I am not going to sell you "methods" or whatever snake oil. Im just going to give you the most basic and boomer advice possible that works
Me 4 years ago
-16 years old
-Live in Hood
-Go to ghetto shit HS
-mom is doing opioids
-living on welfare
-Dad died
-0.33 GPA, Hung out with gang members because no one else liked me
What did I do?
I was desperate and wanted to dedicate my life to wage slaving. I got my first job at 16 when Covid first started. I worked for a grocery store for minimum wage (Maybe 14 dollars a hour part time. This is when I began investing. I started using my moms SSN and since she was on welfare any gains I made wouldn't really get deducted. I put maybe 2000$ into TSLA$ after 3 months of working. I got fired in the summer and I didn't make shit from here, next time I worked I wanted to do something better.
Covid then ramped up in 2021 and I knew what to do. The only jobs that were hiring were restaurant that did delivery so I applied to a local restaurant. I began working for 15$ a hour
I worked my way up into having a better salary after being a good slave for the first few months and after a year I was at about 18.5$ per hour and I would do tasks that I wasn't told to do, I begged for overtime, offered to close and open the store and the arab store owner loved that. Tips existed aswell and I made maybe an additional 100-200$ a week from this.
I dont have the direct numbers but I made 15-18$ a hour * 40 for a year. With this money I did nothing except buy a 2500$ car and pc parts, the rest of the money went to my robinhood account where I put everything into major bluechip stocks
I then graduated High School in 2022 and wanted a change. I was unemployed for a few months in the summer of 2022 and I was disgusted with myself, I spent my entire time browsing 4chinz and .is and wanted to be different, I knew something had to change. In august of 2022 I researched everything on how fraud yourself into making the perfect resume and I spent a day perfecting it, using this I applied to every single job that I possibly could, applying for 100 different jobs and 10 different trade unions. 2 places called me, the local IBEW and a security company that does overnight for tech campuses. This is when my life changed. I began working as a security guard for 20 a hour, same thing as the previous job, begged for OT and worked my way into getting a raise for 25$ a hour, did this for a few months and the OT was constant with atleast 12-16 hours extra a week. Then at the beginning of 2023 the IBEW put me to work, I began working for 29$ a hour and got 36$ at my highest almost every single penny I got from both of these jobs I put into VOO/VTI-TSLA$ and NVIDIA. I have made almost 50k in profit but I am now out of the market
I worked like a dog for almost 2 years straight
I have quit both jobs both jobs to focus on school and now I have a CS degree. I have been living off of HYSA money since. My life finally begins
What should you do at this age?
As soon as you turn 18 do something IMMEDITATELY. Apply for a trade union, get your CDL, learn a trade or have a valuable skill because your college degree is becoming useless if you're not a Lawyer/STEM.
What not to do?
-Lease/Loan on any car, buy a 95-2005 japanese car in cash and stick with it. I spend less than 200$ a month on gas and insurance on my car
-Debt, don't get a CC and use it like a retard obviously, don't get a phone off of a payment plan etc
- Use money for materialistic things, women do not give a FUCK about your money unless you have a 100k+ car or mansion or youre chad
My current financial standing at 20.5
-Roth IRA 4500$
-Robinhood 50k
-Checking 10k
Rest of the total has been spent on tangible investments and future purchases I'd make when I was older anyways such as a great mattress, Martial arts contract, power tools, gold/silver bullions, trading cards (made 5k on these)
My current plan is to get a SWE job and spend 90% of my six figure salary on stocks and then after the first year I'll start living normally
I wrote this in like 10 minutes so forgive it if its shit
It is very hard to become rich, but I believe that almost anyone can become upper middle class if they want too
