    Why confine yourself to earning a living through wage labour? There are countless other ways to make money

        Easy, just be rich already!

        You know how much labor a landlord does? None! Even if you consider things like picking up checks telling people you won’t fix stuff is labor there are services that will do that for you!

        Stocks? If you are rich you can stack the deck and never lose!

        Rich people literally cannot give money away fast enough to be poor.

        Selling a product or service on your own without going through a company. Not easy, but hypothetically possible.

        In an incredibly basic sense: buy low, sell high. As we live in a capitalist society, this is the way things work.

        Those who choose to slave away as workers are only generating profit for their overlords

          So gamble? The only proven way to reliably make money on investing are things like index funds, which you will need a fair amount of starting capital to make a living off of.

            I’m not talking about stocks. I’m talking about literally anything that people will pay money for, which is a lot of stuff. You can even make the stuff or get it for free, vastly increasing your profit margins.
