i implore everyone please please please do not limit yourself to a boring retail job for the rest of your life, it's really not worth the time or money

good when you're starting out and needing experience, not good in the long term

I work at a Marketing and Branding firm.

The owner is a little bit special but I really like them they started a few years ago with only 3 people on the team but they've grown a lot.

There are Advertising and Branding divisions that do their respective title. We work with regional corporations and businesses to generate brand identities, print and video advertisements, advisement on advertising theory, etc.

It's quite the step from being completely undocumented and on the run but the CEO took me in with open arms.

i have been embezzling money for five weeks.

u should draw little pictures with ketchup like the anime bluesuit just get a slice of ham and draw the anime bluesuit into it and then get a concerned look from the customer as you grin manically at them while they walk out of the store backwards

I recently started working at a bar from 7 pm to 2 am kind of a thing as a waiter. Pay is good, drunks are easy to go along with. Its a temp job for now but might as well become a perm worker as the supervisor asked me to do so if i wanted.

I’m a safety officer. It’s a great job that I very much enjoy.

I have been promoted to Foreman on a container terminal.
I now lead a team of 2 Dockworkers, 4 straddle carrier drivers and 1 crane operator.

Life is good.

The goal is to do this for the next 10 years and try and become a "ceelbaas" or Listboss which essentially is responsible for all teams under a single container ship, a single ship can have up to 5 to 6 teams.

Traded a small account to get starter cash
used starter cash to pay to take tests to trade on behalf of a company (bigger account)
traded said account to accumulate money to have a big account myself
stopped trading for company, trade only for myself
piled up cash and created a portfolio
Invested into a common pool at a hedgefund
living off of passive income from diversified investments and private personal trading
waiting for the next financial crisis to buy property
thinking of renting cars for people to drive uber?


realizing that being "retired" in your twenties is actually.. kinda not that fun? at least it's not what i thought it would be. but then again covid, so have been stuck for nearly two years... will see how it is when everything is back to normal

Is that dividend which is your passive income? Assuming you're trading stocks as opposed to whatever.
