I make 480 dollars a day, and have no cost of living. No rent no bills besides a 50 dollar month storage bill.
What can I do with this amount of money to set myself up for the future, starting today?

I put 25k into crypto through feb. It 3x'd already and I'm in only btc eth at the moment. I want to diversify into real world stuff I can manage while I'm out here.

Shit I almost forgot about a VRBO. I have a buddy that is getting into this. It's lucrative. Also, this is random, but if you can find land and get man made lakes you can use it as a hatchery or fishery. People pay insane amounts to fish where I'm from
Also, a good property manager I know takes 10% and does a pretty great job. All in all not bad for not having to do anything

It all about property ownership, use some of those cryto profits and invest in multi family real estate with a reputable property management firm that isnt going to ass blast you on contractor pricing when things break. Other than that own some low risk dividend yielding ETFs and blue chips.

OH almost forgot, its a good idea to own utilities shares, in some jurisdictions they are guaranteed a 10% profit and pay some of the best dividends on the market, energy needs are going to grow 100 fold in the next century so you cant go wrong with blue chip energy that pay 4-6% div.

Everything I've read says the same. I'm going to get into the property game. There is just isn't anything else as lucrative with this amount of cashflow, but lack of spare time.

Thanks for some info. Biz isn't my only source just wanted to see what tidbits I could get here.

Feels like buying the top on stocks and real estate, but I can't time the crash.

You need to have law enforcement or (ideally) deployed combat experience and relevant training and certifications. Security clearances are required in many cases and that isn't something you can fake. The companies providing American security have extensive background checks and vetting process, especially after all the bullshit that went on in Iraq with shitty pmc acting up.

It is difficult to fake your way through it since you go to their corporate site for training first and the instructors are all ex military hard asses and will instantly see you out if they think for a second you don't have required skills.

This is as "legit" as it gets in this world, and the pay gets worse and risks get higher if you find companies with more relaxed standards to work for.

You can, as a civilian, get relevant certs for private security and firearm handling, and you can in theory get hired by one of these companies. In practice it is the realm of ex military or law enforcement (to a lesser degree) only.

Anyway I get paid twice a month and I get 6 weeks of paid vacation a year. Days can be 10-14 hours long depending, all said and done and back in housing.

Role. Play. I hate to give you hints for your next time, but I also hate people shitting on others on here without explaining why.

If you knew anything about the field, you would know that medics are in much higher demand and pull way more than $480/day.

That rate is laughable in the field.

Both of these jobs are going to be filled by either a PJ or a SF Medic. Both of them will pay upward of $250,000, especially the latter.

Yes, obviously ex sf make more if they get specialized pmc jobs. However, I work next to a couple ex rangers and a combat controller, so apparently higher paying jobs are sometimes out of reach even for guys like that.

That's funny dude. The job you describe is possibly the extreme high end of the pay scale for anything tangentially related to my duties. Im not a door kicker, and the biggest worry we have is getting VBIED'd.

If I was going to I might do that. However I don't plan to do this for more than another year or two at best. This place is a shithole and so is everywhere else I could do the same thing for "that much".

I'm making money and then trying to put that money to work straight away as I indicated in my OP, so that I don't have to carry a gun as a living.
