So I'm a 28 year old NEET that hasn't had a job since my teens and has been living off of inheritance.
I worked as a teen and filed taxes once, went to college, and then had a lot depressing shit happen and just went completely off the grid for almost a decade.
I've done a few odd jobs over the years, but they always paid in cash and I never made more than 2k at the most on any given year.
I've never had an actual income, but I've also never filed taxes. I've never had the IRS contact me either, but I was told that filing now...

Well, you've had no income. Unless you've owed taxes for capital gains (presumably since you've had a lump of money in savings lol) or some other property, then nothing to worry about.
>>1080446
I don't have any capital gains and the house I live in is an 80k paid for home that my parents owned
The inheritance wasn't that much at all, and it's easy to live off of it because the house is paid for.
Is there a way to file stating that I have had no income for this long?
>>1080452
Quit worrying, the government knows you haven't had a job. You're not going to get in trouble. If you're super worried go talk to a tax attorney, most will give you a first time meeting for free. They are going to tell you the same though.
I'm looking for a useful language to learn in the future.
I already speak english, finnish and swedish. I want to learn one/two more languages. Which one should I pick? Any language suggestions welcome, but if you have any insight about chinese vs japanese from a job/financial standpoint, please do tell.
Also, sorry if this is posted all the time.
Google the biggest trading partners of Finland. Those are the most important languages.
So German and Russian.

im learning python right now
super easy
>>1080448
I have actually been interested in studying German and Russian for a while. But at the moment I'm leaning a bit more toward Russian. Do you have any personal experience or opinion? Thanks.
You have $250 dollars, a telephone and access to a free email account.
You must make $10,000 dollars in 30 days or your entire family will be tortured to death. You may not spend another penny than the $250 you have been allotted. You may NOT gamble in any way or use any other speculative means to try and multiply your cash.
Good luck
Literally impossible.

Go to a lending company (or call them) and get a $10,000 loan. Let's say you have 10 people in your family. If all of you work full time at even a minimum wage, you will make 10,000 in less than a month.
That's a lot of dicks, OP.
Any real estate investors here? Been working my way up partnering with investors in new projects and trying to scale up. Would love to chat about personal experiences in the space
>>1079936
I used to be a partner on what is now a publically listed REIT
AMA if u want
>>1079938
Awesome! Just curious how did the company secure most of its lending in the initial stages? Through personal lenders or commercial loans/ mortgages?
>>1079942
Selling shares.
It basically got to big for me to have any meaningful control over what was happening as my vote made little to no difference so I sold the rest of my portion and so did a bunch of other little guys and then the few big partners went public.
>"While the recession may be long over, many Americans are still living one bill away from financial disaster.

In fact, about 63 percent of Americans say they're unable to handle a $500 car repair or a $1,000 emergency room bill, according to a new survey from Bankrate.com.

My sister, brother, father, and mother would all be in trouble.
I don't understand how they did this to themselves.
Anyone here do anything like unconventional marketing consultation? Stuff like "paid shill," guerrilla marketing, social media manipulation, etc? I've been reading a few books on it, counter-intelligence, manipulation, etc and I thought about putting out a few lines and seeing what bites. I have set up different emails, sock-puppet accounts for different fora, instagram(s?), facebook accounts, twitter, and all that stuff to make it look like I have a small network of people. I was also planning on hiring "agents" if necessary in order to do what a client...

Nothing in your area? Oy Vey! perhaps you aren't looking hard enough.
>>1079633
Maybe I am not looking in the right places, but so far I have found nothing. I know a few business owners and they mainly do stuff on Facebook but it's pretty mediocre to virtually nonexistent.
I think if I reached out to them and tried to help I could get something going.
Isnt this kinda stff asswipe labor?
Dont quit your day job for it.

>>1079555
Hard to say without more info, how are you driving your current traffic to the site?

Where do you get your porn?
How do you currently make money, and whom do you advertise with?
Who carries ads for your site?
How did you build the site?
Answer those and I think I could give you some ideas.
The current traffic is mostly from search engines but I am not on page 1 in Google, thats a big Problem

Hey /biz/, what do you guys think will happen to crude prices in the next few years? Do you think they will rise back up? Haven't many U.S. wells been capped?
What do you guys think about buying like $1000 of UWTI stock? I think it's a bit risky, but my thinking is as follows....if crude rises back to previous highs, as seen in the chart, you will at least increase your money 5x (it was trading at like $10/shares before it dropped). In the past, it has even traded at like $600 shares, which would be amazing gains. Worst case scenario, I guess you lose $1000....

Nope. This is the end. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have been cut. The oil industry cannot recover from this.
Only a World war is next by no later than 2018
>>1078933
Slow increase to a stabilization point now that the cartel has been broken.
Current prices are too low for most oil companies to survive.
>>1078943
Exactly, which will lead to a monopoly and so higher prices, right?
Does anyone here gamble? I don't mean stock gambling, but regulars games. Do you make a living of it, what games do you play?
I play a table game and make around 50$ an hour when I'm bored.
I got carried away once and lost $50 decided to not do it again.
>>1078806
Thats the story of many, you just gotta stick to it and you'll make it back I swear anon.
>>1078809
I get bored. I once did one of those websites where you get a 300% deposit bonus, so I put in $10 and got $40.. ofcourse it had some ridiculous terms and conditions to it like having to bet the amount 35 times on a slot machine.
I went to play blackjack instead and got up to $600..which ofcourse I couldn't withdraw and ended up losing a while later anyways, but it's not a fun thing to do. It's boring.
So, tell me about your games.
Im not sure what to do. What would you do?

She nearly broke up with me when i brought up abortion
I laugh at all of you here who spend their entire lives chasing money. The elite know that money is nothing compared to POWER. I chase for POWER. Just look at Ted Cruz. A man who could have millions with just his law degree from HAHHVARD. Yet he is a psychopath who wants more. He wants to the be the most powerful man on the free earth. Stop chasing the money you losers.

Hello rato
playing with money when you have money is a legitimate hobby.

Shit b8 m8 I won't even r8.
I fucked up and am gonna be graduating with a degree in economics.
What's the best way to get more technical? Learn to code?

stem, accounting, finance etc
>>1078215
>his Econ degree didn't have any metrics and modeling courses
>even worse they probably offered the courses and he didn't take them
M8 there's nothing wrong with an Econ degree. The problem is you.
i took econometrics homie
econ majors aren't the only majors that can do linear regression analysis
>>1078215
What are the math courses you had to take? My undergraduate university has both a BS and BA in econ but the BA didn't require the extra math. (BS was also through the business school). Did you have any electives available like forecasting through the math or stat department?

Why are rich people (mil+) such dickheads?
Because confirmation bias, evidently.
Why are all pot smokers dirty hippies who wear rainbow beanies?
>>1076906
Because they're not.
You, in all likelihood have met little to no "rich people". The only ones you've seen are the ones on TV or on the internet - those ones are generally egotistical and assholes because they're playing a certain character OR because that's the type of person it attracts.
You've probably comes across tons of very "rich" people everyday, they just dress normally and act normally. That guy training at the gym quietly in normal-looking clothes?...

Maybe if you live in Iowa. Half the houses around here are over that.
