/biz/ - Business & Finance

My motivation to make it is to make it for all my homies who couldn't

I want a taste of the good life. I don't just mean comfy with a few nice things, I want an empire. Land, collections of fine art, resources, the works. Money will help me get there, but where do I start? I've played with options and had moderate success and learned some expensive lessons.

What's the next step here? Real estate? Trade on margin? I am unwilling to do anything with crypto because I don't think any of it's legit. The tech behind it is legit though. But I digest. Where do I go from here?

I did warehouse work for a few months between finishing my degree and getting a better paying job. Let me tell why it's not so bad, and why it's fucking terrible sometimes:

Pros:
>you don't take your work home with you, ever. work stays at work
>physical labor really does keep the body strong. just don't be a fatty who eats junk food every day because it's nearby and you didn't think ahead
>at least at my job, I was paid weekly. The time value of the money was much more important to me at the time

Cons:
>there are some real fuckin' knuckleheads in manual labor. I had to deal with one guy who thought that I thought I was better than him because I went to college (even though we were doing the same job)
>arduous, monotonous, not varied. gets boring after the first two weeks
>if you have a manager like I had, there will be lots of corporate bullshit to deal with. one guy left a box opener on the top of a shelf and even though he owned up to it, we all had to sit through a talking-to
