Currently working a fulltime job making $112k a year. I'm able to save half my income. What kind of thing is worth doing to make more money at this level?

Dont even know.
Im in the same boat and
>50% spent annually
>10% pretax income 401k (company matched)
>roth IRA maxxed each year
>small portion to silver/gold
>ETFs on remainder
>not adding to crypto since everything is KYC
Yeah not sure what else to do.

The big question is if you guys can get more income realistically.

If you are an engineer of some sort (not necessarily software), you can probably get your PE or some other certs to get to $150.

That's probably your best use of time in the next year. Answer with details if you want better advice.

maybe enjoy life itself and not simply increasing your bank account like some protestant calvinist kike

Buying a small business. Paying others to run it and still working your normal job
>>
>>62052555
Things that work while you don't, things that aren't real. Setup an AI on a mac mini and get it to post youtube videos or farm simps for money by pretending to be a girl. Things you don't have the stomach for.
>>
>>62053185
This is an abstraction. You can't "buy" shit for 100k, you can buy vending machines or put a down payment on a condo that you AirBnB or buy some equipment for concrete pouring or cleaning driveways or whatever. None of this is "pay others to run it".

Prove me wrong.

P.S. Once you pay someone to clean the AirBnB, your profit drops to $100 or $200 at absolute best.

That’s gonna cost you, pal

>>62053130
I work from home. The only way I'd get paid that much is if I were to go into an office, but then the 38k would be taxed at a higher tax bracket and wouldn't include the cost to commute, buy/bring food, and deal with way more hours of work from needing to be onsite. It's just a bad deal. I'm trying to figure ways to make money from home.

>enjoy life
I already do. There's only so many video games, concerts, road trips, festivals, restaurants etc you can do without it getting boring. At that point you might as well spend the time more productively to something that can change your life, like financial independence or at least diversifying your income so that you don't sweat layoffs.

I actually know two people doing this and it seems they're actually making good money. I guess one can't be too picky in this economy.

Becareful, once you start viewing everything as a hustle you'll stop being able to ev enjoy everything else in life.

I already have. I started a tiki bar back in 2017 when I was working a job making a little more than OP. My brother and I now own the building and a liquor license which are expensive and finite in this state. Just because you have no vision doesn't mean you can't do anything with guaranteed income. 125k was a lot more 10 years ago though
>>
>>62053250
The question was to establish that you don't have more to milk out of your career. "Side hustles" are basically relevant in two, and only two scenarios:

1. Your base income and shit and hard-capped.
2. You are going to make it into a legitimate business eventually.

Regarding tiktok farms / AI videos, etc - you basically can pick a niche and try to go with it, but by the time you hear about it, it's usually over, like drop shipping.

>>62053282
It really was a lot more, but not so much it would have mattered for the tiki bar. I still think every single one of these is overrated as fuck - don't pull the "no creativity" card - it's just that most of these are low margin as fuck. Tikibar? 1000 other people trying to do it, licensing, location, etc. You can do basic shit like flip cars and make SOME money, but it doesn't really make sense long term unless your dream is to open a shop / used car lot.

If OP is serious, he should literally make a list and then get help sorting it.
>>
>>62053474
It pays less to milk your career because of taxes, if you can setup a hustle that lets you write expenses off, you'll make way more in real terms than through waging.

pretty easy to 1.5-2x your job if you switch from industry to consulting at a big firm. if you're already doing that then just level up, you can make partner in 10 years if you're good

side gigs.... just start working on the side in anything you can actually do, assuming you have some skill. teaching boomers is pretty lucrative, i used to tutor old people who wanted to go back to college .

Let me tell you something.
Last week, I had to turn off electricity to my house for renovations. I had no internet. I had nothing to do. Then I realized “i have nothing i need to do.”
I retired long ago but after retiring, I started trading. When my electricity went out, I realized “trading isn’t a job, it is a hobby” and that I literally have nothing I need to do. Then I felt so much joy.
Trading to me is the same as opening up a video game.

If you can afford the risk, short stocks like SNDK, MU, and whatever memory or AI-related stock. I was suddenly a baggie and lost almost all my lifetime profits, so I can't afford taking such a risk.
>>
>>62053830
Why would you short now after a 10% correction already.
>>
>>62052555
401k's are going to get wiped out in the next downturn. So not that. Just like they got wiped last time in 08. Same story, different people. We learn nothing from history. Invest in yourself.

edutainment. teach others how you managed to succeed on what you did. they will eat it up.

Oh merde, sacre bleu pas du moni, cant afford le ciggies I only get 50 centimes a day.....

Meanwhile a BEF private got paid 17 francs a day.

Consulting has shit wages when taking into account the ammount of hours. Also, you need to sell your soul and dignity to become a consulting parasite.
It is only worth it if you get extremely lucky and manage to become some exec afterwards.

You're now sperging out because someone made you look stupid. HEY RETARD, ALCOHOLIC DRINKS HAVE PHENOMENAL MARGINS. Do you spend all day on here just saying whatever pops in your head? I could not sell a single thing the next 20 years and owning that building and a liquor license would make me rich LMAO. People like you don't try because you aren't smart enough. Simple as doomer. Pic rel is you

I'm a senior advisor in government
I make $190k a year (I guess more when you count retirement matching, paid leave I can cash in, pay into the pension I get back as soon as I leave etc etc) doing jack diddly.

>Work 4 days a week
>No one checks I'm in or not
>Usually take an hour for lunch, two hours for the gym most days
>No responsibilities besides calling out woke bullshit
>Lots of authority if I want something
>>
>>62059351
That's the difference between a nepo baby and others. I had a job making way more money than you before I left, but I worked 12 hours a day, got certs, managed teams, did shit myself, deployed in the middle of the night, and would lose my job immediately if I stopped doing any of that + it had 0 stability anyway.

Very common, but that's the difference, know plenty of rich kids who took jobs from people who actually need them and literally roll in at 11, hang out, go to lunch, and roll out at 2pm.
