>>12248030>Scientifically, what is the best way to make 10 million dollars by age 35 without doing anything illegal?1. Get a CS degree and hook yourself into silicon valley before the tech-bubble bursts.
2. CS degree, work for some businesses, find a pain point, and build a B2B application(s) and sell it as SaaS (big business will easily shell out 100k a year each for something useful as such)
Get an MBA, not for the degree but for the connections. Make friends with rich-daddy dudes. Become good bros. When his dad gets him a comfy investment job, have him take you with him. Work for a hedge fund.
All of this assumes you make smart decisions about cost of living and saving (AKA don't spend money like at all).
Also, 100k savings is chump change. I spend about 30-40k a year for my lifestyle. I make 90k a year. I've invested around 400k over 7-8 years. I'm 31. Although it will be early 40s, I plan on retiring around 40-45 and living off investment money.
Also for some reason people think saving money is some weird binary thing, where you either spend paycheck-to-paycheck and live comfortably or eat rice and live like a hobo in a crack house and scrounge money. I own a house (small but perfect for me), have a cheap but clean-ass car, and a motorcycle, hobbies I dump money into, etc. I don't think I've ever considered myself a penny-pincher. All I did was, as I got higher paying jobs, I didn't increase my spending past my "this is a comfortable life" point like most people do. I went from 30k a year to 60k a year, increased spending slightly. Went up to 90k a year and didn't increase spending at all.
If I lived in a city with a higher cost of living, I'd make about 150k for the same job, but I'm fine where I'm at.
