HELP! I wanna get rich quick!

Postby AIM9X » Tue 18 Jul 2006, 20:46:08

You know I've been thinking... (yes, doing a lot of that lately)
With the up and coming Peak Oil and Olduvia Stone Age and 90% pop dieoff and all that, I need to get prepared for the end of civilization as we know it. And it sure wouldn't hurt if I had a few extra USFDs (United Service Falling Dollars) in my pockets.

So, I don't have a college degree, well hell I barely made in in High School. And tell you what, I don't have any special licences or certificates or nothing (unless you wanna count my drivers license and wearing corrective lenses as a special certificate) and I'm unemployeed and eating welfare checks from month to month, so there ain't really much of a money making oppurtunity.

So I thought me a few ideas, aint sure which is the best of the list, know what I mean? So I'll list a few things on the top of my mind that could strike me a rich wealthy alpha male man and how bout you PO fellows get me a heads up as to which one is has the most potential? I know I can always count on yall, especially them economics people in this forum.

1. AMWAY- http://www.amway.com/ - I had a high school friend that went to community college for a while then dropped out and joined the AMWAY business model. Word is he is doing pretty good so fair, even got married and got him some permanent pussy, and the couple planning on retiring next year if they meet their sales goal. Anyways, might this work for me too?

2. Greatest Vitamin in the World. http://dontforgettotakeyourvitamins.com/
Now to be honest, I never care about health vitamins and pills and that kinda stuff, but if selling it can early ya $1000 from the legendary Don Lapre and he even promises $200 checks a month, every month for the rest of my life for each and every person I sell a single bottle of this magic stuff too, what do I have to lose?

3. PAID surveys online! http://www.surveyclub.com/
MAN o man! Ain't america great! Man! I can get a free computer from E-machine and free internets connection with Juno and NetZero (10 hours a month, so I have to type fastttt) and then on tops of that I can gets me to get PAID read hard USFD all for doing paid surveys online in my spare time. What I great way for anyone in financial struggle to get back on their feetings and gain a path to financial liberty! Man, I can't even breathe, does it get any better than this!??

4. If all three doesn't work out, Uncle Sam will always help me out.
I can join the ARMY and help make the lives of people all over the world better! I can help spread our freedoms and democracies and captialisms and our great way of American Dream (TM) of life!
http://www.army.mil/ - The Army even promises me a FULL Scholarship and paid food and board and a sign on bonus! And after bootcamp I get to have a much better prospects of spreading my genes than my other fellow civilian americans. After all, its only in the Army that one gets acquantied with women from 150 places in the world! (least thats what my requiter told me) Just ask this former Army GI JOE studdy guy he knows a thing or two about getting LAID.

5. I hear about a way to get rich using google adwords or ebay and amazon online selling? Not sure how that works, but if I can make a
good income on it, who cares? It;s all about bring home the bread and the butter and then pussy and then some in life that what we live for right? If I can exploit myspace.com and get rich using that I'd do it too, just gotta find a good business money making model. God I love Money, I love to make Money!

If any you gots any betters ideas, just tell me how to make them greenbacks!!!! Ain't America great! Land of oppurtunity and freedoms to pursue your dreams and have it all! Help me prepare for Peak Oil!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'Y')ou might want to invest in ethanol. It's distilled from corn and it's cheaper than gasoline! And you get to be outside :)


Pstarr sir with all due respect, I may not have me a college degree but I ain't stupid. If Iam on the po.com website it means I know ethonel ain't gonna be a good investment.

Please if you read my statement you will see I have very little money to start with, so how can I invest in Ethanol? I ain't no warren buffet!!

Please people, some real advice on how this pennyless man can get him a real life would be much appreciated, please no jokes on my expense, I have it hard enough as it is. I just need to make MONEY!

If you want to become filthy rich very quick set up a religion and become a guru. Besides all of the money of your followers you will get a lot of free sex ...

Find a way to go to college, get a degree in geophysics and become a reservoir or petroleum engineer. Starting salaries are 80 k for B's and 100k for Master's. But in that 4-5 year span it takes to get your degree, it's likely to go up to 120-150 spread for the two. That's a quick buck (those are the starting salaries :))

I need some financial security in these terbulent times of uncertainty! I just need some way to get on me feet first, then I'll think about building a church and the free sex and all, but how can I get started if I don't gots nothing in the first place? Lighthouse what I am aksing is this, what is something quick and easy that I can immediately do so I can get some real hard cash (legally) and get me off on my two feet and then start building wealth from there??

