The
big secret that
eluded all those
direct marketers is that it's
easy to get rich quick. All you do is follow my
two-step plan:
Step 1: Work like a
bastard. There are
night jobs that will
hire you for
way less than you make during the day, but at least you'll be putting all that
down time to some use. Plus, most night jobs are pretty easy and involve a lot of sitting and
chilling. As a side benefit, it's that much less time you'll have in which to
squander your next year's
tuition on
movies,
toys, etc. As another side benefit, if you've given up on
romance, you now have an
ego-saving excuse: I don't have time for a
GF/
BF, I work 80 hours a week. You'll often hear
naysayers point out that you need to
sleep. With a little
discipline and some
melatonin there are plenty of 3-5 hour
intervals during the week for you to catch some Z's, not to mention the weekends. 5 hours of sleep is all you really need, as long as you don't mind
caffeine.
Step 2:
Invest every penny you don't use. It's like in a
strategy game: if you're
accumulating hoards of
gold or
resources or whatever, it means you aren't
maximizng their
use. I mean, I keep around about a
month's worth of income as a
safety cushion, but my
online broker gets the rest. It's
pointless to have it sit in the
bank, slowly losing value to
inflation. Sure,
the market might not be looking too good right now, but the
NASDAQ has recovered about half of its recent point loss, so looking out over the next couple of months, I'm not worried.
