That's nearly always been the way to make money.

Look up most of the mega rich people now, even the "self-made" ones and you'll find 99/100 of them came from money.

The other way is luck. Be in the right place at the right time with the right skills to take opportunity's hand... and pull the ladder up behind you so nobody else can follow.

Nothing makes money more then money

Absolutely, if I had 2 million dollars (which if you ask me isn't that crazy anymore) and put it all into simple things like CD's at 4% for 1 year i would make $150k a year which I could just live off. After all taxes I would still walk away with more than I currently make yearly.

Now how do I get my hands on that? Anyone know anyone?

The investor class has been hoovering up all of the money, if you don't have money to invest in the stock market and are relying on wages alone then inflation is destroying your wealth. The US stock market is highly dependent on a few really shaky AI companies but it's also going to be the most resilient if/when everything goes south for everyone. Good luck everyone!

I moved to a place in the country where cost of living to pay ratio is better.

Honestly though. I wanted to look into starting a business some years ago and most everything required you to have ass loads of money before you could get a loan.

This is how capitalism worked from the beginning. Nothing new, just progressively worse and worse.

Usury used to be illegal, and IIRC, it is in some Muslim countries. But banks and such.

how to make 1 million?
start with two million!

*2008--2027

Ive taken to just buying stuff if I can. Because stuff has actual value, and our money value is dropping like a rock. But real things especially in the technoligarch avian intelligence future, will be worth a lot more.

you forgot "steal 1 good idea to make billions then burn millions on your own 20 crappy ideas"

"The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope."

But we'll need to GoFundMe for it.

Don't we love capitalism!

Damn, was really hoping it was "crypto"

In these trying times, I've come to enjoy stealing!
