How to acquire vast amounts of currency in a exceptionally simple matter?

Question

I'm 13 I'm a bit of a lazy young lad. i live in north america in a country called the u.s.a. I'm exceptionally brilliant when i need to be. i wish to aquire "money" so i may enjoy its many uses and propertys, for example saving up for an automobile. what is the easiest and fastest manner of conducting the art of earning "legal tender" i plan on making a vast amount of it in little to no time. thanks to all the good chaps who answer back.

Answer 1

I know of a GREAT way to make money.  It's also a legal, exceptionally easy way to make money.  And if you're smart with your money, you should also do pretty well.  What way is this that I'm talking about?  WORK!!!!!  Go do something for someone.  Mow lawns and do other yardwork, babysit, run a roadside snack stand, etc.  But working is the easiest legal way to aquire money.    

Answer 2

I also live in the U.S.A. and am a bit lazy but very smart when I need to be so we have a lot in common.  Of course money is a necessary commodity if we want to feel freedom and luxury around us.  I have already saved up 14,600.00 and I am only 65.  I did it by working hard all my life once I realized the formula you seek does not exist.  If it did everyone would be doing it and we'd all be rich.

Unless you get very lucky its not going to be nearly as easy or quick as you seem to think, I don't care how "brilliant" you can sometimes be.  I also suspect your impatience may cause you to take large risks that you shouldn't, but you are young and have plenty of time to learn.

Also, stop "talking" with such flourishes, many people will take it as thinking you are to good for them and be turned off by it - do this in real life and many doors that would otherwise be open will quickly slam shut.

As to the how to do this, I haven't found any ways that don't take alot of hard work and aren't relatively slow.  I buy houses, fix them up and resell them or rent them out.  For every one I flip (buy and resell quickly) I get enough money to outright buy the next one (or so, but you gotta eat too).  If you buy correctly the rents cover all expenses and you have a fair amount of money left over for yourself.  Do a lot of these and 10 years (or so) later when the value of the things has doubled you are set.  You see the value of the houses doubled but due to inflation the cost of everything doubled too, so it seems at first glance like you are not really ahead.  However, since you bought say a 100K house with 30K out of pocket (20K equity and 10K in costs) your 20K in equity has now turned into 120K in equity (mortgage is still 80K or less but the value again doubled from 100K to 200K) so though prices doubled, your return quadrupled (from 30K into the deal to 120K equity now).  Do alot of these and inflation becomes not a problem (for you) but your very best friend.

I'm not saying this would be for you, but thats one way.  Its not so fast but 20 years later you'll be doing very well if you stick with it.  In fact if you moved on to apartment buildings and other avenues you'd be doing great.  

Best luck, whatever path you choose.
