Fuck. I'm 22 and just quit a sales job so now I'm broke living with my pops. Felt no respect from my company or manager and also had an intuitive sense I didn't belong, so I peaced the fuck out. It seems like the only option in this country is to sell your soul to the system while some rich cunt pats you on the shoulder. There is no way I could endure 4 decades of being someone's bitch.
How the FUCK do I come up with an idea for entrepreneurship or at least what skills are good foundations to build from?

There's really no way around it at this point. Get a skill and start working a lot of hours to try and get ahead. Try to live at home and save. You can't live like a typical American and piss away whatever you make. The next 10 years should be nothing but work and save, no restaurants/bars, nothing but basic cars, no vacations, no wasting money on relationships, no gambling, no drug habits. Make it count and pick the skill you want and like. After 10 years of doing this you will be ahead of 75% of the people at the same age, you can do it.

You're 22. You probably suck, so that's why you didn't get any respect
But that's fine. You'll get better with more experience. Sales has always seemed gross to me. There is plenty of work out there that doesn't involve lying to people's faces. Get you a nice labor job, build something with your hands, it can be very satisfying. You are likely to always have a boss telling you what to do, one way or another. Best to get over that as soon as you can. Not every boss is an asshole who makes you their bitch, and I applaud you for having the balls to quit instead of take that. But you need to practice taking direction without taking it personally. Entrepreneurship? How many millions of dollars do you have in the bank for startup costs? Every one of my friends that has been able to buy a house, have their masters degree or more.

Great Advice Anon #2.
So my advice is to first assess your own skills. What are you good at? Are you good at talking to people as you did in the Sales job? Perhaps you have mechanical skills? Or you're good at cooking? Take some online skill tests and find out what your are naturally good at. And since you are only 22, you have tons of time to figure out that question. But yeah, you're kinda right about selling your soul to the system. We all have to work for "The Man" aka the richer boss/CEO who owns the company. But imagine this, what if your boss is cool and you respected them and they respected you? Those kinds of companies do exist. Id suggest working for a small start-up company if you can find one. I currently do and its really awesome. Everyone is so friendly and easy-going, a great place to work. Ive had shitty jobs, I know how awful they can be, from the work to the management. Once you figure out your skillset, practice on those skills then find a company with a mission statement that seems to line up with your ideals. Or maybe move to a legal state and be a salesperson in recreational marijuana. In the future, it could even be recreational/medicinal magic mushrooms. As for an entrepreneurship, that one is tricky. Basically, you have to be kind of a genius and invent something or a service that is totally novel. And if your idea is good enough, you could get funding from banks or even the government. Not an easy task by any means but not impossible. Or you just study the market of a specific city and start a business in a niche market, for example a home/industrial landscaping business. If you really wanna go the small business route, take a class on Business Entrepreneurship and see if its something you could see yourself doing.

Paul Stamets book on gourmet mushrooms is a good start.
Here’s the thing starting out. You will always be someone’s bitch working for someone and making them money, while going broke. If you start a business you’ll easily work 80 hours a week trying to make it. I own a landscape company, it’s tough as hell but the money is good. But I’m not wealthy, but I’m not someone’s bitch either. Big difference. I make good money I’m not doing it to be broke. Your always buying equipment, marketing, somethings always broken, you have to plan ahead, gas, flat tires etc etc… but I support my family. You can make crazy money growing shrooms for your friends start small word of mouth hire a friend you won’t keep up. That’s what I would do. Or work for someone and stay broke. Work for yourself and work 80 hours a week. Grow a few gourmet shrooms to the restraunts in your area and for your friends. Probably make 5k a month starting. That’s where I would start. Every business is saturated with low ballers and thieves, you can mow a lawn for 60 but some asshole will do it for 25, you can’t afford to. You need insurance, truck insurance, pay employees per hour. Business licenses. There’s a lot to it, there really is. I’d go the mushroom route for now, easy startup money. Flow hood, pressure cooker, jars and a few totes.

Good advice Annon #6.
Annon #1, check out the Edible and Medicinal forum. Lots of good info on how to start growing. Its different from growing magic mushrooms as most are cold-climate fruiting although there is a couple tropical species. Read and research then enjoy. There is also edible Mushroom Hunting if you live in the right climate/area.

