    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    HOT! INVESTING 
    A tip for people with crappy cars: Get AAA. It's like $100 a year. You get 4 tows or whatever a year. A lot of your stress with owning a crappy car goes away. We own some crappy vehicles in my business. They break down. They get towed to the mechanic. Fixed up. Ready to go. Comes out a lot...

    Is black magic the real key to wealth? (And other lies we sell ourselves)

    HOT! 
    Hey @Yzn - I'll share my thoughts but think they should have zero impact on what you do with your life. We're all different. As long as you don't create harm to anyone in the process, do whatever you want and define your ethics however you want. To answer this, I want to start by addressing...

    Eh. @lunga ngcobo is in South Africa. There's definitely opportunities, maybe even more than in most parts of America depending what you get into. As for "communist countries" or other countries where the government has more control, it's the same, just a different game. Instead of paying...

    A Warning for Young Guys: Money is NOT the way to solve your Girl Problems

    Original post is shit, but the thesis is the same. If you want to be with attractive women, you should be attractive.

    Lower your bodyfat. Put on muscle. Dress better. Improve your hygiene. Get a better haircut. Easy ways to get started. Something that 99% of people won't do.

    Naw. I just F*cked a lot hotter girls when I got in shape vs when I was out of shape. You keep reading the internet and using your nerd jargon. I'll keep doing what I'm doing.

    This is what happened after I knocked 75 doors. (Real Estate)

    FTE 
    Let him knock on doors. No one's doing it, so it might just work. And if it doesn't work, then he's at least developed the confidence to do sales in person. That may not be valuable in real estate (or it may, we don't know), but it sure as hell is valuable in B2B sales. @Guts I vote that you...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I have $100k in work vehicles for my business, but drive an $8k used Volvo day to day. I'm not a car guy, so my purchasing decision was simple: Something that won't break or give me headaches in the next 2-3 years, but also isn't so cheap that it will cost me reputation. I sometimes get the...

    Stay-at-home dad with a $100k budget to start a side business while parenting. What business do you recommend?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Not to go against your point, but the business @Greg R bought was absolute trash when he bought it and would be worthless if he let it operate the same way as when he acquired it. Greg was the difference. Him acquiring the business just helped him streamline his focus and cut down on the 3...

    If you can afford it, take a trip outside of South Africa to somewhere that's complete opposite. London, Singapore, New York. A place like that. You spending time there for a week or two will put into perspective your local environment and challenge your beliefs. You'll quickly realize which...

    Is black magic the real key to wealth? (And other lies we sell ourselves)

    HOT! 
    @lunga ngcobo -- "Black magic" has absolutely nothing to do with success. "Black magic" is simply your local community's way of describing something they don't understand: why some people can become successful and others don't. It's your version on a very niche basis of "slowlane paradigm"...

    Best book for deciding margins?

    Seriously though, there's no book. Do what @Empires said. Figure out what the market will pay. Then figure out what you can buy for. Optimize both. That's your margin. Also: STOP LOOKING FOR BOOKS FOR EVERY QUESTION YOU HAVE. Books are worthless for a majority of business questions. Instead...