How quick is quick?

Learn a trade: Electrician. Plumber. Carpenter. Mechanic. Air-conditioner servicing 8) . Organic farmer. Welder. Etc.

Why waste 6 months on a pyramid scheme when a proper apprenticeship can lead into some seriously good paying jobs.

These are jobs you can take ownership of. No boss. Make your own schedule. And there is pride in having a skill that is in demand.

If you are a friendly and honest person, with an abundant amount of time on your hands, you will eventually have an endless stream of customers.

Mekrob, I like you, you are real helpful. But understand my shoes and where I am coming from. I can't barely pay for the public transpo and you expect me to find a way to go to college? I been researching on the EROEI stuff and pretty soon a career degree will eat up more money than it will EVER repay me during my lifetime! Pretty soon college will be a net Money LOSER! I can't afford to GO IN DEPT! I can't afford the risks involved, I see news on Matts site about Haliburton;s detention camps and there aint no way I wanna end up there!

How quick is quick? Quick is before 2010. thats the prediction peak oil passover date anyway. i wanna get security before The Shit Hits the Fan.

Then thing is guys, a 'proper apprentice' don't exactly come cheap these days. I looked into one of these and it costs darn near $20,000. Now where you think I got that much USFD from? Am I Greenspan??

What are those jobs that I can be my own boss at?
What kind of jobs are these, how much captical to get started, how much risk? whats the EROIE?

thanks for the info!

OK, this response comes a bit late to the comment, but who the heck thinks ethanol is going to be bad business?

Mekrob, I been thinking about your proposal. That is good money! But even if I could afford the tuition of college, Oil is running out in a few years, no more refinaries are being built, Middle East is too darn dangerous to go to, Oil Companies are all cutting costs, so it is VERY hard to imagine that 80 k for B's of petro engineer will still last very long. I mean, if I spend 4 years to get me a BS in petro engineer, and then we hit post peak, and I can't find a job in the oil industry, and I am $100,000 in debt with student loans and all that, and interest rates skyrocket, hyperinflation, no oil, no water, no food, no electricity, then the only place I 'll be headed to is haliburton slavery center....!!! I don't want that fate! I want a sure fire way to MAKE MONEY! I want to make money!

Seriously, your best bet, unless you really really want to work your ass off with 3 jobs so you can pay for college, is the u.s. military. But why join the Army? there are 3 other major branches that have FAR FEWER DEATHS than the Army. Try the Air Force. Basic training is only 6 weeks (although it is still pretty difficult, mainly psychologically) and there are MANY more opportunities when you get out. If you decide to stay, you can for a loooonnng time. And get paid pretty well. At least you get yearly pay-grade increases AND at least 4% wage increase every year. Far better than any u.s. corporation, unless you are a CEO.

I am finding it VERY hard to serve under this president, but I have only had to see him a few times, so it's not too bad... I work on avionics/electronics equipment and the tech school(s) for that are 9 months (9 very fun months, Air Force chicks are hot and if you are over 21, you can buy alcohol....). When exiting this tech school you are only a few credits away from a 2 year degree. You can use this degree to get just about any technician job in the country, usually starting at over $20 an hour...

Bill Gates stroke it rich by his vision that computers will be in demand with everyone.

How can I strike it rich using a business model that is based on the fundamental vision that in the future PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DO WITH LESS?

How can I turn that knowledge into a successful business model and captialize on it?

I mean I realize what is happening. I see the facts are all around.
I aint blind or stupid: But even so in this AGE OF COLLAPSE
someone will always make money! So why the hell not me?
I wasn't making money in the Age of Capitialism and I sat by while
CEO's made gazillions each hour, so why the hell should I stand by in the Age of Collapse? Since I was a loser in the Forward age, then that should make me a winner in the backward age right?

Even in this Age of Collapse, there is money to be made, there is oppurtunities to be had, and there is useful services to be contributed and there sure as heck will be successful businesses (I realize they may be LOCAL business due to reverse of globalization).

So how can I best take advantage of the Age of Collapse and my knowledge of Peak Oil and the fact that in the future for as far as the eye can see and then some that people will have to do with less forever and ever? How can I captialize on that knowledge and vision and creatively come up with a business model that some how directly or indirectly takes advantage of Peak Oil and makes me RICH!
In this age of collpase MONEY = Life = Pussy = Meaning = God ETC!
