And if so, how?
I have this thing where I want to actually have some money. I just read Tim Ferriss's Four Hour Work Week, and I fully plan on pursuing that path, but other advice is still welcome.
For example, I was playing this online game and some guy was talking about how he made money by buying old bikes from the recycling center (or maybe it was the junkyard), refurbishing them, then reselling them.
Not a way to make lots of money, but still different. Little cool stuff like that. Thank you.

That really matters a lot. Sucks for you if you have a high pay job but don't enjoy it.
I am sure you'll be able to find a better job as you get older since you're only like in your 20s? I assume?

It really doesn't take much to make a lot of money. Basically, you have to be always vigilant for opportunities, and be willing to make loads of contacts. Walk around town and meet people, eventually you will find someone who needs something, like a bulk order or something, offer to find them the best price for a small percentage of the cost. Put all your skills on the table, good at setting up computers and fixing bugs? There's a huge market for that everywhere, be like a neighborhood computer consultant. Eventually you will find some product or service that everyone desperately needs but somehow lives without. This is your goldmine. Go and put some property under collateral for a bank loan or talk to a venture capitalist (this is where contacts come in handy) and start that business. Remember to incorporate it so that you don't have to deal with personal liabilities and it's easy to walk away from should it fail.

I make decent money as a business IT consultant, but it's lots of work. However, once I am specialized in an area few people know about I can freelance for $200/hour.

i saw on another thread that your not willing to post how much you make, but how much do the other commentators make that have been doing it for a while like the three guys always commentating sc
on topic, i'm not rich, but I don't really see much value in money yeah its important but I really don't care much about it, if I ever bought a lottery ticket for shits and giggles and won I donate most of it to charity, i'm not materialistic at all so I don't see what I would do with it >_>
ps: don't bother asking me for my money saying i dont care for it I still have bills and school to pay
