I want to make some fucking money, i have no education or income, $150 in cash and a computer. What do?
Tell me to buy crack or pull a 5 year plan out of your ass.

it's not rocket science. invest time and energy towards the goal of making money, and you will. you don't have to be particularly smart. just work hard.
'but how'
part of working hard is figuring that out. spending time on /biz/ can be a good start, and you can always check back looking for specific answers. but all the info you need is out there in the world wide web.

You can resell bitcoin from an online exchange at localbitcoins.com at like a 10% markup.
I've made good money trading Forex before but keep in mind it us not easy!
Resell shit on eBay, (just think where you can get valuable things cheap)
Drop shipping(think outside the box for markets)
Go to Walmart.
Buy a $100 vacuum cleaner and spend the rest on a bucket, rags, soap, chamois, and waxes.
Now go detail cars.
You can make $200 a day if you work hard, and sell yourself.
Hooray.
I just started a real estate buisness. I own 2 properties outright as well as my own home. I make about $1000 a month off of the rentals. I make about $3750 a month from my job. I only have 12K in debt and about 75K in equity. I live in a Detroit esque mid sized city in the midwest where you can buy houses for 10-15K. They come with the windows boarded up and I went to school for home inspection so I don't get any that have major problems. I was wondering where could I get financing from? I could pull equity from my rentals but that would diminish my income from them to almost nothing. I don't have enough time doing this to get a business loan (2 years recorded on taxes). So what are my options to do more properties? I could just keep buying them cash but that means I can only do 1-2 properties a year. I'm tired of my job and want to do this full time. Any advice anons?

Sounds like you are actually doing good. My advise (which is simply an opinion), live frugally for 2-5 years, only buying essential clothes, food, and bills with your new income.
>>1020730
I've been living frugally since I was homeless back in 09. I buy all my clothes/furniture/cars used, grow and can my own food, and I own all my own tools for every project from hanging drywall and framing to installing flooring (I bought all the tools from a tool pawn shop in town). I'm just wondering where I could get a business loan from, my credit is over 700. Or are there any investors or a place to talk to investors?
>>1020748
I think you can get a 60month loan @7.xx-8.xx% through lending club. Good credit, strong assets, track record of doing this should qualify you for the top borrower bracket.
Did anyone see this? I personally liked it, and it ran like a mix between a documentary and a film. It's as if you made Moneyball (based on the book by the same author) into a movie with interviews.
It also did a great job of simplyfying terms and then explaining them.
My question is: are people in this field really THAT dishonest?
I haven't seen the film, but I have worked in finance (primarily asset management) and can say from my experience that yes, people in this field really are that dishonest. The finance industry disproportionately attracts scumbags: people who are greedy, money-loving, selfish, sabotaging, narcissistic.

For background, one of my previous bosses is serving a prison sentence for securities fraud and I think there's enough evidence to indict another one of my previous bosses for the same if the SEC felt inclined. The one who's now in prison stole less than $20 million which is minor compared to Bernie Madoff but major for the families who lost their retirement and education funds.
>>1020640
So they consciously know that they are scamming people while putting up a facade? How do they live with themselves?
Are the majority of these poeple well-versed in finance?

>Hold a few bitcoins just for the sake of it, and also to buy things online, not just investment wise.
>Read 10 pages a day, realistic.
>Meditate for 10 mins.
Your turn.
1) Get swoleish
2) Buy at least one more investment property
3) Start looking for a new job for them salary gains

Just how easy/difficult is it to make a living off purely drawing/art?
no one has replied because no one does it

theres a reason why the phrase "starving artist" and "he became famous when he died" came to be.
Its as difficult as anything else. I worked as a freelancer doing conceptual work for a period of time and found it trying. The people you work for will undervalue your time because of the notion that you are an "artist" and shouldn't be paid for your time. However, the better you get and the better you network, the more $$$, as with anything else. See Dave Rapoza - he can crank out high-level pieces quickly and nets a comfortable living.

It's pretty hard for western companies to establish themselves in a country where they don't speak the language and have no one to rely on.
I would start a business to help set up and market businesses there. You know how your country works. They don't.

but I mean liiiiiiiiike, will they really care enough to go after me? it's not that much money
I've been working for a small company being paid under the table for a good while. I was wondering how they go about taxing the capital you've made from trading stocks.
Also, is it possible for me to buy and sell a stock within the same day? Say I want to buy at a low, and just sit back and watch the stock climb for a few minutes then sell... is that possible?
Thank you, guys.
I'm only investing $500 but I'd still rather not lose it.
>>1019890
sure it is possible ,its called daytrading and i wouldnt recommend it for beginer its most risky way
Online brokerages charge a transaction fee, so doing many small transactions is very inefficient, even if you can make money. You might find that you've spent all day hunched over your console making less than minimum wage.

It'll start doing well, then get fucked by Saudi Arabia again. They can sell bank notes and also go into 16 trillion dollars in debt before this is over and they'll still be financially better off than the US.
>>1019891
>implying investors will keep lending to a country which produces nothing but oil and dates if oil stays low for years on end
Their deficit is crazy and their work ethic stinks.
>>1019891
>they'll still be financially better off than the US.
A diversified economy of 330million+ with a VARIED abundance of natural resources vs a nation which imports virtually all of its Labour force and only exports oil.
Don't tell me they're in a better financial position than the USA if they had that level of debt.

Was the 2008 financial crisis just a meme collapse? Pretty sure it didnt impact my life in the slightest and the economy is doing just fine only 2-3 yrs later.

It did affect you but if you didn't notice then you must have been underage at the time. If you turned legal afterward then your job chances were slim and your pay was shit. That's something you don't remember from before 2008. Also there are missing jobs that haven't been recovered. This is from Georgetown school economics and education. Your government raised taxes on you to pay for those bailout and the result was shitty education, roads, and more regulation to take out loans for you but not the assholes on the top.
Thoughts on the Open University?
What do employers think of this?
I think it is great.
£5400 a year is a lot. can you go to a regular university while doing this? it would be cool to have two degrees at the same time. it seems i can't pick a program that applies to canada though.
>no robinhood
>no open university
why is canada so shit?
My m8 did stats with OU and went straight into a nice job with it despite having 5 or so years after school doing fuck all, so it clearly works for getting a degree in certain in demand subjects.
I was planning to do an open degree with emphasis on business, statistics and Chinese. After 2 years I go back to my home country since I am abroad right now and apply at a university (ranked top 100) for a 4 year degree.
