There are no ways to "get rich quick" that are legal.

Your bread and butter is going to be A) increasing income B) increasing that income through investing and C) lowering expenses.

RE: increasing income, as has been talked about here, the tech industry is absolutely booming right now and is a goldmine.

its easier when you have a woman with you. i've had to "fly a sign" before, and with women with me would net hundreds of dollars, but by myself could barely afford a hotel. we were also young, i imagine as you get older people have less and less sympathy, unfortunately, even though thats probably when people need it most.

That's still probably not the smart way to do it.

If you're a couple, which I was when I did this, we would never beg as a couple, we would split up and beg separately at two different locations. That way you can significantly increase the number of people who see you.

You're right though, women will usually make more money all else being equal.

oh yeah, i mean at one point when i was traveling with two women, they made like $700 just standing there with a sign together that said "lost at sea" lol
 
Perhaps you should look into aquaculture OP. You can find links online indicating that there is explosive growth potential here...in fact, I've been nosing around myself regarding this industry. (I hail from a coastal, maritime background though so I have some advantages regarding the kind of gear you'd need and state-issued loans/permitting, etc.) Kelp is used in a variety of applications, including biofuel, dermatological products, food, bioplastic etc. It also reduces CO2 in the atmosphere and may be a piece in the puzzle of addressing climate change, and reversing some of the damage we've done to our marine environment.

Not a way to "get rich" necessarily, but does have the potential to lead a meaningful, fulfilling life which (at least has the potential to be) can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. :) I've been so privileged to have had the background I've had as an agricultural worker, providing food for people...and farming the sea seems like a great way to continue that active outdoor lifestyle.

It's still ground-level, too...the production capacity hasn't been developed to anywhere near where it'll ultimately go IMO. Some of the processing companies in the town I live in have dabbled a bit in it, but it's still only in the beginning stages (which is frustrating when trying to find a market, but I think this will change soon).

That's pretty good. You can make really good money begging if you know what you're doing.

It's a horrible horrible job, but if you're desperate and need money fast.. Like say, you're a heroin addict. It's a good option.

And it's a lot less socially harmful than most other options.
 
Getting rich isn't as important as spending your time and effort working towards something that makes you feel fulfilled and happy. If you're immersed in the world that you love, doing something you're passionate about and love, the money will come. You'll grow to meet people and make connections, and you'll find new opportunities as you go.

Money does not buy happiness. Some of the most miserable people I've ever known are rich, and some of the happiest people I've ever known just make enough to get by, but are doing something that brings them joy to do.

while i agree money without purpose = addiction, i think this is a really privileged comment - sorry to be sterotypical. i just think most people learning physical trades or doing manual labor dont have the *privilege* of saying that
 
Well I didn't really mean that exactly. The fact of the matter is that money does not buy happiness, but lack of sufficient money does create misery, as financial stress is awful. But once you can support your lifestyle and eliminate the worry, you'[re good, you know? No need to become rich just for the sake of being rich. I think society pushes that idea way too hard, so people end up chasing something that they find doesn't make them feel the way they thought it would when they get it.

I still stand by my point that doing something you enjoy is the most important thing to having a fulfilled and happy life. But first, you need to at least make sure you can make enough money to be able to meet your needs, or else you face chronic stress and anxiety that makes life very hard to life.

And my point is also that there are so many stories of people [pursuing a certain goal for much of their young lives, and eventually becoming, say, a lawyer, and then finding that it doesn't fulfill them. And then they get involved in something they care about and their lives and careers take off in ways they never could have imagined. Sometimes this involves becoming wealthy (say someone becomes an artist and eventually makes it doing what they love), but even if it only leads to being able to support oneself, if the thing you are spending your energy and time on in and of itself, regardless of money made, makes you feel fulfilled and happy... well then, who is in the better position? The rich lawyer or banker or whatever who is lonely and never satisfied and hates his work, or the person who lives frugally but comfortably and is excited to go into work every day to do what they love?

Sorry if any of this is garbled, I took some etizolam and I can't be bothered to proofread beyond the red underlined spell check fixes.

i feel you, i agree with a lot of what you said. i just saw you say you are also in the tech industry, and surely making 50k at least, 100k at the most (usually, but maybe by 300k) more than your friends must appeal to your opinion somehow, i mean especially here in the usa where you can get involved without a degree
 
I was talking about something that could make everyone potentially rich over in the investing chat. Its really simple, but I guess its not for everyone.
Yes its cryptos....

If you are the OP, i totally forgot, and this is a flaw of mine on most forums. 777 posts at that. 777 is a special number for me. maybe i should work on this and i would have more friends?
 
My employment background is in the "physical trades and manual labor", I agree with what Xorkoth wrote pretty much...I've never understood people who are obsessed with money or material objects, personally. The basic material means of existence, the means of supporting yourself financially and taking care of your health and your loved ones, that's important and far too many people here in the USA lack even that...but it doesn't provide the kind of fulfillment you receive from contributing in a positive way to your community IMO. Some people get that through their employment, others through different ways. So in that sense the cliche "money doesn't buy happiness" is true, from my perspective anyway. Personally I'd rather live a comfortable "middle class" existence w/ dignified work than be some rich predatory asshole.
 
i guess ive just met a lot more people that struggle to meet the needs of their lifestyle than the average person. i might be sort of wrong with the "manual labor" part (ive done it and its much harder than what i usually do), maybe the physical trades, idk, on top of that i also know electricians and therapists and teachers and physisists with degrees (okay maybe not hte electricians) that make a lot less - amounts i would see having trouble getting by with in the long run, maybe *just* squeezing by, at least in the usa by comparison

I spent the winter holidays holed up in a hotel with a couple, and a third woman (who was also a periodic escort). They panhandled the freeway ramp next to the hotel, where they were wintering. In warmer months they lived in pretty comfortable tents in the woods, rent free. I spent about $3 to their $1 as we consumed crack cocaine for about a week. I spent $2800 dollars on rocks, so that means they spend over $300 each day just on ephemeral bliss. Every morning their pockets were empty, but every evening the hotel rent was paid, their bellies full of fast food, and we had smoked crack most of the day. Their workdays consisted of 2, 2 hour shifts each. Except when it rained and then work was called off. The hotel room was overflowing with snack food, MREs, canned and dried goods donations. While I was there, someone took my new friend, named "Boots", shopping for a new pair of boots. They cost the lady $110 dollars. I have been staying in touch with them, in case I need to exit the legitimate world for some reason. Not get rich quick by any means, but some kind of live life well on the kindness of strangers and don't worry about nothing. I can dig that.

I was paralyzed for almost an hour yesterday when my post count hit 500. It was unbearable. Finally I couldn't take it any longer and a veritable flurry of fastpostings landed all over bluelight. This morning I looked at them in dismay. Typos! Weak arguments. Poor detail. Not enough length! I fixed it all up though.
