Recently while hanging out with my friends, one of them said that he bought a book on how to get rich quick, with no skills or anything involved.

The book told him how to write a get rich quick scheme and sell it to others.

Epic scammed? or a Money tree?

do you have any get rich quick schemes? (legally, because everyone pretty much knows how to get rich quick illegally (*cough*Madoff*cough*))

The best thing if you want to get rich it's first find a quite good job, invest your many in a business and if you are talented you will get rich.
An other way is being a good programmer and make something like Google and you will get easily rich.

@ DDX: Thats really hilarious. So pretty much, tthe guy who sold it to him probably had the idea sold to him by a guy who had the idea sold to him.... So basically, buy 1 scheme, then sell that same scheme a whole bunch. And it's been proven to work, because he bought it. Lol.

Sure -

Bottle water, put some.. ummm I dunno, Coreandor? And a little maple syrup and.. err.. Cayenne? Yeah sure.

Put all that in a bottle, package it up, and then sell it to hippies & tell them it 'cleanses their body of impurities'.

Just make sure you have a good marketing campaign.

hah that would be a good way. you know those 6 hour power energy drinks? b12 gives you no energy after you hit your regular limit (100%)... so that is a placebo more than half the time

invent something that can be widely used

yea, I punched him for being a sucker lol. He's managed to sell 1 book to his grandmother and thats about it.

its money pyramid not tree,


money tree refers to the fact that you don't have to work anymore, and live leisurely because a money tree would bear money as fruit. I mean what I say and say what I mean, don't correct me because there is no need for correction.

hah that would be a good way. you know those 6 hour power energy drinks? b12 gives you no energy after you hit your regular limit (100%)... so that is a placebo more than half the time


yup, those things are scams too, either that or they add cocaine (red bull recently was discovered to have done so) and caffeine.

Hmm, build a time machine, go back to the time of the dinosaurs, take pictures, bring 'em back and sell 'em to non-fiction dinosaur books and museums.


not really feasible... Might as well sell the time machine for even more money...

one of the real one and my family have done is invest in gold and house. It doesn't have to be a house, it could be anything that have good cashflow.

Remember not to buy a house that have bad future (earthquake, flood, in nowhere position, in the corner, ready to collapse, etc)

My parents invest in gold, they buy a huge amout of gold when the price was 2 bucks (it's before 1996), and when monetery crisis come in all around the world, gold price rise up to around 16 bucks (after 1998)

And after that my parents buy 11 houses in one month (it's around 40X25 m2 and 4 or 5 floors each), and rent it per year (remember you have to rent it per year, so you get big chunk of money instead of waiting it per month.

My mom got around 2 M dollar after 1998 (I see her bank account)

Invest in small business but with good cashflow, find good partner, if you can't, alone always the best at first, you don't always succeed, but you can learn and make a better one, better fail now when you are small rather than fail later with big money.

dumb people wait for opportunity
mediocre people take opportunity
smart people make opportunity

rather than find a job, create a job yourself, small but good casflow, don't have to be big at first, but good in the long run, and you can do it part-time like 2-4 hours a day. If you don't want to work, don't expect anything, you don't ripe what other's plant. If you ripe what other plant, you will pay them back sometime in someways, you just don't realize it.

If you have a 30.000 dollars, which is enough to buy a good size house in Indonesia, you should buy one.

if you invest 30.000 bucks in the bank, it will give you some money per year.

But if you buy a house, that house will be 32.000-35.000 next year, and plus you get the rent money in the first month.

read some books from Robert Kiyosaki, Trump. But don't leave your school or college after read it. Do it slowly, beautifully and with entrepreneur spirit inside you.

No easy money, never do a MLM, it only profits the company. MLM, pyramid money game are brothers, it's like this,

How do you like if a friend brings you robber and rob you, and then that robber brings other 5 robbers and rob you? that's MLM.

======================================================

Last words,

Plan your future, otherwise other people will plan it for you. Your boss, your parents have no responsibility for your, you are on your own, you can't be a children forever. Whether you like it or not, care or not, you don't speak, your money speaks, your casflow speaks.

If you care about yourself and your parents,

get their merit, not only AG merit
give them something, have a good job, take them overseas with you, have fun together, make them happy, at least make their life a little bit better, unplug your headphones and study hard.
