Get really good at online poker

The only thing that comes to mind is becoming a flea bay trader or day trading stocks. Trading stocks is one way to guarantee you will make a small fortune. So long as you start with a big one.


If all you need is $150 a week then you need to go for the disability pension and then you are set.

$150 works out to be about $8000 a year. If you worked hard for a few years then you probably could save over $100,000 depending on what sort of job you have, but even the lowest paid jobs would be alright as long as you put in the hours.

You should be able to get around $150 a week return on the right sort of investment. My wife works for a bank and they offer capital guaranteed investment products offering around 12 to 15 per cent return per annum.

Last year I had the offer of a lifetime. My wife asked me to stop working as her income was pretty good. For some stupid reason I said I enjoyed my work, which I kind of do. I mainly enjoy interacting with the people at work more than the work itself which is pretty boring.

How about Windsurfing News Editor?

Pay is lousy, but it will certainly make use of those spare 3 hours.

Is Prostitution legal in Australia?

Dunno what the answer is otherwise we'd all be doing it.

No you wouldn't, coz most of you have family commitments or are settled in Australia with a good job and lifestyle you'd feel reluctant to give up. It's not everyone's cup of tea. And I'm sure SOME people do it, but they have to think outside the box to make it happen.

Mobydisc, I've tried so many times to save up $100,000 but the most I've ever been able to put together was about 20K, and then I had to spend the whole lot on travelling and other crap just to recover from all that work. And I'm NOT willing to waste the few remaining years of youthfulness I have left working like a dog to try to save up a nest egg.

SO...online poker? Nope, porn? Nope, come on, doeas anyone have any serious ideas?? E-commerce is huge nowadays. There must be something. Maybe working as a proofreader for a publisher?? My background is in education (I'm an ESL teacher, because with a BA in Philosophy, that's about all I'm qualified to do)...

keep the good ideas flowing, along with the crap...

hers's a plan,

sell your house.

put $70,000 in a line of crdit account to cover 2 years living expenses.

buy a "renovators delight". make up difference with interest only loan. move into house and begin renovating.

when it's windy go sailing, when it's not "renovate"

after 1 year rent out renovated delight then borrow again and buy another "renovators delight".

repeat for 10 years.

then sell 2-3 renovated delights and retire.

Wet Willy I have 2 provide 4 ,6 people so my expenses are greater & being a builder well i cant do it with a lap top but my work is regularly in very luxury homes on the water its why i took up sailboarding instead of being blown off the ladder i now try to get in the water like i saw the people carving it up & i now plan them jobs by the Green arrows ha ha My wife has just asked me to go out & punch the motocrosses in the head that is honing up & down the street but I'm deaf apparently another neighbor has already done this you never here noise complaints from windsurfers (I Race enduro Yamaha 600 tt ) i have being a young arsehole on a two stroke but i grow up on a farm acreage sorry just got phone call grandmother died not joking

wetty, come over here to the phils. let's do something about this am getting to where you are in a couple of years and i think it's time we find a cheap place to retire to or have it rented and do some little work for more windsurfing,,,too bad i live a not so independently wealthy lifethere's about 7thousand islands here and i'd place my bet on half of them would suit your work habits

jesus h tap dancing christ, the answer is pretty obvious, you need to generate traffic, hence, souless scumbagg advertising, you have to be good at it and have people wanting, nah, chasing, dare i say even addicted to what you have to say or contribute to whatever it is you find is your niche, something you're passionate about, forget about two/three hours, sometimes you'll be stuck all day, and it can become work, other times you can get away with the couple of hours you wish for... these are the days there is no wind or waves and you spend all day on places like seabreeze, trying to explain the nature of things to ignoramuses who think that setting up a country in the model of a corporation is a good idea for the people who reside within, other than that, this is a pretty litigious society we find ourselves in (always makes me laugh how everyone -here in the west- thinks there's too many of us, but will scream blue bloody murder if they so much as come across something that might just thin out the stupid or dumbest of us), go fall down some stairs or climb into the tiger pit at the local zoo....

What about starting a blog. I saw a thing on the news last night about people who spend all day writing in thier blogs. Once the blog site gets popular enough, you can get paid to have advertising on it. One of the guys last I saw was earning over $100K doing it!

With some background in philosophy surely you can come up with some decent stuff.

Yeah, I'm looking into getting started in professional writing, and a blog or some other kind of website would be one of the many small income-generating activities to consider...

Gestalt, read my lips: I'm...Not...In...Australia!!!!! I'm in Singapore and kind of in Vietnam.

No dole/disability pension/etc for Australian citizens overseas, I'm afraid.

You can't get the dole overseas but I am pretty sure you can get the pension. You have to be in Australia to claim it but once you have it you can live wherever you like.

Cool! How disabled would I need to be? How hard would it be to fake it? Seriously, you mean you don't have to have routine checks every couple of months? Just get on a disability pension and you're set for life???

Ouch! my back! Why is everything so blurry! Ohh, these headaches...can you speak up a bit? Damn knees have given out again...

Amway!

A surfing buddy of mine had a fantastic lifestyle, he did a course in accounting and does tax returns as a seasonal job. Of course tax time is mid winter so he works his but off for about four months and saves enough coin for eight months of warm water surfing.
