot pov bjs

i would add a twist, making it even more niche

like i said it will be pov and it will be my dick

I would be happy not making any money as in, making enough money to hire the next girl and keep getting different girls "for free"

i do it because i like girls on my dick first, then the money will be awesome if it turns out a success, but a success for me is that: having enough so that i can keep re-investing and making more vids more or less frequently.

>>1776271
Sounds like you are going to be a telemarketer

I'd use this job to save up enough to go to school full time, (4-6k if community college) work part time after you saved that amount and just enough hours where you are still getting a check for at least 300 or less, get a degree and aim to make at least twice as much as you are making now so anywhere between 22 - 28 an hour

If they ask about your gaps in your resume just tell them you were out of the country taking care of your grandmother who died recently

>>1776271
Just fucking apply and stop asking advice/permission for everything you do you little worm

>>1776296
Yeah that's probably the plan longer term. It's not telemarketing, just outgoing debt collections for credit card companies and such though. Shouldn't be too bad i think... At least it's fulltime and in an office?

I don't know if it's all proles or nobody wants to admit to being a bit boujie.

>>1775065
In some ways, yes, in others, no.

I come from an upper middle class family that made $300-400K a year and lived in a very nice neighborhood. I'm in college now.

There is definitely less value to the dollar. My dad deposits $50 on my account per week automatically, but if I use it up he'll add more without question. I usually spend like >$20 during the day on things like food, starbucks, etc. I usually go clothes shopping once a month and pick up a few nice things and spend like $200-$400.

However, with that being said, there definitely is much more of a drive for me to be successful to impress my parents. In high school, my private school was owned by a college so I was able to take university courses and basically completed a full undergrad (8 semesters) while I was there. I paid a lot more attention to my future and now I get very nervous about doing badly on assignments, even if they aren't worth much, and work a lot towards building reputations. Being boujie did make me more conscious of how individuals judge other people, so I've been able to establish pretty good friendships and connections.

>50 bucks a week

Are you kidding me?

Dollar cost averaging is just another form or market timing and doesnt work.

>>1773957
Yes because investing a fixed amount of money over a predetermined amount of time is exactly market timing. Right
