how do I actually make money with investments? What do I invest in? All I've got right now is about $20k in fxaix index funds after working my very first job for a about 8 months now.I always feel like I should be doing something more and I'm missing some critical knowledge to make more than a 5-8% return per year.
you need to actually sell them at a higher price than you paid.
>>1549222if it were that easy, everyone would do it. as Bogle said, the average investor must receive the average return, by definition. and guess what, unless you happen to have some kind of insider information, you are the average investor.don't try to get clever, don't try to time the market, just hold the index and suck it up.
>>1549222maybe buy something that makes money, for example a website, store, webapp, instagram, shopify, youtube, or lewd stuff if you dont have morals then pay a 3rd worlder $100/month to run it for you. if it makes 1k a month then is worth buying for less than 5k. if you go to reddit there's tons of people hiring anyone that can chat, the reason is they have fake ai instagram/onlyfans and need to post comments and chat but they make crazy money