I will try to be brief. There is no shame in living with family while you build up, especially in a system that is deteriorating. I myself still live with family while I grow my income and I entertained the idea of joining the system as a mercenary but decided against it. I am not a financial advisor and I am certainly not qualified to be one; nothing in this post should be taken as financial or legal advice.
The economic and social system that exists in much of the developed world is designed to produce obedient, ignorant surfs. Workers with set hours and for a wage or "earned income"; the highest taxed form of earnings. The surfs are taught from the cradle that they must get good grades, take on enormous college debts, get a good job, and save money in their 401K, buy bonds, live within their means, etc, and possibly live long enough to retire happily on a fixed income that gets obliterated by theft via inflation. I'm in my 30s. I was taught this system but I gained enough knowledge and experience in life to see it for what it is before I was late in years; a rigged game. The system creates debt slaves, tax cattle, and a working class that perpetually balance their income against expenses and liabilities. A "working class" that perpetually try to move up in life. The working class may get better skills, more hours, a higher salary; but ultimately they will continue to spin the hamster wheel of "moving up in life", earning more money while never getting truly getting ahead of the system. The more money they earn, the more liabilities and expenses they buy with it. A bigger house, a new car, a new cellphone, that vacation they always wanted to take, etc; but ultimately nothing changes financially. A few people will have an epiphany and stop moving up in life; they may start reading financial books and educate themselves on a critical subject that the public and private education system failed them on. Likewise, their parents probably didn't know about to begin with. They will learn about assets, passive income, maximize deductions, protecting their money from taxation, and start putting money into their savings account for the strict purposes of emergency and acquiring greater assets. The great majority will remain debt slaves, tax cattle, rats in the race, hamsters, whatever you want to call those still playing a rigged game. I'll refrain from going into how wages aren't actually income and the IRS is evil, etc. Unless you have an army of lawyer; it's irrelevant. Don't mistake me; civilizations needs chemists, tissue cultivators, material scientists, etc, but the people filling these roles for earned income can also build passive income as well. High-skill roles that require a degree such as STEM, legal, etc, are the only reason to seek a college degree. Be aware that a college degree is no more than a measure of "work done"; you are purchasing specialized knowledge that you can acquire for free at archive.org. Unless you specifically need the degree, college is a scam. The system detests those who can teach themselves. Self-teaching and seeking a certification maybe a better route for some people. The current chaos is not exclusively for lack of financial education. Part of why it is difficult to make an honest living anymore is due to the fact that our society is moving from high-trust down to low-trust. It's difficult for a civilization to function when trust among people is destroyed. Honest people are squeezed out. Public and even private schools no longer teach even a tenth of the life-knowledge that they used to; it is by design. There was a time when kids were taught to recognize totalitarianism and all other "isms", to critically think, question ideas, to recognize scams, and to create with their hands; but those days are gone unless you are in a good private school or taught at home. I won't go too deep into it but the destruction of the public school system is but one part of what brought us to the mess we are in. Rampant immorality, promiscuity, the destruction of western culture, are all contributors. Few fathers teach their sons moral or financial responsibility; few mothers teach their daughters decency or matters of the home. Honest to God virtue and honor are rare. The hot trend today is to bash America and bash the west; despite the still fertile grounds available to grow ideas, businesses, and be financially well-to-do or even financially free. Capitalism is painted as evil and yet it is capitalism that allows people like me to apply themselves and to build up from nothing and to pull the people around them up. A low trust society will not prevent anyone from building wealth but it is another obstacle that must be navigated. People and businesses must meet a higher standard of scrutiny, and safeguards must be implemented to prevent back stabbers, ambulance chasers, etc. Anyone with even a shred of moral fortitude or character will find it difficult to remain honest in a society that has rotted from the inside out. Businesses have to sift through rubbish to find a few good workers and good workers have to measure multiple businesses before finding one that won't screw them. You will have to contend with a low-trust society and low-trust people if you live in a low-trust area; especially when you begin building passive income. Now, with all that out of the way, assuming you made it this far, you probably want to know how to make an honest living and make some money without being a slave. Employers are not money trees and small business owners do not swim in a private bank full of gold coins like Donald Duck. Wages are purely a negotiation between the employer and the employee; if you want more, ask for more. Most people are afraid to ask for more and accept what they get; although I wouldn't hire you myself because you seem to have a rotten attitude to the work place. Truth be told, I don't have employees, nor do I want them. Be sure you make yourself worth more before you ask for more. Money will come to those who hold money. Money follows the law of useful service. Money has no respect for anyone that works for it. You need an initial source of income (a job or sole proprietorship) and restrict your expenses and liabilities as much as possible. Needs only; no eating out, thrift spending, new cloths beyond what the job requires, etc. Yes, you will be working for money to start with but you will not always work for it. Begin building your first asset which is your savings account. Always pay yourself first unless you have religious obligations. If something takes money out of your hand, it is a liability, if it puts money in your hand, then it is an asset. You must provide a useful service (or good) for money to come to you, there is no way around it outside of a government gig that will pay you with tax dollars to do nothing. If you are not providing useful service as a sole proprietor, no one will buy from you. If you aren't providing useful service to an employer, he won't retain you. A job usually isn't going to be pleasant, it's a job, it's work, someone else is buying several hours of your time and it belongs to them now. Bear with the job and work hard at it, slack off and you get fired. While you build your seed money or principle investment, you should be getting a financial education from books or from paid-classes. When you have a tidy sum saved up begin making that money work for you. Money works for you now and money makes more money. Explore purchasing tax liens, real estate, or a well researched, undervalued stocks that provide useful service and maintain cash reserves, low debt to asset ratios, etc. Be sure in your plan for what you are going to do with it and follow through. If you mean to flip a house, then flip it; if you mean to rent, then rent it. Trading up real estate while using 1031 tad deferment is an excellent way to build your assets and net worth. You can perpetually defer your taxes indefinitely by trading up your holdings within seven years. I plan to acquire business lots when I am financially able to do so; they will be made build ready and sold, or leased. For now, I work on building my business up and building my initial principle. I will be providing a useful service of maintaining suitable properties for other people to build businesses on or use as retail space before trading up as their own business grows. Removing your principle from a stock once it goes up will secure your seed money and now you have a stock position for free. Leave that position alone and put your principle into another. You will need to research what the laws are in your state on the purchase of tax liens. Sometimes you get good property out of it too, but usually people want to keep their property and pay off their lien. Sometimes the person dies and has no heirs or the family doesn't want to deal with it and you get it for the cost of backed taxes. DO NOT bid on anything you have not physically stepped foot on, sometimes a property doesn't physically exist or has no legal access route. Texas is one of the best states for tax liens, checking obituaries and helping people unload unwanted properties, etc. Remember that low-trust part? Be respectful to the people who just suffered loss and know that more than a few snakes probably showed up before you made your offer. Good deals can be found on the courthouse steps as well. It sounds stupid, but profits are made on the purchase of the asset, not on the selling of it. Property bought during the slumps of market cycles will not remain low in value; they will rise with the market cycle and forces. Energy trusts are a good market to make money as well but I've gone on long enough. I'm not going to go into the whole song and dance about people thinking making their money work for them is unethical or immoral. If you weren't providing a useful service to one party or another, the money would not flow to you. By buying tax liens, you keep county workers paid. By owning rental property, you provide transient workers and seasonal migrants with a good place to stay, etc. "Rich Dad Poor Dad", "Think and Grow Rich", "The Richest Man in Babylon", "Financial Peace" - by Dave Ramsey, etc, are a few books to start with. There are several more on real-estate but I forget the names of them. TL;DR The system is screwed, get out of it as soon as you can and build passive income through tax liens, real-estate, intellectual property, vending machines, and useful service. Financially educate yourself through books and classes. The west is becoming a low-trust society and you will need to navigate that. An honest living is possible but it takes smarts as well as work.

