... Started a freedom business in 2001-2 as a student, worked my ass off, sold the company, now living off the interest. The original post is gold, the best things in life are free. I owe almost nothing, I saved every dollar so I could put it in the bank and live off the interest. The only things I spend on is travel, food and learning new skills. For example in Krakow I spent 2-3 hours a day with a private teacher studying salsa.
Here is my "value offer" - if you have more than $200k and want to make (conservatively!!) 8%-10% a year, PM me. I'm working with a small investment bank which is actually based in Berlin where I'm staying now, I could hook you up with them. It took me YEARS to find out how to invest my money and these guys are the best. Combo of structured products and hybrid bonds and other high yielding papers + leverage from the bank where you get $1 for every $1 in cash that you have for a very low rate. So the $200k (minimum) you invest become $400k, and on 5%-6%-7% investments + the leverage, minus costs, you get to 10% easily, even more.
Also, if you're in Berlin or ANYWHERE IN EUROPE, PM me. I'll be traveling all over the place until September, possibly in a van, the plan is to pull girls from clubs into the van and bang them right there, kind of like Jeffy from RSD
I'm always looking for wings.
Google "freedom business" , "the rich jerk", "how to make money online", read "the millionaires fastlane". From personal experience - it's all possible. But you must put the effort and actually do it, just reading won't take you anywhere... just like in pick up.
