Gambling can offer a reward, at considerable risk to your capital. But if you hit a winner...
Keeping cash in a bank offers you very little reward, but it's relatively safe.
Somewhere in between is investing. In this you speculate, evaluating risk and reward. There really are no guarantees here, despite what a seller (broker) might say.
A good rule about speculating is that only put up what you can afford to lose. In the long run, if you do things right, you will be OK.
Think of your local market. For every seller there must be a buyer. But the price is dynamic, depending on demand.
Land (real estate) is not liquid. Pick well, buy right and don't be in a hurry.
Business? Better know what you are doing. Most fail in the first three years. Covid has not helped this platform.
Precious metals are a good thing to study. They are steady and then something happens and if you sell, you will do fine. Wait and maybe you won't.
Try anmmo. Those who bought long ago are harvesting record profits. It's hard to say what might happen if made illegal. I think it might spike a real climb, but now you have risk and had better know your buyer well.
Bitcoin is too ephemeral IMHO. It might be OK if you are near the top of the blockchain... oops, sounding like a pyramid hahaha
If you can afford the admission price of business class, which might be 10x on a long haul, I find it worth it.
Being able to sleep fully reclined ensures you can hit the ground running at your destination. There's no jostling because your seat has access to the aisle. Middle rows have effective barriers between. If you are traveling with someone, you'll find it a little strange. You can use a private intercom. There's very little drama in the forward cabin. And no wait to use restrooms or get cabin service. You are treated with courtesy and respect. Attendants address you by name. On international, you have access to the airline lounge. Some good, some meh, but all are comfortable. You are prioritized while in the airport, a small but nice convenience.
As a for-instance, from mid-country USA to Paris is two legs. I can arrive at the airport at about 930am local. At the international airport I have two hours to burn in the lounge and board mid-afternoon. At 1000am local I'm in ground transport to the city center, fully rested. So I have no weary bleary feeling, it's simply a fresh day. I have no recurring jet lag. It's similar on the return. Essentially I have avoided a day or two of adverse effects.
It works the same going westbound, though there are more hours in travel.
We guys have code words too. Here for your education:
"I'll get around to it." Actually, that's an error in your hearing. A round tuit is a special coin we keep in our pocket for emergency use. Its purpose is to buy time. It can never be spent, only used.
"Five minutes." Like yours, a variable unit of time. "I only have five minutes till the liquor store closes." is on the short side. The long is five minutes in US football which ranges from 20 minutes to an hour or more, depending on whether the game goes into overtime.
"I'll ... later." This concept was borrowed from Mexico, where they say, "manana." It translates as tomorrow but it actually means not now, because tomorrow never comes.
"OK." Surprisingly enough, it means everything is all right. Similarly, we use "no" and "yes" in the same way. It's confusing, I realize, but it is due to our limited brain capacity to handle inflection, and our eyebrows do not move expressively.
You will soon close one, I'm sure. Legs an blonde hair help. And you will learn from that how to close the next six.
You might, while the connection still is on, check out anything by Zig Ziegler (sp?). He was the consummate salesman and teaches how to move from meet to close as quickly as possible. A ton of paperback books and every one a winner.