It's said that time is money but the difference is that a man always knows how much money he has, but he doesn't know how much time he has. - wisdom I picked up in the past.
If it's in BTC, I would leave there; but it's your money to do with what you will. Being younger, you can take greater risks and recover from them. There is always risk in anything but minimizing it is important; always make sure you principle is secure and quickly recoverable from whatever it might be invested in. I would pull my initial investment out after it has doubled or tripled and put the principle into another, or into savings, while keeping the now "free" position in crypto. The dollar is crashing into a fiery heap and will inevitably lose its reserve status. More people are accepting crypto all the time as payment for goods and services. I myself took a few payments in Ethereum some years ago but converted it to Reserve Notes (dollars) as soon as possible due to volatility and fear, then spent them. Expect crypto to go up and down in the years to come, but ultimately higher when priced in dollars because of hyper inflation. Both cash and crypto payment methods are setup on the back end of my site for when I inevitably get de-platformed by paypal. They are a button away from enabling; I suspect it's the same for many others and an indication that crypto is still on the way up long-term. I missed the crypto bandwagon multiple times for one reason or another. The worst was when it was just a benchmark with no monetary value but I was too young to figure out the command line miners. Oh well, one opportunity closes but another comes along; be ready when it does. I do keep several thousand in precious metals but they are for wealth preservation, they are a savings account, and not something to make money on. I do believe they are under valued and I park a small amount of earnings in them when I can, usually once a year. Silver rounds make good Christmas and birthday gifts, being an inexpensive gift that doesn't come across as "being cheap". No Christmas list shopping hysteria. There are a lot of paths to riches but trying to chase all of them with limited resources will likely result in slower progress or even loss. A word on hours since it was brought up by Anon #6. I work maybe 10-20 hours a week; work smarter, not harder. Your best asset is your brain, train it. If you have a high paying job then working longer hours may be worth it in the short term to build up some cash reserves to begin building passive income with but I don't know too many people who WANT to work all their lives or even just their best years. My nursery is small right now but It was built with the leftovers of my savings account and scraps from other peoples businesses. It made a measly few hundred in its first year, about a thousand in its second, this year will be several thousand, and next will increase further with the addition of another greenhouse; nearly all of it going back into it. Progress would be faster if I got a job and an earned income stream but I don't want to work for other people. There is a great deal that never makes it to the books in monetary value such as cleared land, road improvement, improved drainage, landscaping, food grown for my own consumption, hunting, etc. Working more hours in in my case will not increase productivity, the plants grow at the rate they grow at and that is fast enough since they are on track. They work for me regardless of my physical presence. As for Anon #9, I will add "Closers" to my reading list. I doubt it was instant but probably after reading and applying the knowledge within. One step at a time for me. Edited by Anonymous (10/24/21 10:28 AM)

