Hello /biz/. One simple yet complicated question.

How does an early 30s wageslave alcoholic get wealthy? How does he turn 500$ today into 5$ mil tomorrow (hypothetically). Is it day trading? Penny stocks? Crypto? Cold hard PMs?

Can you turn or advise a newfag fresh to the world of wealth and try to get them wealthy? I know its vague but with shared knowledge and experience is a sense of accomplishment and verification. If you became wealthy, are you willing to make others too?

Nobody knows. And nobody will reveal their secrets if they do. The only way you’ll make it is stop consuming, reduce your debts, and begin investing now. You’re looking for lottery tickets, your mindset is completely wrong. Even if you “made it”, you know you’d spend it all.
What would you do if someone handed you $200k? Well, assuming you’ve worked since 18, you’ve probably had well over 200k in excess money pass through your hands and look what you have after all of that. $500. If someone handed you a million, you’d go buy a Lambo and mcmansion and lose it all within 2-4 years. Change your entire brain and ascend to man-conscious. Your net worth is your knights sword today. Cut through challenges, collect your rewards, and improve your sword. Rinse repeat. Nobody is going to give you the cheat code, as it will diminish their own returns.

Begin watching Dave Ramseys YouTube rants. A good one is “how to become a millionaire” If you don’t get passionate, you have no chance. I became inspired almost immediately, and turned -30k off debt into positive $139k in two years. I only make $22/hr I work a shit ton of overtime.
Investment instruments are relative. It depends if you want high risk high reward or not. Precious metals are only OK investments. You want to at least see 10%/yr average returns on your investment and keep investing. People making a million on one trade is highly unlikely. Get skilled at buying low and selling high. You can do it with anything. Stocks, watches, cars, houses. Get skilled, save money, and put away into long term investments. It’s the only way.

Putting that $500 into debts is the best start. Interest is killing your potential returns. Get debt free and only have debt for houses, or a business that is seen more like a money printer to you. All other debt is for the plebs and peasants. The Poor stay poor for a reason. Once you’re debt free start investing on Vanguard into decent indexes, mutual funds, etfs. You need to know about your investments or you’ll jump in and out and get nowhere. The only alternative is if you get skilled at buying low, selling high, then obviously your returns are much higher than 10%. The best flip strategy is go for at least 30% profit margins. I’ve been flipping cars for a couple years and I net over $1000 minimum per car. Less than 10 hours of work per car as well.

What got me here is a “cash is king” mindset. I only owe on my mortgage and I flip cars and work overtime. I’ve never been more excited about life in general as my flipping strategy will allow me to quit my job when I move to a higher populated area next year. Risk mitigation is highest priority. For example, I know what a car is worth, so I know a good deal. Which reduces my risk. If I buy a house to flip for example, my risk is very high since I know little about real estate.
Reduce risk and cash is king. You’ll make it, you just need to grind.

Thing is I'm not in much debt at all. In fact I think I'm a net positive. Not by much but I can easily invest 500$ into something. Btw I watched the Dave Ramsey vid. It's inspiring but dated. Don't know if credit unions do Roth IRAs or if I can find a good mutual fund but it's a start.

But you insinuate I wouldn't make it in the long run cause I would loose my gains after initial successes right? Isn't that what the stock market game is about for some? Unknown investments either going big or broke? What I'm after is to escape the rat race. To have a decent shot of short term success into long term security.

Okay that’s good, mutual funds take almost no thought. Always bet on the winning horse. If it’s performed over 10% for 30 years, it’s probably a safe bet as long as you hold more than 5 years.
Sorry to say there is no easy answer. The motivation is a snowball effect. You have a measly $500, but once you grow your net worth to $50,000 you will be more motivated than ever to do what you can to escape the wage cage. It comes faster than you think, as well. I simply stopped spending. I pack a lunch every day for work. I only buy things I use daily. I enjoyed 8 years after high school mindlessly spending, I don’t have the “well if I die tomorrow then I just wasted all that time saving” thoughts (those are the most common comments I receive When people find out I’m a super saver) I’m having more fun now than I ever did consuming product after product. Everyone my age makes fun of me, but the people 20 yrs older than me praise my mission. I want to wake up on a Tuesday afternoon and do what I want, and not have to answer to a boss, landlord, or bank. One day I’ll be debt free entirely and independent from an employer and I’ll do what the fuck I please. Sacrificing a consumerist life is worth the reward.

Put your money into a savings account periodically. Make it grow. Your goal is something around 10k.
While you make it grow, use all your free time studying options and graphical analysis.
Once you get your 10k, split it in 10 one thousand dollars "bets".
Apply what you learned in options trading. it's the quickest way to double your money. Never go all in. Use one bet at a time to get used to it. You have 10 chances before going broke, you'll learn it before that.
Godspeed, anon.

What I have learned so far is:
~Takes luck, discipline and commitment to invest in a good yield stock
~If I gamble there are high risk losses compared to high gains
~The market is volatile and unpredictable in nature. Safe bets are low yield while you can get lucky
~Boob afficionados are a vocal minority
~You need the drive and ambition to want to get rich.

This is very enlightening. I am learning a lot and facing certain issues in my life. Cathartic

It’s basically a mini index fund. A collection of stocks picked by experts with the end goal of outperforming the Sp500. Just get a vanguard account. US GROWTH is the best performing, but highest risk as they acquire emerging assets (newer companies). Crypto is aright if you know what to do. You can chase pump and dumps, or accumulate the top coins like bitcoin or eth and hope it’s worth 100x in 10 years. Either way, there is never gonna be a quick path to riches. They call them “get rich quick schemes” for a reason.

No, look up Vanguard on google and make an account. It takes some time to figure out, but doable as a normie. You need to understand what you’re buying, though. You will jump in and out when you don’t know what you’re doing. A financial advisor could be very beneficial to you, if you choose the passive investment route.

If you plan to keep waging, I would roll it over to a Roth and put at least 10%, better yet, 15% if you can stretch it. You just want to ignore it for the scope of your life. Only other option is cash it out early if you can outperform 10%/yr gains with it The whole money printing thing is really the secret of the rich, but luck plays a big role and you most likely won’t be sitting at a computer running your own business. It seems you’re looking to stay the same but put your money in the right place. You just need to understand this is another 30 years of working for you. 10 years and practicing the right skill, you could own millions. But the easy route is always more appealing, isn’t it?

Also the reason it’s good to keep your money mostly in mutual funds because if it’s locked away in a roth, borrowing against it is usually always a Terrible idea. You can sell your funds and etfs and cash out any time. If you discover a gold mine and need funding, you can withdraw. It is all about risk mitigation, in the end, so 401ks are fueling the stock market by a large margin.
The punishment for ignoring a Roth, like I am (for now) is not benefitting from the tax deduction. If you’re paying 23% now, and in 30 years, the tax rate is 40%, you won’t be paying that, you withdraw with no income tax since you paid your dues when you put money in your Roth IRA which enables you to profit even harder over the next 30 years. It’s the safest route right now for normies. The cap is $6k/yr.
