8 Tips On How To Get Rich Fast

Ranked #6,099 in Business & Work, #176,064 overall

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get rich tomorrow? What would you do with all that money? Well believe it or not it can be done. Now I didn't say it would be easy I just said you could do it. Here are 8 tips on how to get rich fast.

1. Invest - Start young

In fact start while you are in elementary school, kindergarten is even better. It's the beauty of compound interest and over time your money will grow into a nice nest egg. Okay if you are reading this you are probably too old to start in elementary school but you can get your kids hooked. As for you the best plan of defense is to invest 50% of your salary in a high risk market fund or the penny stock market. You've got a 50-50 chance. You'll either make a million or be broke in 90 days.

2. Marry Rich - Now how difficult can this be?

All you need to do is find someone who has loads of money and marry them. Okay I didn't say you'd be happy just rich. Perhaps not a solution for most of us but it apparently works for a few.

3. Win The Lottery

Ya ya I know the odds of getting struck by lightening are better than the odds of winning the lottery but you can't win if you don't try and it's one of the few ways I know of that you can get rich fast.

4. Rich Parents

If you come from a wealthy family then you are half way there. All you have to do is stay in their good books and convince mom and dad to not spend their money and leave it to you when they pass. After all why should your parents get to enjoy the wealth they reaped?

5. Get An Education

Go to school for lots of years, accumulate plenty of debt, and choose a career that pays big bucks. After about 10 years in your profession you should be rolling in the dough and you might even be filthy rich before you get old

6. Become A Star

Heck if Jennifer Aniston or Nicolas Cage can do it why can't you. A couple of acting lessons and you should be set. All you need to do is head to Hollywood and strike it big. One good movie and you'll be set for life.

7. Invest In Real Estate

Buy high sell low - whoops I think I got that backwards. Buy low, wait 10 years, 20 years, maybe even 30 years but inflation will have your investment growing by leaps and bounds and you could be filthy rich especially if you bought in an up and coming city while house prices were still low. Now if you bought in Hicksville USA you may have a problem. It might take more than your lifetime to see any dramatic increases. Oh well you can leave it to your kids who can leave it to their kids and in another 100 years or so someone's going to be sitting pretty.

8. The Internet Way

Heck where have you been. A quick search on the Web will reveal plenty of sites that will teach you how to make $50,000 a day. Now I think most of us could live quite comfortably on that don't you? All you need to do is part with about $500 and they'll tell you the secrets of wealth in one page or less. If the first one doesn't do it for you perhaps you might want to try a few more. Oh wait a minute. Perhaps what you need to do is set up one of these sights, then you'll be the one getting rich off the other poor fools that part with their $500.

Conclusion

Sure most of these ideas are pretty off the wall but if getting rich fast was easy wouldn't we all be rich? Then what fun would there be in that? We'd all have too much money and probably be bored to tears. So why not aim for better life with good friends, love, happiness, and enough money to live comfortably but not so much that you stop dreaming about what you would do if you were rich.

i love to know what you think

Well...I like your point about living a better life. I personally would start with making a difference for others.

I've gotta be honest though, some of these answers feel a bit cynical to me.

I would say the best way to get rich would be to stop making your focus earning wages and instead focus on creating assets. That doesn't mean I advocate quitting your job, but you should put all of your additional time and effort into asset-creating.

We are trained to be wage-slaves from an early age. We must unlearn that mentality.

There are many many other strategies and benefits to real estate other than just buy low/sell high. My advice there would be to avoid commercial lenders altogether and deal directly with the current owners of the property. Find someone with a serious problem and offer a solution.

There are no bad properties in Real Estate, only bad financing and lack of imagination. Financing should always be setup so that the property cash flows.

Thanks for the lens though! It reminded me of some of the important things in life. :)

These replies seem to be pretty sarcastic but interesting. But I thank you becuase you just gave me a great idea on how to make some extra money, and if I put it to work I might just make enough to become rich. I thank both you and the people who commented. Come on people think about what he just did. If you can't figure it out than it's going to take that much longer to become rich. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