You got to figure out what works for you. No one lives the same life, we are all of varying ages, locations, personalities, skills, experience. What works for one will not work for another. U will do well to listen to those that align with u, find ppl how have what u want, and learn from them. You'll find out more about yourself and life the older u get, be patient with urself and ur growth. Just an idea if u like helping the world, u could explore mycopesticides. Everyone gets bug problems from time to time, and it'd be a way to fill that need while lowering the chemicals in the environment. Probably make more money with less mycelium than u would in gourmets. As for bosses, u do need to be comfortable taking shit from work in general but know ur boundaries. If u apply ur not applying to get bullied, talked to like a child any of that. So when ur working if bosses cross the line remind them of that. Ask them, so when I applied what did I apply for? What was I hired for. Oh to do this job, to be managed in a mature manner. Did I apply so u could make sarcastic marks? So u could raise ur voice to me? So u could take it out on me when Mrs and u had a fight? No? Okay then, if u have issues in ur life go kick rocks, but when u come to me I expect u to speak to me with mutual respect or we can have this discussion with ur boss present. Two things r likely, the company generally doesn't care, in which case fuck the job, work it till u find another and do what u want in the meantime. Or two, the job does care, the boss thought his behavior could fly cause ur young, u checked him, now he will do better cause he knows it's not okay, that u won't take it, and that if it continues it'll be brought to the attention of higher ups. Ppl treat young ppl like dirt cause they generally don't do anything about it. Just remember why I were hired, if ur work falls in that realm do it. If it doesn't, take no prisoners and be ruthless. Ppl r generally far more careless than u may realize, so don't make excuses for em.

