Also I make 62K a year.
Stay poor peasent!!
>>1247691
Had 145k when i turned 21 so your gotta step your game up and save some money nigga.
Making almost 40k and just turned 19. Ur falling behind
I have absolutely no credit. 23 years old and I'm tired of being a piece of shit.
I finally have a decent paying job enough to move out the problem is I have no credit.
How do I establish credit? What are the best steps to getting a high score?
i was in the exact same boat as you
get your parents to add you as an authorized user on one of their credit cards, then apply for the card you actually want as soon as their card shows up on your credit karma
thats what worked for me
>>1247658
>I have absolutely no credit. 23 years old
i'm 36 and i don't have any either.
i have savings and investments i don't get the hype about this credit thing.
Why shouldn't we nationalise the nation's banks?
>Eliminate massive CEO pay that goes straight to offshore accounts, keep that money in the system
>Government overwatch stops risky investing (IE Bad Mortgages) from happening again
The only downside I can think of is that the bankers wont go quietly and have lots of power. Your position?
Yeah because government systems are so efficient. Banking would essentially be like a trip to the DMV
ATMs would have 3 hour TSA line for security.

Why are people, specifically lower class Americans stupid enough to fall for MLM schemes like Premerica, and how do they compare to companies such as ACN and Herbalife.

I once went to an ACN meeting because my financialy low IQ friend forced me to.. its like going to church, it had a cultish vibe going on but with promises of passive income.. I couldnt wait to leave.. it sucked
>>1247596
It really is kinda cultish, everyone is wearing business attire, giving forced smiles and chanting while a paid motivational speaker yells "lets make some money!!!"
I had a friend who used to sell those video phones for ACN.
What's the safest way to make some illegal money as a poorfag wagecuck?

How should I decide who my business should bank with, /biz/?
roll a 20 sided die.
>>1247232
What kind of business?
Essentially I'm going to tell you to bank at a small local bank that makes all of it's decisions through a board that meets every Monday or something. If you're looking for a loan, this is a great place to start if you can impress a group of old business men.
If you are looking for online functionality or something like that, go to a big bank.
I use USBank, BMOHarris, and a little dinky bank in my hometown that you've never heard of. USBank and BMO won't...

We will likely be looking for a loan as we want a physical property of some sort, what advantages would small/local banks have?
And I'm not sure if there are any around here
Recently finished the book The 100 Year Marathon about China. Long story short, in 1949 Mao wanted China to become the preeminent world super power by 2049. My post has less to do with the book, but more of the Eastern mindset.
In the West, business seeks gratification quarterly. Politically we elect four year term presidents hoping the country will change. Many Chinese officials do 10,20,30 year plans to globally dominate industries.
Westerners need to recognize the Eastern way. You won't be rich over night. It'll take years of hard work, saving, and reinvesting...

Shut up you stupid chink.
This is a stupid line of thinking that has been around as long as your dumb book. Western businesses indeed have long term outlooks and visions and don't live in a quarter to quarter mindset like your malnourished brain believes.
In short, take your little red book and shove it sideways up your ass.

What do I do /biz/? Where do I go from here?
To put it in perspective, just to make back my capital, I'd need a stock that goes up at least 239 percent. And I'd have to have all my money in it.
Get on the $MGT train
Could you mow your neighbor's lawn for $20? You'd be like 8% back right there.

Say you're already talented at selling, cultivating, or manufacturing weed but you do not live in a legal US market but would consider moving to a legal market.
Out of all the legal markets, I think the best market to do business in would be Washington (WA).
Main Reasons:
1) Shorter residency requirement. 6 months versus up to 2 years in Colorado.
2) Most lax laws on THC concentrates (liquid THC, edibles, dabs, drinks, etc).
WA allows them for medical and recreational.
Just seems that there are fewer market barriers to entry...

I assume you would need at least 20k saved up for rent alone.
Rent ain't free.
Or is it?
How would one secure funding?
Wall street?
Crypto currencies?
THE DAO?
I'd probably get a bunch of small loans from family and friends.
Are there crowdfunding sites for stuff like this?

So I recently decided to just not show up for work for the past week and I went in because I got a call and my employer wanted to talk about it. Apparently everything has been filed under job abandonment. How will this affect me? Keep in mind that this was a shit tier sign flipping job.
Doesn't matter in the least. Don't ask for a reference, but it wasn't real experience anyway. I actually have references from jobs I've walked out on. People are people. Make them like you, and put your two weeks in next time.
>>1247022
So this doesn't in anyway affect my credit or anything like that?
>>1247047
Nah.
As the first post said, just sweep it under the rug and pretend you never worked there. If a potential employer does an in-depth background check, they'll see that you worked there, but most don't since those cost more money than the run-of-the-mill ones. But worse comes to worse and they get an expensive one, they just won't hire you. No biggie...just move on to the next interview.
I no-showed a white collar office job once. Just couldn't take it anymore that Monday morning...

I recently won $1 million from the Mega Millions lottery.
Wat do?
>>1247002
buy bitcoin.
more seriously: if you don't invest this money it'll be gone before you know it. This million could be your ticket to never being a wage slave again. You can either invest it in shit like Walmart and Coca-Cola and big pharma and reap the dividends for the rest of your life, or you can get into real estate, renting or flipping properties.

If you're not trolling.. godspeed. Hope you don't fall to your demons.
How much money do you need to invest to get a return of $1000/mo to support a basic NEET lifestyle?
I'd only count on about 7-10% return before taxes. People can get more, but it's high risk and therefore not suitable for NEETing.
You need stable income to live off of.
>>1246925
so $171,428?
>>1246913
Say a really good dividend stock pays a 10% dividend. You'd need $120,000 in those stocks to return $12,000 a year (or an average of $1,000 a year).
So probably a minimum of $120,000. Of course there's going concern of the company maintaining that dividend and that also ignores the potential loss on price of a stock, but besides that.
