How to be young and wealthy
How can a young, 18 year old blonde caucaisan living in san diego make his own wealth? I was born to a single mother who was in debt my entire life and had a father who was never present. I will be attending community college, with aspirations of going for two years and maybe just by a stroke of luck, or a miracle I'll find student aid or a scholarship program to transfer and study to become a veterinarian and relax when i'm 30.

I have no money right now and I need to create and gain my own capital. I have a part time job but this is just not cutting it. I want to move in to an apartment with my girlfriend some day, move out of my parents home, have my own car and pay for my own insurance/bills. All of my friends drive BMW's and range rovers at 18 because their parents handed it to them on a silver platter and never worked for a thing in their life.

I dont want a life of sin. I just want to be mentally, physically happy and in good health. I want to be able to suppprt my own family.

I was considering getting a job a dispensary or possibly finding a place like a cheap old shack to grow for one but I have no money. I wanted to do Uber, but I could not use my mothers car to do this.

Any GLP members feel like dropping some knowledge how to come from nothing to something in modern-day?

Re: How to be young and wealthy
Jesus told a Rich man to sell everything he had and follow him.

If you're not looking to live a sinful life than give up the desire to be wealthy and well off, those are earthly carnal desires.

Be content with being poor, and live a humble life through the lord Jesus Christ.

For the reward in heaven is far greater than all things earthly.

Re: How to be young and wealthy
biggest glp thread ever - just maybe.... for me it would be learning how to make something especially from easily available very low cost these days, electronics parts. Many are less than a penny or a cent. Growing plants to sell. Having a skill/service to offer beyond the competition - something novel. Computer programming should get more and more appealing for many now. bump hf

Just yesterday I sent my cover letter and resume to a family friend at Rockstar Games. I'm hoping to get into video game testing or something, waiting now to see if anything comes of it, expecting to wait at least 2-3 months and I need to get my finances up and figured out until then..

To the member who spoke about the words of Jesus I am a believer in God and his power. I do know what I want with my life and that is not to give up all material. I do not have a lot as is, I do not want to move backwards. I have to do what is best for my own health, well being and potentially a family that I would be supporting as well. This cant be done by being a biblical profit, as it does not cut or even reduce medical fees let alone the other bullshit.

Re: How to be young and wealthy
start buying gold and silver...

buy silver now... when the ratio drops to 15-30:1, then you sell it for gold

when the ratio goes back to 50-70:1, then you sell your gold for silver.. You will end up having more silver than before without spending a dime.


right now the ratio is: 73 oz. of silver = 1 oz of gold. so, 73:1


you can become extremely rich if you start buying now. the prices are going to skyrocket in the next 5 years... If I were you, i would start working like crazy and spend 90% of your paycheck on silver and gold..

PS: ditch the GF and getting an apartment.. girls will drain your savings. Once you get rich, girls will come to you...

im in my mid 20's right now and im 5- 7 years away from retirement. i invested in my teens, and now i have alot of gold and silver...

hell, i dont even own a cellphone, iphone, ipad, car or other shit kids buy these day. All i buy is precious metals.

Re: How to be young and wealthy
Both my husband and I paid for our college and were totally in debt when we married right after graduation - with no capital at all. Our one car crapped out two days prior to our getting married. We lived in a cockroach infested basement apartment in Philly. We got jobs and our brain-power, work ethic and social skills advanced us. We've done OK. I guess the biggest thing is to recognize your opportunities and have persistence. Don't bail when the going gets tough.

Re: How to be young and wealthy
Not going to make you or anyone else rich, but just FYI, the Wichita News just announced that they are unable to find people to fill highway patrol jobs ($20 per hour roughly) and there is a severe shortage.

Now, there must be something wrong with the system when I hear untrained people bitching daily about not being able to find a job paying more than minimum wage yet they won't take a patrol job for $20. Kind of makes me think there really isn't a job shortage. I find the same thing with SPED teachers. Nobody wants to be one and they pay $45K.

Re: How to be young and wealthy
The reason why Jesus says that the extremely wealthy will find it very difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven is because with so many material possessions, a person will have a very difficult time transitioning from the moment of death.

The wealthy person will find it extremely difficult to leave all of their possessions and fancy belongings behind them.

As for a poor person, he or she will not find it as difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven because there is nothing that is left behind- just the person.

BUT, if you are wealthy and love others as Jesus has loved them, and have an understanding of the transition into the Kingdom of God, the wealthy person will also enter the Kingdom of God.

Thank you for the inspirational message, truly shows that when two people are close enough love can overcome all. I'm going to show this to my girlfriend tonight.

start buying gold and silver...

buy silver now... when the ratio drops to 15-30:1, then you sell it for gold

when the ratio goes back to 50-70:1, then you sell your gold for silver.. You will end up having more silver than before without spending a dime.


right now the ratio is: 73 oz. of silver = 1 oz of gold. so, 73:1

Sounds too good to be true, if I had capital i'd probably take the leap and invest. I dont know much about the prices of silver or gold, I thought it was dropping.

I probably wouldnt want to give up my phone but potentially a great thing to invest in 10 years for me at this rate..

Yes...aspiring to have a lot money is new and unique...there are so few thinking about this that you're bound to succeed!