There is some decent advice given here, and some shitty advice
You have to find what you love doing. If you like working with your hands, there is a lot of moolah to be made in home repairs or remodeling You have to get the skills somewhere but start up costs are a few hundred bucks then you keep buying tools as you need them and build and build. I went from making $10/hr doing roofs for someone else, to $20 an hour working for my own customers, to owning 5 houses, to making between $200-1000/hr working for one of the world's largest retailers. Because they can't find anyone else to do my job I can pretty much charge what I want Fuck the naysayers that posted above, you don't have to be a genius or rich to start off. Live a decent life while building a better life and don't feel like you can't buy yourself anything If you spend 10 years doing nothing but working and never giving yourself a break you'll fucking give up before you make it. Do fun things with your money, just do it on things that are ACTUALLY worth it and don't piss it away on a bunch of little things I will leave out the parts about how hard it is and how much stress you'll feel not knowing where your next check is coming from. You have to be able to deal with that or at least suffer thru it while working towards better times. The rule of supply and demand is key. Doing what others can't or aren't willing to do is key A landlord sent me to investigate a dead animal smell under a house once. I was the third guy he sent. The 1st one gave up when he smelled it from 20 feet away, the 2nd one tried but puked and left. I got that rotted decaying smelly ass otter out and keep his skull in my work truck as a reminder to always go above and beyond what others are willing to do. That landlord now loves me enough to pay me double the rate of his regular guys and is about to cut me a check for around $200k for my run down properties because I work too much for him and on other jobs and he'd rather buy my houses than see me take time off from working to fix them up 1st things 1st, what do you love to do and who is willing to pay you for it?

Worse than those that steal all day so they don't have to work and can still buy drugs? Also, landlords don't horde shelter. They buy properties and allow others to pay to live in said properties, that's the whole fucking point of it Just because you were an asshole of a tenant and your landlord had to deal with your sorry ass doesn't mean landlords are bad Go fuck yourself and think before you post

I always made it a point to rent from small landlords and to leave the place better than I found it when I rented. Just like when I go to sell, I will sell at under the market value(just like I bought), and will know the buyer.
Landlords do damage on a societal level, they serve absolutely zero purpose except to extort profit from those who are not as financially accomplished as they are. Landlords extort by charging a fee to live in a residence that is large enough to generate profit, by generating profit off of a living quarters, they inflate the prices of properties in an area, in turn the people who can only afford to rent in our credit-based lending system get further priced out by the increasing cost of homeownership because the cost of housing is being artificially inflated by landlords and their sick obsession with "passive income." It's very similar to the patent system chaining innovation by incentivizing the parsing of technological innovations to better serve the patent holders R&D payout. Perhaps you believe our economic system is a meritocracy where wealth is accumulated based on who deserves it, but I have not yet met a deserving wealthy person- a few entitled ones. If anything, it serves the most exploitative first and the amoral next.

I think OP, Anon #13, and you all have valid points. There are huge systemic cracks in the USA that are only getting worse. Ethics and morality are definitely hinderances to making money. Rent and the monopolization of real estate are real problems that will get much worse within our lifetimes. And as you mentioned, you can’t really blame the small landlords on the individual level for trying to make a buck. Like I said, the tendency to monopolization of industries and asset classes will eventually render (probably sooner than we think) the small landlord obsolete.

We’ll aren’t you just full of assumptions!
This isn’t an argument anymore than you think it is. I thought we were discussing things I’m getting paid while I do this because my life is setup to have the freedom to do that Better take a look pal, your jealousy is showing

Nobody is jealous of you.
You’re an incredibly sad person to me. Look at how and where you’re seeking validation. All that money still couldn’t buy you an actual friend.

Quote: This dumbass obviously knows too much to be able to learn anything and is likely just here to troll the poasters that will let him. I'm just chiming in because it's my personal observation that #14 is likely a broke dick that always blames his problems on others or the world in general. Try taking some responsibility for your own situation and perhaps you can respect others more genuinely.

Quote: I have more money now, in my late 30’s, than it’s likely you and your children will ever earn in your entire lifetimes. My net worth is many times over that of the contractor who I was speaking to. You people of middling success who equate everything with money really crack me up. I’m wealthy enough and educated enough to be aware of how it all actually works. You’re living off my crumbs. That’s a point of pride for people like you.

