Productive Summer Ideas Thread

Finally a post I can probably answer better than 99% of posters here. Get over your bullshit millennial dream. You won't make 40 million dollars starting a business without getting a damn job first. You think someone is going to lend you 500k to start a business? Do you think you can turn 100k into 40 million in a few years on the stock market? No, you won't be able to. Here's a reality check. To make 40 million you'd have to be an entrepreneur, there's no other way. I'm assuming you don't have parents that will lend you 500k either. Your only option is to go to school/trade, make good money, live like a fucking peon during the prime of your life, and invest every fucking penny you have. Then after several years of working your balls off with almost no luxuries, you'll start to develop a base layer of capital that you can use to grow more capital. I'm just under 30 and just shy of a millionaire with net worth, put myself through university, and received no handouts once. The key was a high paying job (do your research, and they won't be easy jobs) with VERY meager living standards for a long time. My car is worth about three thousand dollars. I'm pretty sure I have the shittiest car out of my entire group of colleagues, and I can pretty much guarantee you I have more money than them. That is the only way man, anyone who says otherwise is full of shit. If you're 24 your best bet is to go into a lucrative trade; do your research, and look for what industries are growing. Find a speciality position that nobody wants to do, and charge your own rate. You may be able to get to 3-500k by 30, and maybe 3-5 million by 40. You likely won't ever hit 40 million in today's value of currency ever, hate to say it man. good luck.

Make an ice cream stand on wheels and go to parks where families are playing with their children and baseball/softball games are played. Better too is that you could go back every summer after, even mostly on the weekends.

Thanks man, appreciate the input. I haven't really considered the entrepreneurial path but I'll brainstorm.

My field is in Software Engineering so yeah it is all about finding your niche and becoming a specialist, which can be easier to achieve than other industries I reckon. The only thing the tech industry is constantly evolving every 6 months, what you learn in Uni - the real world is already made redundant.

I'm not a materialistic guy compared to my friends or even that greedy, so I'm okay with grafting and spending conservatively.

where I live there is no chance of that happening, ice cream vans are fierce competition. But yeah maybe selling a bunch of cheap Frisbees, flags n shit in the park.
