I don't mind someone's hard reply, since there's a chance they might point out a defect in me that I wasn't noticing. I also know it'll be different; I've been thinking of going for it at least for a few months and see how it goes.. I just reread my post and yeah.. it sounded like I'm lazy and want it handed to me--which I'm not.

I know how odds work, but.. I genuinely believe that odds can be bent if one knows enough about a subject/industry to compete in it and be the best, alongside with some business concepts. Well, whether the learning curve is a waste of time or not; it is the only way.. I actually haven't made any large amounts of money; which eats away at me sometimes.. so I have no idea whether keeping money is a skillset; I only know that I have to fight off inflation by investing it; which in itself is a large subject to dive into/learn.

You guys have a nice winter over there!

Thanks.
If you can do it without going through the learning curve, go for it. BUT, I can tell you that I don't know of anyone who has made it without going through that process. That's problem #1 -- how to make money.

Problem #2 -- You might start at least looking at the skills needed to keep money once you make it. You don't make a pile of money and then gain those skills. They are habits that you start to build with every dollar that you make. Why? Without those skills, you'll never have a pile of money to invest. No matter how much money you make, you must know how to control your expenses and use your cash flow wisely. You can't accumulate what slips through your fingers.
