THERE IS NO GET RICH QUICK scheme that works.
I disagree, there are LOTS of get rich quick schemes that work.
1. inherit money.
2. steal money.
3. get an MBA from an ivy and then a crazy-high-paying wall street job, and don't blow it all on stupid shit.
4. start a technology business or write a smartphone app, then get bought out by google or facebook.
5. start a traditional business and manage it well.
6. convince other people that you are an investing genius, start your own hedge fund.
7. take on enormous debt to play high risk bets on the stock market. You can only go so bankrupt, and might hit it big.
There are lots more. The problem with all of these plans is that they are high risk. They can either make you very rich or very poor.
For most people here, gathering a million dollars is just sort of the side effect of working diligently at a job they find meaningful while living a deliberately restrained lifestyle. It's not necessarily an end in itself. Making money your life's goal is a sure path to misery and disappointment, but that doesn't mean there's not a path available for the choosing.
