If you look at nearly all successful people, they come from middle-class families at the bare minimum.
This makes me think there must be some work-ethic or resourcefulness that the working class lack. I've met distant family members who are much wealthier and they seem so energetic and carefree whereas my family were always negative and dysfunctional.
What can I do to retrain my brain? Do I just have niggery genes?

Get a scholarship and go to college.
As long as you don't get a Fine Arts degree you will be qualified to work many white collar office jobs.
Boom, insta middle class.
Crab mentality. They'll drag you down to their level. Be around the people that will lift you up to their level.

Just turned 18, want to invest with something like robinhood etc. Are iPhone apps for investing a meme? I'm still in school so I would only be putting a couple hundred tops, is there any money to be made?
>>1277358
It'll be boring, but over time you can reliably grow that 100$ ~7-11% long term (over 5 years). If you have a lot of time you could start researching companies and, while taking more of a risk, could reliably get ~20% a year. But that's still not to exciting. You could speculate - gamble and lose or gain 100% in a year. Not reliable and will likely lose the money due to the way humans think. If you have the patience and have no better plans for the money, make it grow until you can use it as a downpayment on a loan to start whatever business you were thinking about, make that grow, if youre doing it right, you'll start making exciting money
>>1277358
>is there any money to be made?
No, but if you open an ira you have a big leg up on people that wait until they are over 30 to start investing for retirement.
Yeah I guess that's what I figured, I just am asking if individual stocks is a good thing or what other apps are out there?
What are some good resources if I want to educate myself on the stock market, starting a business, and basic economics?
I have no experience but I'm interested in being my own boss by 30..currently 21 so I still have a long time to educate myself, but I'd like to start ASAP.
Thanks, /biz/

Trash. May as well recommend "the power of positive thinking" if we're going with huckster 80s books.

Should I be concerned?
>>1277188
Probably call the bank or go to bank itself
>>1277188
Checked
Call your bank first thing. This happened to me before and it turned out their servers were down and because I didn't bitch hard enough I ate the penalties.

I'm just concerned it's malware or some shit.
That shit is advanced these days. Also strangely some charges on my CC from more than 3 days ago aren't showing up, not sure if it counts with weekend tho.
Ill call tomorrow if it doesn't work still. Looks like they recently updated the site
I work for a major, recognizable company, on the corporate level. Everyone on my team is abandoning ship, because things have been really bad. I haven't been a fan of this job since I started, but I really have been a fan of the people.
Everyone has been talking up my great performance and talking about how a promotion is coming up in short order most likely - and the top two people ahead of me just quit, including my boss, who I adore, and protects me from a lot of the bullshit.
There's not really anywhere for them to turn but to promote me now... However, I'm reluctant since everyone is bailing. Should I bail too? I like our director and know she's counting on me to take on the mantle, but I don't trust the company at the moment.
On a personal level, the rapid ascendance on my resume would continue, and it would be a financial boon - likely with a ton of stress and potential for failure.
Thoughts, /biz/?
You sound like you work at Statestreet.
>>1277150
Nope.
Marketing, not finance.
>the top two people ahead of me just quit, including my boss
Yes, quit. You need close allies above you in a corporate environment.
How do I invest in these blue fish so that when this movie comes out in a few weeks I make the big bucks? What is the blue tang stock?

Not profitable, they get sick easy, and cannot be bred in captivity.
They say the economy is doing betrer. Although retail isn't picking up. Why?
I suspect internet shopping plays a big role. You can buy things directly from china cheaper than retail sometimes
>>1276962
It's not doing better, they're lying
>>1276962
The money is going in other directions.
Retail fag here.
Any anons with experience in the industry have any advice to share about setting up good merchandise displays on endcaps? I'm trying to learn about how to merchandise my inventory but getting fucking nowhere.
Do you sell online?

Nah. I work in a physical location.

Hey /biz/, what website should I make?

Where? What office?
Hello /biz/, this is my first post, how exciting.
Honest question:
so how do we know that this board (basically crypto forum) is not filled with scammers from Angola or Nigeria trying to promote useless coins so they can buy gasoline to get drunk?
I mean, it just struck me you know, if find this hypothesis quite plausible.
>>1276826
you mean shills?
hey are everywhere but they rarely have the patience to build it up so it's pretty obvious.
Nigger ebonics and chinglish are pretty easy to notice over message boards. Half of BTC talk is horrid chinglish.
What is coin when go up, I think soon!
Bixnood lean coin!
They are eveywhere, mods wont create an advice and crypto sticky cyclic because theyre fucking trash, so you just have to be smart and wade through it
How do you handle office brown-nosers/ass kissers in the office. It's pretty rampant where I'm at and the bosses enjoy it so it's indirectly encouraged.
>>1276787
don't wipe my ass so it will be extra rewarding for them.
>>1276787
Great question, OP! You sure know how to press the issues that really matter :)
>>1276787
I'm actually good at what I do so 'the bosses' acknowledge that and I ignore the less competent boffins who choose to brown-nose. I often share private jokes with 'the bosses' about the brown-nosers.
Why is everyone so high on Trumpcoin? In a volatile crypto market full of potential booms and mostly busts, what is it in particular regarding trumpcoins that is so attractive to /biz/ I'm not quite sure I see the optimism that everyone else does.
>>1276718
>2016
>Can't see trumpcoins potential
Do you live under a rock anon? Or do you have a mental deficiency?
>>1276718
/biz/ loves to shill coins.
4chan is infested by /pol/.
/pol/ loves trump
Therefore, /biz/ loves trumpcoins.
You have 10 seconds to prove society isn't set up in a way that forces people into being wage cucks their entire lives and strongly discourages business/entrepreneurship.
Self employed/business owners
>30% tax rate or higher
>no benefits/expensive insurance
>greater liability in general
Wage cucks
>extremely low tax rates their employer eats half of
>generous benefit programs/401k matching
>practically no liability in most professions
Considering this is /biz/ how do you all reconcile the fact that the U.S. is fundamentally anti-business? I know most of you are wage cucks here but to those who have built their own businesses, how do you survive when almost everything is working against you?
Women in the workplace and 30-year mortgages are ultimately what force people into lifetimes of wageslavery.
>>1276673
Why would you say the u.s. is anti business, and what countries would you consider pro business? Third world ones where you can pay workers pennies?
Current mortgage, car, and tuition prices are the main culprit
Most people would have extremely comfy lives on just 30k/yr if these three weren't so over inflated in price
why did it happen anyways, did their president buy too many Lego or something.

Too many denbts. Not enough trumpcoin.
