Billionaires

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

Every year, I look at this list:

Then I think to myself, “How can I make more money?” I’ve spent many years working very hard to earn a paycheck. At the end of each year, I wonder where all the money went. Sometimes I just get carried away with spending. I need a new game plan. I’m making these rich folks richer while I’m still broke.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Welcome to the red pill which leads to populism and revolution.

As women continue to make themselves less and less attractive to the average guy .. billions will eventually be made in the new and burgeoning industry of fem-bots, alternate reality and eventually .. holograms. Non-organics will supplant as the technology is further developed. Initially out of Asia; watch, especially Japan. There will be various investment opportunities for those who follow the industry and stay informed.

You are doing it wrong mate. Stop looking at that website and start focusing on yourself and actually DOING something, not just planning it. Also go monk mode as in save and don’t spend unless absolutely necessary.

If you are a beginning investor I’d suggest trying out Index Funds,they track individual stock markets,so performance is based on this plus most have very low fees.

Investopedia is a great non biased site to get all kinds of investment info as well,remember though,investing like bodybuilding takes time- there is no get rich quick formula,unless your good at picking individual stocks or get lucky investing in a company that takes off.

Also I’d research how these men became billionaires – most if not all didn’t do it with the hope of becoming that-they just followed a passion and it led to it.

Listen to Warren Buffett and the down to earth advice he has for the average investor – then stop looking at what others have and just concentrate on what makes you happy.

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

I like to learn how to become so rich, I can’t handle it, but how do I know if the research is legit?

There’s your problem, right there. You get rich NOT by working harder, but by working SMARTER. You’ve been working your ass off to make other people rich. You want to know where all the money went? Into these bastard’s pockets!

If you want to make it in this world, you need to be one of these four things:

1. Politician
2. Doctor
3. Lawyer
4. Entrepreneur

Since I’m not a big enough bastard to be a politician, guts make me queezy, and the law thing puts me to sleep, I decided to become an entrepreneur. Best decision I’ve ever made.

The only other option is to go into a trade and save EVERY F~~~ING DIME so you can afford to pay someone to wipe your ass when you’re too f~~~ing old to do it yourself.

There is no magic way to “make money online” or other BS. If there were, everyone would be doing it. If you want to “make money online” then you need to become an entrepreneur. But that’s easier offline with all the competition with Amazon and such these days.

You have to work for yourself then get people to work for you and you make money off them by charging clients X amount per hour or job and paying your employees less than you charge and you live like a hermit saving all the money you make and you invest that money into gold bars and gold coins. You will make money with the gold market and you will have revenue to spend anywhere when the world economy collapses. Just make sure you have it all in a floor safe or somewhere accessible anytime even if power is off and if the government forces the banks to stay closed.

I actually read books on finance and other books on how other people became sucessful. If you actually want to be a billionaire, it might take you an entire life time to become one and you might not even live long enough to actually correctly enjoy the billion dollars that you made. Just look at that billionaire list, many of them are in their 70s. My advice to you is that many of the times people become billionaires because they took advantage of opportunities that were given to them that many other people would of not even have a chance to have. Also, there is a hidden power if you use compound interest with your investments (specifically index funds) starting from a young age for you, but you would probably more likely become a millionaire than a billionaire in doing it.

Enjoy the decline,
You are correct with all your points made. Especially the one about being able to take an available opportunity that would significantly increase the person’s net worth. It may have been a huge risk or, not a risk at all. Either way, that person had to have a large bank account to start with near or in the hundred millions, I’m guessing.
It’s relatively easy to become a millionaire these days. Where I live the average 3bdrm 1 or 2 bath house that is only 1000 sq.ft and 70 yrs old that has been well maintained, not remodeled except say kitchen appliances will cost a buyer a million dollars.
So, basically everyone who lives in my neighborhood is a millionare and this is a lower middle class neighborhood.
Real estate will make you rich if you can predict the future and get lucky.
To be a billionaire you have to know the old adage is the true way “it takes money to make money”. And yes, you will be too old to really enjoy it if you get to that level of wealth. Do you really want your family to blow what you worked so hard for? If you have family? Do what I do. Work hard but smart. Stay single. Save some for when you get old. Spend the rest now enjoy yourself. Buy the things you want. Go where you want. Have money in your pocket to be spontaneous. Have a nice apartment or buy a small home have things that make you happy because no one else is going to make you happy or buy you those things. Why pinch pennies and live like a pauper when you might die tomorrow. You can’t take s~~~ with you when you die. Just make sure you have some money to live on when you can’t work anymore. I plan on keeping my business and letting it support me during retirement or maybe sell it if its worth anything substantial. My only concern is the longevity in my family genes. I may be like all my mom’s relatives that live into their 90’s and 100’s which would be a blessing and a curse. Hahahaha
