Fastest way is to take a few grand and buy a deck to get up to the high leagues right away. Make the cost back and keep playing. I built my first collection from 10 bucks and it was like 20-30K when I sold it all and bought into the SPS DAO SPT DAO heavily now I am just starting to play again now that I have it set to make like 30-40K at current prices from the game passivly and any active playing income. Also my back up 40K dividend stream but I worked 15 years for that 60 hrs a week and school so at 32 and being financially free but still need to save and reinvest for 10-20 more years heavily so I will be minimizng expenses alot for 5 years then slowly working some I like back in and at 4 I will likely have 1.5-2X the passive income and that will be enough to not worry at all but still only use half so a trust can be formed for are family to keep the generational wealth my dad created going forever so no one ever needs to slave away again in my family. Your world changes when you do not need to work and you dont think about time=money you just do things that are good and interesting and the money tends to follow. And you have all day to think about ideas for side hustles like I open bank accounts and make more than as a CPA lol. Need to know how to use all the loop holes to get medicaid and other subsidies which can be obtained by using planning techniques to make income exactly what it needs to be to max the tax benefit and cash taken home. You can even be a millioniare and be on medicaid saving 24K a year if you pay out of pocket for family. Just shove it all in your solo 401K use loans with you and your wife to take out up to 100K to keep income low and also buy real estate to create losses or buy equipment and buildings for a new business to turn a big gain into a loss or now tax situaiton. Get tons of credits this year. Suck in all that money while you can going to need to invest to keep your net worth if its in cash you slowly let money die. With higher inflation need higher yield investments used to buy other riskyer assets and stable coins with high yields to buy other assets with larger returns so the total retur cash on cash will likely be 20% plus another 10-15% from the invested earnings in high risk high reward pools etc. so expected unleverd earnings of 30% apr but add 50% leverage and you get to 60% apr and add max 4/1 on stable money markets in IBKR then use the money to lend to stable coins you get 4X to lend at 20% plus 10-15% to so 80% stable coin return and 60% on risk part of portfolio. Total of 140% with hedged positions that are leveraged using traditional margin loans on say money market etfs that dont move but will allow up to 15% after 25% initial margin and with a money market we could get 5/1 eventually and have pretty much very low risk as everyting is based on the USD Stabe coins used to buy equities, crypto, private deals, reinvest in stable. Generate a huge return by using a hybrid strategy. I am going to start running my personal finances like a business as well unlock my caged 401K using a solo checkbook 401K to invest in anything so I can have most of this in my 401 and defer taxes on it getting benefits as I will have only a 20K or less AGI always to get benefits that increasing income you end up losing tens of thousands. Id rather increase cash flow that doesnt show up on taxes yet. You can make way more as long as you use the strategies wealthy use. I use them all as I did there taxes lol I havnt had to pay a dime in 3 years legally just by restructuring my income streams to offset each other with tax loss not cash flow. Real estate will provide years of deferred cash flow allowing you to avoid taxes likely for generations as step ups occur. Once you understand you can break free from the volunary slavery were in today. If your family attains a certain financial freedom you do not need to comply with things like a manditory mask mandate your just dont go where you have to no job worried about losing. Thats the best part no job to lose bc I wont fire me. If you can find a passion and get out survive on dividends than Id say go for it as working in cororate america will suck out your soul I am so happy the last time I set foot in a office was 2 years ago lol. Now I get mail box money and invest it for a living. Also play splinterlands lol.
