You have the next ten years to make the most money possible…what do you do? (1 Viewer)

[eoMMan]

Let’s say your goal is to stack up the most money possible over the next ten years.

But there’s a catch…

The money can’t be generated from a previous source of money or degree/education/training/hobby/knowledge/etc.  It has to be made doing something brand new and different.

What do you do?

Start a business? What kind?

Do dances on TikTok?

Start pickleballguys.com?

How do you start a business without previously generated money?

Good question. I guess we you can start with a “small” amount of money. Maybe a cheap lawnmower for landscaping? Or cheap workout equipment for a fitness class?

I quit. 

 

[wilked]

Weird set of rules

i think the answer is selling drugs but there is of course a risk there…

 

[Gally]

How do you start something without getting to use your previous "degree/education/training/hobby/knowledge/etc."   I mean all that previous "experience" is what is pushing you in some direction.

Blood plasma and Onlyfans

 

[Jaysus]

procrastinate until year 9 then shift the blame elsewhere for my shortfall...

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Professional basketball players seem to make a lot of money, so maybe that?

 

[Nigel]

Poorly executed question but interesting thought. How about “if you had to quit your current job and surrender your collegee degree (pretend its a thing), what would you do to make as much money as possible for next ten yrs?” Cannot be an ilegal activity. Everyone gets $1K in the bank to start. You cannot use any other savings to grow the 10 year egg.

Donate plasma or strip

a former president took a small $1mm loan from his father.  pretty sure we all can do the same.

Do you have to continue with any job you have?  With a job taking 40-50 hours away from you each week, it makes it much harder.  

No job?  That gives you tons of options, as you have lots more time to develop something.

ETA:  With that said, I'm a pretty creative type.  I'd probably take 6 years to learn guitar or piano, then 4 years putting myself out there.

48 hours per week x 52 weeks x 6 years.  That's a hair under 15,000 hours of practice.

Do a podcast, currently trying to get one going with a friend who if she has the stamina could very well generate some interest. Get syndicated, ad $$, perhaps speaking engagements. Voila! Rich!!!

Non-shtick answer, probably become a realtor.

I realize some folks are realtors, no knock intended at all. I’m just not a realtor, so I think that meets the criteria. 

 

[brun]

Probably panhandling

Hangout at home depot for seed money?

Used to work with a guy who said his nephew did panhandling. Supposedly making up to about $700 a day though I don't know what he averaged.

[Runkle]

10 years is plenty of time to devise a perfect heist. Definitely, rob a bank.

 

[Nugget]

Become a politician

 

[lakerstan]

At this point, I’ll just be happy to have 10 years of life…

 

[AAABatteries]

I’m guessing in this hypothetical I don’t have a family to take care of and the goal is just to have the most money after 10 years?  I’d spend 1-2 years getting in insane shape and researching old rich women to marry.  Seems like that would be the easiest path.

Yep. Hard job right now as everyone seems to be doing it. But I figure in ten years I’ll make some bank. 

probably go get my CFP, write books and embezzle.

Write a "How to go from nothing, to riches in 10 years" book.  Sell it to suckers on the internet.

Gigolo.

Not a bad idea. I'd probably get paid a lot to put my shirt back on.

Go into sales, maybe certain lines of insurance, and then outwork everyone else.

Cannabis startup and then multiple apartment buildings. 

Doing this IRL I'll let you know how it goes by 2030.

My fallback plan has always been a shrimp skewer stand on Caye Caulker, Belize. There was already a guy doing it when I was there 10 years ago, but he's gotta be gone by now? Dude would roll up on his bike about 10:30am with a hibachi and a cooler filled with skrimps and beers. He would spend about an hour sipping beers, skewering skrimps and building his fire. About 11:30, just as the cruise ships were pulling up, he would start putting the skewers over the coals. He had like 10 different flavors/rubs/sauces available. People would come rolling off the boat and grab a $10 skewer as they walked by. He was generally sold out by 1:30pm and would pack up and head home. Seemed like a pretty sweet gig.
