I have a few k and nothing to live for im 19 my mom just died unexpectedly and my dad died a few years ago, I’m gonna be squatting in the house for as long as I can but after I get removed I’m homeless and I don’t have any family left besides some cousins in a different country. I’ve got no qualifications, no degrees, nothing. I need to make money or an hero. Someone give me some real advice on what to invest this money in. I’m not looking for immediate returns even though my situation is kinda immediate. I just need some financial safety.

>> No.57287953

Invest in yourself. You can make a few k back easy. Get a job and learn to budget.

1. Night shift security guard. Easy money just to chill (hit or miss, but most are chill at night). Parking lots are the most chill
2. dogbat BNB. 1k is a good amount. You can do the same for the eth one. Copycats are faggoty, but the metrics of it look good. Maybe even the sol one too.. but that one is definitely a gamble. So like 500.
3. If you go to college, still do the security during the night, but aim to be a k-12 teacher. Easy fucking money. They work like 8/12 months. 4 Months vacation to do whatever. Also look into financial aid shit.
4. IF and ONLY if HARD SHITTY labor doesn't deter you, I would suggest doing a 2 year degree to be an RN nurse. They are more or less guaranteed a job out of school and make bank.

I have no problem working a minimum wage job if I have to and that’s all id be able to get anyway but it scares me that when I start I will be stuck there my whole life because I’ll be living paycheck to paycheck every month and won’t ever have the money to go study something to get a better job etc or have the spare time to try and start my own business or whatever. I’m gonna have to get a shitty job anyway but I’d like something on the side so I have the option/safety net to improve my situation at a later date. I wanna invest in something (doesn’t have to be crypto) and I’ll live paycheck to paycheck in the meantime.

Btw I WOULD advise debt during school, but community college should be cheap as shit anyways. Go for the cheapest. Make sure it's accredited. The debt should also be from SUBSIDIZED loans. NOT unsubsidized. That is extremely important. The reason I think debt is fine atm is because cash is better spent dcaing into crypto right now rather than paying off short term debt. Paying off classes = straight up 5-6figs in opportunity cost. Not even memeing

Your biggest expense will probably be rent. If you are a neet budgeting is very easy. The goal of your income will be to spend as little per week and put the rest aside, you can put that side money into investments. Crypto is fine but I won't shill any, dyor. But I'd recommend having 10kish for emergencies first. Any job will do so long as you have a consistent weekly check that you can skim money off for your future. Ideally you don't want to spend any more than 60% of your take home pay each week, the less the better. Autistic budgeting (write all your expenses for the week and start eliminating all you can) goes far.

here's my real advice to you lil nigga:

>won’t ever have the money to go study something
First piece of advice, don't fall for the psyop that you have to pony up to to some kike to develop real skills. You can teach yourself SQL, excel, python, javascript, etc etc etc all for free. Every skill you need to earn a real job is available online for free. Your ability to succeed financially will come down to your level of grit more so than anything else.

Second piece of advice, you don't even need a real skill to get a good job. There isn't a single senior professional on Earth who didn't learn most of their real industry skills on the job. That's how it works. There are plenty of employers who just want smart guys and will train you because it's impossible to learn their industry skills outside the job, like in semiconductors, for example. You just need to learn to use "professional speak" and fluff yourself up to sound professional. Sold something on ebay once? That's "digital marketing". I am being 100% serious you have to play this game, and the sooner you actually play the game of corpospeak the sooner you can get a real job. It all boils down to getting an interview with a boomer and impressing him. Again, you learn all the real skills on the actual job, you just need to get your foot in the door.

Third piece of advice, keep applying to jobs. Even to jobs for which you are grossly underqualified, because there's no reason not to. This is giving yourself the equivalent of a call option, except the premium is basically free. Giving yourself the potential for explosively positive outcomes is how every successful person got there, but you have to believe it's possible and give yourself those chances. In general, keep trying to set up opportunities for you to "get lucky" that don't involve actually spending money.

>> No.57290410

>>57290311
More on that last point, this is the way to win at life in general, whether it's business, jobs, women, investing or anything else. First things first, you setup a solid base of operations and never compromise its integrity. From there, you take calculated risks that give yourself explosive upside potential without risking your base of operations. In investing, that means never YOLO your capital base, which brings me to my final advice regarding investing since you asked about it...

In investing, you need to not do what everyone else does. Given your situation, you will undoubtedly take too much risk and blow yourself up. Every single new investor/trader takes on too much leverage and maybe even makes money, but in doing so they develop bad habits which cause them to eventually lose it all.

So what should you do? First of all, you need to understand that in order to get outsized returns in investing, someone else has to lose. It's a competitive game. The universe won't just bless you with infinite dollars just because you chose to invest--you could just as easily lose it all. If you think you're doing to actually make money, you're saying you, at 19 with no experience at all, are going to beat everyone else trying to make money. I will tell you now, you aren't special and the universe won't just reward you for investing. You will almost certainly lose money and regret doing it at all. I could tell you to do this or that, but without teaching you to actually fish it's just setting you up for failure in the long run. If you still insist on investing, I will just say this: the most important thing is not to fight momentum. Whatever you do, for god's sake find a simple way to measure when momentum has changed before trying to pick a top or bottom in something. Lastly, always remember that no matter how confident they sound, everyone is retarded when it comes to investing and is often wrong. ALL PEOPLE ARE OFTEN WRONG IN INVESTING GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD

Acquire a skill (trades or go to college) that will secure income for yourself. You need to be constantly bringing in money, that's how it works. You need to get used to this idea that you need to constantly earn money in order to live. You're 19 so you have no concept of reality but take this advice to heart.

As for investing money you have, invest in yourself first (schooling, tools, whatever supports your endeavors to actually earn money). Aside from that, make sure to keep an emergency fund aside and then invest the rest into Bitcoin and gross market index funds. Don't think you're smart; you're not.

No, you're just being weak. Life is hard - everyday we must work at surviving and taking care of our own. Are there some among us who are coddled and live life on easy mode? Yes. But it's because of their ancestors endeavors that positioned them to reap this benefit.

And self-actualization is possible for anybody - but especially possible for those that work hard at something they love while earning money and creating value. I'm a self-actualized person but a wagie too - but i work in tech and my work, while challenging, has become easy due to my increase in skills and I WFH and basically do whatever I want and pursue my true passions and art.

get a security guard card
it costs around $200 but sometimes you can get it for free. look into that. then get a job. they hire almost anyone it seems like. from what i've seen. there was a literal scrawny black as well as weak females as security guards at the UPS warehouse i was temping at. aside from those two, there was a clearly old pinoy, definitely in his late 50s or early 60s. that suggested to me that they will take anyone because it's an easy joke job unless something goes wrong. anyway, in many states you can't get the guard card online but i don't know maybe you can. just look into it. they are panick-hiring more guards now due to all the crime. having a guard is seen as better than not having one. of course, you also need to pick good places to work so you're not constantly dealing with thieves and bums.