You are incorrect junior.
I made my first million before I was 24, with nothing more than my ability to convince the wealthy to spend some money. You have proven that you have no clue what you're talking about and you have also strongly suggested that you are a full of shit, because if you really did have any assets to speak of you likely would understand the basic principles of business in a capitalist economy and wouldn't be bashing small time landlords so hard.🤡 In reality I would bet you're just butthurt about the evection moratorium being lifted. Please pull your head out of your ass and ask yourself if your post makes you sound like an unbelievable douchebag before you press that button.

I hope you’re managing other people’s money better than you’re punctuating and spelling these posts of yours.

Happy Monday Haters!
Just wanted to update the thread after doing numbers for Nov My average weekly income has increased 4 out of every 5 weeks for this entire year. I set what I thought was a lofty goal for weekly income this year and my average is 25% above goal I also wanted to point out that the general vagueness of others posters' claims of wealth don't add up to an oz of credibility and I still think you're a bunch of broke ass punk kids who for some reason think you'll feel better about being losers if you claim to have "made a million by 24"

I live in a 3rd world country.
I am self employed and I earn just enough to get by comfortably(not struggling too much). I dont have those million dollars but if I do, it will be tenfolds worth of our money and would be a hell lot of purchasing power in here. My mental health is pretty stable and my physical health is kinda good as well. I sleep well. Im not paying up any loans nor owe any one or organization any funds. Im a bit generous too. Im just generally happy you know. I have a small savings(liquid) for emergency purposes and in case I need handsome amounts on the fly. Im not against earning too much but I dont think I would be needing too much money. Although buying some properties(and be freakin off-grid!)and acquiring vehicles to travel comfortably would be nice. Im a regular commuter btw. Anyway. I think western globalization and colonialization taught the entire world to be too materialistic. Heres the shit. You work all your life to pay for a big house you dont get to sleep in to anyway. And we miss the point... All im saying is we can learn to be content. We can all have all the money in the world and still be fucking miserable, which can somehow push us to be psychopathic too.

All good points my brother. Glad to hear you are making things work for yourself. Not being in debt is important
I only keep debts on houses that my business owns, no personal credit cards or car payments

Quote: Thank you. Things will work only if you allow it to work and you strive to make it work. I hope you are well too, bro. I double, triple that. Not being in debt, for me, is important. You dont have credit cards? You sure youre an american? Just kidding. I can eat what I want. Purchase essential items when I need to. We got roof on our heads. Running water. Food on the table. Blankets.. I couldnt ask for anything else really. Aside from, maybe a piece of land, a space where I can perhaps farm and work the soil. And to borrow from Fight Club: "We buy things we dont need, with money we dont have, to impress the people we dont like."

My man we are clearly two peas in a pod even though we're on opposite (I'm guessing) sides of the globe
If you're doing that well in a 3rd world country and have that great of an attitude, it's no surprise that you're doing well but it's still impressive. If these soft minded self defeating young people in America lived where you do, I'm sure they'd wither up and die. Conversely, if they had your attitude they would likely be finding more success and stop blaming everything around them for their failures I quote Fight Club all the time and credit it with shaping my mentality in a good way.. We must learn to let that which truly doesn't matter...slide

My plan is to try and get famous by making videos on Tik Tok so that way I can become a millionaire and dont have to get a job. Im unemployed right now and the idea of needing a job when I get older scares me. I might not be able to get a real job so I need to try and figure something else and Tik Tok is the only thing I can think of so far.

My favorite job ever was, Being a delivery driver.
Note i had a positive outlook, because my shit jobs of past. I was busy and in the open air during the day. Home in evenings, party at night. Felt needed and respected by my boss and co workers. Was apprieciated by the people on my daily route. I got to know the needs of my customers like if it was a old lady that needed packages placed inside or specific. If dogs were known to chew packages. If businesses were closeing soon. If rain was coming and i had to bag it or store it somewhere with a note on the door. If i had to come back later. If it was medicine or food for a struggling family. I made them top priority. I knew when some packages where meant as birthday presents and where to hide them. I found small hole in the wall stores that served epic home made meals for lunch. I got to pet dogs and see all kinds of animals. I got to run from dogs that wanted to kill me. I seen cool cars, home ideas, decors, I freaking loved it!
