How to Go From Rags to Riches 2020 edition

If you’re broke now because you’re just starting out or starting over, this article will help.

First, spend idle time productively.  You can search for jobs or learn to code or start researching your desired target field.


You can look at this post of 15 high paying jobs that don’t require a degree.  If you simply need cash in a hurry, see Fast Cash and Fast Cash 2.


I’d consider the big stuff first, whether it means reducing big expenditures or finding a job or listing 100 items on eBay or shutting out everything and learning to code.  (Start at YouTube to learn to code.)


There are a few rules of thumb I use and would suggest using to get started:

1)      Whatever it is, do it right the first time.  At least try.

2)      Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. Research your dream field now even if you have no start.

3)      Overtime will probably pay more than other activities.

4)      Don’t talk to and don’t be around unsupportive people that are tards or who don’t agree.

5)      Don’t even apply for rip off credit cards.

You know what belongs on your to-do list more than any personality online or on TV.  Make your to-do list and get to work on it.


Don’t celebrate or over-celebrate successes or milestones.  Read what MJ DeMarco has to say about “hyper reality” when you get the chance.  Avoid the strawmen, informants, and astroturfer types that may come around and sow seeds of confusion.


Advertisers can lie.


The work you do on and for yourself is good for you and makes you feel good.  Build on this by avoiding fast food.


Finally, try to understand the challenges and dilemmas your boss, customers, and your inner circle face and attempt to be supportive and reliable.


After several weeks of hard work and sacrifice, consider what you can do that relates to these 147 wealth building ideas.


No excuses. Good luck.
