Default Making money

Hey all,

Never really made a topic in the off topic section so this be my first attempt (fingers crossed not locked)

So I have a full time job, slowly started saving and to make money I fixed, built, sold computers in my own time. But now seeing as things are so cheap most buying there own computers I am looking into another way of making money. I heard shares is a good way of making a extra couple of bucks not sure how get into that, any ideas? Anyone else have ideas how to make some more money?

if anybody actually had a good way to make money, they wouldn't be telling it to you.

If they are telling you, then it's probably hard work for cheap pay and isn't worth it.

It was a contructive post, truth hurts sometimes. Work hard in what your doing, you wont ever get something for nothing.

Buy property.

In the last few years real-estate prices have been rising and rissing.

Just buy a crappy house or even just some undeveloped land, and in a few years you will have hudge profit. My family and I just bought a house last year, and in just one year, the market value has gone up 20k on our house just by sitting there.

Now if you want some hudge profit and you have some handyman skills. Buy a crap house, fix it yourself, and quikly sell it for an imediate turnaround.


Gold is another good investment. Gold prices have gone up 80% in the last 5 years.


There are some things out there that prices just keep rising and rising, and they make good investments.

I wish I would have invested in gold 5 years ago.

Stocks have hudge profit potential, but along with that, stocks also can drop on a dime, making them risky. So I recomend diversifying your stocks if you do go into this.

yea selling drugs is pretty easy, but dont do the crime if you can't do the time.

mutual funds are a good thing to put money in for long term investment with lower risk. take some investment courses and learn the terminology. if you know what you're doing, it can be fairly easy money.
