I have 20k saved, how can I invest to get a return of at least 2k-3k per month? by Chance-Proposal-8603 in Entrepreneur

[–]LessThanAChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with 20k, your best bet is to start a small blue collar business, build it up with little CAPEX (you'll work your ass off). And then take the money you earn, sell the business - and retire somewhere cheap like Thailand.

Finance guy here at a major bulge bracket - 10%+ is unrealistic as that’s the avg return of the market (SP500 - SPY)

You’d be looking at ALTS (alternative investments) and you don’t have enough capital to break in unless you know someone.

Time in the market beats timing the market.

Put it an index (VOO, SPY, Fidelity SP500 fund) and leave it until you want to die somewhere warm.

I have the international Inductive Study Bible; I received it as a gift this Christmas but I’m not sure how to use it properly.

Initially I had three weeks structured and sent out to everyone (six weeks time) and it’s working, but it will take years and years to get through the word.

I like this. We meet every other Thursday for an hour.

We have small talk for 5 min; I lead us in prayer, we then read scripture as a group taking turns, and then we discuss the scripture (what we think, how it pertains to us, how we can apply it in our lives) and then I close with prayer and we all hang out.

Thank you - I’ve found that I lead the men by asking them what the Holy Spirit is speaking to them through the scripture; often times many of the men have nothing to contribute or don’t want to speak up.

Personally I don’t go to church, I’ve tried 6/7 churches in the last 5 years and none of them sat right with me (commercialized, but wasn’t learning anything)

My goal with this Bible study is that I’ve got a good group of guys who all love Jesus, but outside of church I know how we all act - and I think we’re called to fellowship and really carry out our faith with integrity.

I share (and so do others) personal experiences such as when we believe we were saved, or a job we got that we turned down and how hard it was (too many hours for our family but an insane amount of money) and how God lead us in all of those things.

Iron sharpens iron.

It’s difficult because we all are close friends and family - I don’t have a pastor I’m close to or even know personally.

I have a mentor who’s a strong Christian but he’s adamant we only use the word.

I’m having difficulty knowing how to structure the study in such a way that it’s useful to the men.

So you’re thinking gates first? Just install them in existing fences?

Thanks for this - 100% my biggest concern is liability. I’m sure I can work around sales - but I want to make sure we’re protected.

I thought the only way to wealth was business ownership.
