>Decided to move to Paris and study Philosophy, I know it was a pretty useless degree economically, but was really interested.
>Besides, due to french crypto-socialism, the cost of studying is practically free. Free college, and student support to pay for state-owned flat, with the minimum to live.
>During my studies, hang out with a lot of various people, including kids of very rich families.

>Turns out, one of the old ladies at those parties,happened to be very rich and just decided to put me on her heritage list and give me some little flat well put in Paris.
>Studies will end soon. I will probably enter a comfy life as a philosophy teacher in high school, with a comfy free flat, a lot of holidays and an average salary with some extra luxurious gifts sometimes from acquaintances.
Mfw /biz/ is passionate about making money and being economically successfull and want to make it so hard. This is so plebeian. Greek aristocracy looked down on merchants trying to make money, seeing that as "an hobby for wogs" ( Aristotle's words), Continental aristocracy looked down on it too, never allowed themselves to turn into bourgeois or bankers. JUST SEARCH KNOWELDGE, ETHICS, FITNESS AND ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE. TAKE THE ATHENIAN PILL INSTEAD OF TAKING THE PLEB-MERCHANT ONE.

You really do have to wonder why women have so little self-awareness.
Absolutely fucking bizarre.
So I've recently started "performing" on chaturbate and I've made 500 in the past five days. Why aren't you doing this? Why shouldn't I keep doing this?

No, that is a psychopath. I bet if you were fucking his wife or hurting his children in front of him, suddenly he would have a different idea of ethics.
That is a common trait with psychopath/sociopaths; they disregard everyone else's rights, but if you do the slightest thing against them, they get very personally offended and want to attack you.
Sounds like a complete fucking loser, and if I were you, I would reconsider listening to any of his advice. Like you said, the guy's an Indian, which should tell you all you need to know about how he approaches class differences.

>>1464628
Almost forgot: In business, reputation is everything. Being "le edgy misanthrope" is a seriously irrational and flawed strategy, because it disincentivizes others to trust you and not blacklist you to everyone they know. Like, even if you get away with fucking a couple people over, the pendulum always swings back eventually.

How do you know when market is in a down-turn?
I mean not because news said so when it's very obvious/has passed, but just general red-flags that it's going to happen/is happening.
For example, I didn't feel or remember 2008 crash happening. Only years later I heard everyone say "remember the '08 housing market crash?". Would it make sense that I didn't feel it because I rented?

I guess that's why you wouldn't have felt is as much, but you must have known people getting laid off. Jobs became harder to come by. The bubble popped and nearly took the economy with it.

Probably $1M because of time value of money.
The competent employee may be worth $120-150K+ to you later on, but early on it's plainly a game of catchup.

Any other freelance content or copywriters in the house? Some anon here introduced me to The Cult of Copy and some other resources; however, I'm having trouble taking my business to the next level. I mostly do content writing businesses focused on Internet marketing and SEO (both for link building and about IM), so that's my niche.
I'm trying to take my business to the next level, as I can easily get client work but nobody wants to pony up and pay more than $.05 per word. I have a few clients where I can pump out articles and easily make $150-200 a day but I don't think it's sustainable for me mentally. Some of the work is pretty tedious.
I read about people making hundreds of dollars per post for SEO and apparently this is normal in certain circles. I've never seen anyone offer anywhere near this much but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
Anyone else do content writing? Would love to hear from you. Can try to share some of my insight to anyone interested.

Similar experience
To command the big bucks in copywriting you need to be an expert in a particular niche (the kind of niche that any old Pajeet can't just write about)
There are tons of businesses that will see positive ROI from paying $500 for a well-written 1000 word blog post.
In particular, I'm thinking highly specialist B2B companies - the kind of company where each sale is worth £100k+.
So say you write 1 post a week at that price and the company gets just one sale a year from a blog that addresses a specific long tail search query, it's profitable. Sure, these companies could save money by hiring Pajeet to do it but his copy isn't going to convert.
Basically, become an expert on a niche, and target low volume, high margin companies. Seek them out and explain how you can make them money by writing articles for their website. Don't go after just any old business otherwise you'll have to compete with Pajeet.

Would it be smarter to simply make a niche blog/website and produce content whilst getting ads and potential sponsorships? Freelancing seems really iffy.

What do you guys use for your budget and to track expenses?
I tried Mint, it's US-only.
I tried You Need A Budget, they've made a retarded "cloud"-only version and the app does not actually allow you to sign up, only sign in.
I tried going to Microsoft's ready made Excel templates, and they can only be used with their "Excel Online" crap which needs an Office 365 subscription.
How can I get a budget without being Jewed in the process? Why is there so much incompetence and scams here?

Do some research, meng. It's very competitive, everyone's mom is doing their own jewellery. There's even a comedy sketch poking fun at it, for crying out loud.

/biz/ I need some financial advice on car buying.
>Have 40k in the bank
>Make 45k a year
>Will make 55k-60 next year when I go for promotion
>Dad is master auto technician at Toyota
>I need a new car
>Only thing I like is an lexus IsF
>29k price
Would this be a dumb financial decision considering I don't make much right now? I really want the car and it's basically bulletproof. Only thing I'd need to do is breaks and oil changes.

wow I don't usually come to this board but I see the number of etc shills are super disproportionate to other online communites. These etc posts are always same fagging and shitposting for their altcoin. ETC has no real future. ETH is legit and will be here for years to come. ETH is going strong even after the whole DAO debacle. ~1billion $ marketcap and holding well. So much development coming to ETH too, Gnosis, Augur, SingularDtv, Golem, and so much more.
Good luck greedy etc dudes
