Crypto is great, but lets face it, starting your own biz is the real way.
I have a cushy job as a developer, make good money, not much stress. but the office life is killing me slowly, at least being an employee is killing me.
I've got a great fucking idea and I will quit my job to develop it. I swear the idea is very cool and I have the all the graphical/technical skills to make it happen.
Any other user here taking some risk? I cant stand the predictible-boring employee life.
This is exactly how economies grow. I wish you the best luck.
Best bet is finding something inherently addictive and market it well.
Just ensure yourself that you have enough capital to actually kickstart the project, and pay for your expenses during that time (at least 3 months). If you can manage to do this while working, might as well. Just make sure no one knows about it, so you don't get Zuckerberged
I can't stand it either but unlike you I lack the skills to make that kind of dream come true. Where do you learn? I'm being serious. I want more than anything in the world to be self-employed. I just don't know how.
i just quit my job and looking into game dev, in the off chance that it will make me happy.
never going back to wagecucking
and how is being a developer low stress?
Its quite hard to pretend you're working while developing a side project. I still have to show up to the office and pretend Im working, it's stressful.
I studied Computer Science and develop mobile apps.
You need to travel, read people and learn the basics.
Before you quit your job for your "great idea" - find out if anyone actually wants it.
One of the worst things you can is develop a product then find out there's no market for it.
Im working on a project that is not top priority in my company, so its relatively low stress. Ive been on projects with tight deadlines and millions of users waiting for each update, I agree it can be quite stressful. Each bug can cost a ton of money
game dev is a meme unless you are actually working on cool ideas or copying a popular format/adapting to cancer.
Gourmet keto restaurant? idk
My dream is running a brothel and interviewing the girls like on those casting videos on xvideos. I want my brothel to be a full porno exoerience where you can face fuck the girl etc
Everything is a meme then. Doesnt make any sense.
>You need to travel
Wait, I've backpacked across 3 different countries, live abroad, and taught a year in a school abroad, studied abroad, married my wife abroad, etc.
>read people and learn the basics
Please explain more if possible on this. I actually think I'm fairly good at reading people, and learn the basics of what?
Game dev requires large funds to begin with unless your focus is on storyline, i.e. hgg and taboo stuff.
I see.. I studied mathematics and got my degree 2 years ago. I have some programming experience but it's pretty minimal because I've never had any good applications to develop my skill with, only courses in college and the occasional macro or side project that came up on a job working with insurance data.
Just know how to exploit the insanity of people and how to make yourself antifragile in the economic environment.
Create anticryptocurrency
Or physical cryptocurrency wihout a blockchain
My goal is to make 40k this year trading
>doubled my .25 btc in the last two weeks
>No it wasn't from one coin (about 10 trades)
Then I want to buy a house in my college town with 5 bedrooms and rent out the other 4 to other college kids and pay off the house while sitting on my ass
>Am I going to make it?
If you attack with the right angle, I think you can bootstrap a successful game.
If you go after AAA games of course you're gonna get destroyed.
But so many games on the playstores lack originality, they all have the same theme and universes (heroic fantasy, vikings etc). A little originality goes a long way.
Man I also have one great idea that's quite simple and one really great idea that's a bit more complex.
I'm only 18 though so I plan to wait a bit to see if crypto($10k atm) will moon again this year so I could take some time off to prepare myself mentally and to plan everything through. Atm I have a android game that's getting about 1k downloads a week and $100 a month, so hopefully I can get it to $700.
crypto is literally better unless you have some serious connections.
One thing that's missing is a Minecraft based RTS i.e.
Take your income and buy btc. Top economists say it will hit at least 100,000$ in the next 3-5 years
Im in REQ and LINK already.
LINK is looking strong, I would recommend taking your profits on the way up into btc though bc once btc starts mooning alts are going to start dropping imo
Well my plan is to invest in crypto anyways.
But when it comes to life, I feel much better building something.
Buy a house and rent the rooms out dude, creating safe passive income is definitely an easy way to get ahead.
I'd rather invest in my company for the moment.
Wait for the real estate market to drop/go down in a year or two.
>Buy a house for 250k
>15k down payment
>1,000$ a month for the mortgage
>Rent the rooms for a total of 1,600$
>Bank 600 a month
>Live there so roomies pay/don't fuck the house up
>Sell the house after a few years when the market is back up
>All the while you are investing in your business and making money while not paying rent
Nuf said
Where are you expecting to get a decent mortgage rate and/or a mortgage, at all, putting down ~5% down payment? This post is pure fantasy unless you are a veteran or outside US
is the book by Taleb worth it?
Once the market drops again it will be easier to get better rates. All decided by the Jew FED
Also, not nuf said. You forget costs of utilities, repairs, finding tenants, property taxes, insurance, and other random shit v that pops up. Fuck you you ignorant fucking fuck
It's HARDER to get loans in a down economy. Do you even 2007/2008? I'm really beginning to suspect you're 15. Every word you say is wrong.
But ballrun is confirmed I'm up at all time high and we not even close to the 217 eoy shit that happened,,;;;
buy some land and build a shed or whatever.
businesses are to make money, not be a money pit.
College kids will fucking destroy your house.
Trying to get the thread back on track, launching my own biz in about 3 weeks.
>Gourmet food truck
>About 20k personal money put in it
>10 months getting everything ready (was working while doing it)
>50k worth of loans (nicely spread out at least)
>Need to come up with 20k in the next 6 months to pay something off
>The whole process cost a lot more than expected and everything took twice as long
>No experience in the industry, only passion and strong interest and believe there is a good enough market for it
>Pretty terrifying
>Just want to survive my first year
I'm kind of a meme and probably a story on how not to do things, but it feels good to be taking control of my destiny and taking risks that nobody around me is. This is my own personal way of making it.
Good luck user
Utilities is another 300 a month max which is divided property tax is another 150 a month. Finding tenants? lol I sub lease my rooms and can find a fill in less than a week. Repairs Don't happen that often and when they do I could do it myself for a lot cheaper. The real way to profit off of it is to buy when the market is low and pay off the mortgage. 1600 for 4 rooms is 400 a month which is extremely conservative.
thanks bud, I'll be back in October (biz is seasonal) to help people out with what I learnt from the process. I would like to see this board diversify from crypto.
>Implying October isn't moon season for crypto
KEK
Just in time then to put all my profits on crypto and get that lambo for 2019
I'm actually putting in my 2 weeks on Friday.
I have a $60k/yr gig as an electronics technician, my first job out of college. I thought my dual bachelor's would let me do actual cool design shit but this job made me realize I don't care about electrical anything, rather just software. I already have plenty of programming experience, just not many projects under my belt or a portfolio I can show employers.
So, I'm quitting to focus full-time on getting some of that shit done and hopefully finding a coding gig. Gonna allocate some time especially to Solidity writing smart contracts, as well as other traditional languages and also working on a Python trading bot. I literally have no real plans except some really cheap rent, a few thousand in savings, and the burning desire to not wake up at 5:30 and drive 45 minutes to the DC metro area every day in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Worst thing about the job actually is just the fact that we're not allowed to use our phones. Before, I just disregarded the rule and read Jow Forums and even traded a bit, but they're cracking down on it now. So that's literally what I'm going to tell them when I give them my notice.
What kind of food you making and what state are you operating in? I was just reading about Cousins Maine Lobster and would love to try your food out.
Wrong country sorry bud, UK making artisan gelato then selling it from mobile location to posh kids.
Ty for pic, will print and look at everyday
