what would you do then

>>1248536
Where are you from?

You can use a btc atm (if there's any around you) to buy bitcoin, and then have that sent to your btc wallet. Then have an account at poloniex to send the btc to, and trade that for eth.

USA, Maryland

Then you can ether deposit cash in an exchange like Kraken, and the IRS will be aware of it. You could otherwise go straight cash-btc with someone form localbitcoins.com, or use a bitcoin ATM.

Best thing to do in modern times if you have no money: Aquire a shitton of debt buying things like cars or a down payment on a house, and then all you have to do is declare bankruptcy. The law will protect you from having your assets like cars, houses, and I think phones taken away because it's classified as a necessity. Sure, you're credit rating will tank, but who cares? It's a meme anyways.

Kind of varies by law. A lot of people buy Florida real estate knowing they wont lose it in event of going bankrupt. It's different here (Canada). Reminds me of a story an old accountant told me

>guy sets up registration agency
>easy work, just does paperwork for other companies
>builds company up, gets 10 workers
>deducts income tax from workers pay cheques
>never gives the income tax to the government for 4 years
>government sues for missing payments
>guy says he gambles it away and doesn't have the money
>only real asset is his million dollar home
>government cant take his house because he lives there with his wife, and she has a 'vested interest' in it

Sure they'll put a lien on it, but he got a nice house as long as he lives there. Funniest thing was the guy did the same thing all over again with a company in his sons name.

Unforseen expenses like repairs.

the downside is having niggers live in your rental-box

Programming is easy to learn, easy to get into entry-level positions, easy to get promoted. Not much people stuff required.

one of my favorite [reasonably attainable / online] business models is website investing

buying underoptimized websites from somewhere like
http://flippa.com or http://empireflippers.com
then optimizing (either for resale or to keep in a portfolio of other sites)

some resources for website investing:

>High risk
>Low reward

>Low reward

What? It's very high reward. All the guys i used to buy drugs off were completely loaded up with cash.

Not to mention, it's also a pretty relaxed lifestyle, not having to wage slave.

>>1251096
I did sell "drugs" (weed) many years ago. Just planted some cannabis plants and sold the dried buds. Easy as fuck. Think i made a couple 1000's doing something i like (gardening).

I sold the weed to some friends for 1/2 of the retail value and then they would sell it to users with profit. Dident wanna go through the hassle of selling grams

This is probably bait but whatever.

1) Many of the concepts of personal finance hold on a national level, including balancing a budget and maintaining sustainable levels of debt.
2) Assuming you are in the US, the effective tax of a 6 figure professional in New York City sits at close to 50%. That excludes sales tax, capital gains tax, property tax, etc.
3) Of course we shouldn't stop spending, but passing a balanced budget to at least cut the deficit would help. It's our children that will be on the hook to pay those interest payments; they won't just go away.
4) Paying a good wage will likely bring in more value-adding, efficient employees, not just magically make the ones you already have work better. If you're referring to raising the minimum wage, virtually all economists both liberal and conservative agree that it increases unemployment of the unskilled. You can read up on this, I'm not going to spoonfeed you, but as a start you can Google the productivity and ratio of Walmart to Costco employees.
5) Despite what's taught in most high school economics/history textbooks, the Gilded Age wasn't the evil proletariat-abusing capitalist nightmare when you compare the standard of living to the average poor worker before and during. Real wages increased because goods became so much cheaper thanks to efficient production and, while it sucked, it sucked a good deal less for all parties involved. If you read primary sources during the time period even the socialists like Samuel Gompers admitted the poor were better off, he just wanted wealth redistribution anyway.

>How many of you are relentless when it comes to saving? I'm talking pocket change, 1$ bills, envelope systems...of course banking it as well. How did you become this way?

Pretty much do everything in cash, so all my change goes into corresponding jars

>How much do you save a year just but saving dollar bills and change?

Ranges from 500-2500 a year just in pocket change

>ALSOOO do you pick a coin if you see it laying there on the floor?

Fukin right, not kike, but free is free

>>1250514
>Not using a credit card and getting 1-5% discounts on purchases
>B-b-but I save my change!
You keep your change in your bank account by using a credit card, retard.

And people wonder why they're poor.

>>1250514
alright that's what I'm talking about! OP here every time I post something similar it generates 0 posts. Its good to see someone understands how to diversify their saving habits. My personal thing is to have a change jar with and envelope for the extra 5,10s,20s etc I can spare a week.

Good thread idea OP. I am in the process of starting my own software development company and I'm still working on a good marketing plan.

Regarding advice: so far I found my first clients by manually pitching my services to startups on StackOverflow, AngelList, etc. I'd tailor the pitch to each company and offer them my development services. This effectively landed me my last contract where I made 50k~ in a few months which honestly isn't bad for a first attempt.

Now I'm hoping to take things even further by the end of this year as I currently need some new customers.

>>1250301
>putting things in the middle on the top shelf
>not having a middle support for the top shelf

>>1250309
50k Sounds great, I think contracting can be quite profitable, once you get into a field of expertise and can start to build a track record.

I'm thinking on similar lines. End of this year I'm planning on creating a small brand for myself by grinding through a lot of generic problems and hopefully hands-on-enough solutions. Step two is to acquire customers with more specific problems, which I bet will find me through my outlets (as they are already doing now).

Anyway, good luck my friend.

Engineer or project manager.

It actually helps managing people if you are autistic because you can ignore your employees feelings.
