Just wondering as internet "gurus" on platforms like youtube annoy me.

Also i want to someday earn money without having a job or where i am my own boss, but im young and have next too no money, and i have no talent. ive tried the "simple" ways to get a grasp of learning. Ive tried free methods like surveys, games, ebay selling, etc, but i find that those are a waste of time/effort for me atleast and im lucking to break even. I struggle to even learn new things, school pretty much failed to teach me the right way of life.

I feel lost at life right now.

Investing in low cost, highly diversified ETF index funds. I'm currently earning roughly 3 to 4 month's wage per year passively from interests though it's all invested back into the fund.

You said you're young so this especially applies to you. Time in the market > Timing the market.

    Maybe yes, maybe not. I'm 50ish now. When I was 20ish, I decided to do grunt work and invest most of my income. I got lucky with Russia, but now I regret helping the oligarchs. If I hadn't gotten lucky, my winnings would be insignificant compared to those kids who inherited money. I also regret not investing in my education when my brain performance was at its best. I went to university late.
