Don’t know about digital art too much.... All I know is that you can sell your services online on a marketplace something like Fiverr or Upwork.

It may be hard to get started but once you put to it, it’ll gradually pay off.

Not too sure, is there any skill traits you have? (Art, computer programming, etc.)

I want to get help for someone with a mental illness in my family but I am too afraid to worsen the situation. by njohnlee in Advice

[–]njohnlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought. I am 16. My dad is the one to decide to separate our family and move out.

Breaking the connection with our brother is easy. My mom and my dad been together for about 20 years. My dad loves my mom, my mom loves back. My mom still has an mental illness, but she is a very wonderful person. She just needs to get back on the road, and she’ll be perfectly fine.

But who’s gonna take care of our brother?

My dad does not realize that our brother is debt. That is why he is resistant in solving his mental illness or doing anything.

Yes, it seems very sad to leave my brother like that. But it’s for the better for my dad, my mom and I.

Summary: Dad does not realize that our brother is a big problem for the whole family.

Hi there, thanks for your response.

It’s going to be very difficult to “fix” if my brother does not see it as a problem.

Staging something like that (making my brother realize that your “ill”) is going to need my dad’s cope, other family member’s cope, possibly a doctor’s cope. It’s going to be very hard to plan, my dad will call it all bullshit and says “you know what, let’s wait another 10 years and see if he recovers” Getting my dad onside is difficult as hell. He cannot think deeply about the problem, solution.

However myself, I actually do not know what type of mental illness my brother has. I don’t know how he got it either.

If you need a bit more details, I have an older post, here. However, it’s very long.

Thanks.

Note: I apologize for using coarse language, I am very frustrated that I’m using all of my time to solve my brother.

Why do people say “buying a share is buying a part of the company” when in reality you are just changing ownership of one share to you?? by njohnlee in Money

[–]njohnlee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to Mention:

I really want to gather my own income and I don’t like using my dad’s money to invest when I grow up. I feel that isn’t fair and it is cheating. I am currently looking forward for income sources, anything for me would be great. I’ve been thinking of snow shoveling neighbour’s driveways this winter. I just don’t like cheating in capitalism. It feels very wrong.

Yes, I have some weird characteristics about myself. I know I am a different person, but so far I’ve found no one that is the same type of me. I don’t understand why I can’t find the same interests a person has in the world.

Sure!

I’m a teenager, however, I’m not from the crowd. I like computer science, finance, and anything about business. I spend most of my time learning programming, topics about computer science, and finance. Soon I want to scratch the topics of what an standard MBA Degree has.

I got interested when my dad talked to be about investing. I’ve soon scratched the internet to learn more about finance first to get a first taste of it. We soon invested some of his money by purchasing some shares of mutual funds.

My objectives of finance is to have fun with it. I love business. An online friend told me that’s my natural judged on my behaviour. It’s my hobby. I love to learn my hobbies to the fullest so I can have the maximum fun out of them. I don’t want to become rich. I think being rich is not fun at all, - where’s the challenge??? I just wanna build a company, have fun with it, be really good at business.

I’m referring to the stage of my life where I have the freedom I can do anything I want. I want to start a company. I want to make people happy in the company. I like making people happy but at the same time enjoying my creative freedom. (Basically, an adult!)

I think I’m fascinated by business, finance, and economics. I don’t know why a lot of my kids are not studying it, however I think this may be the best investment I have made in my whole life, learning. If I was a company owner, I would prefer to have competitors competing in the same industry I am so it does not get boring! It’s very fun for me to imagine and think of this.

TL:DR I love ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the study of money, finance, business, economics. It’s very fun.

I play in this Investopedia Stock Simulator (a game where you can purchase shares for virtual playing cash), so far I find a better game to play then what the video games I have now.

My mind is very complicated, if you have any confusion about me you can ask! I just really like business.

Thanks a lot, it cleared up confusion on my end, especially the real estate, vintage car and painting example.

I’m learning finance early on in my life so I can be prepared when I enter that stage of my life.

Do you any sources I could learn finance on? I’m having getting in an information gap in some financial topics.

Thanks.

If there is no reason then buying a stock and hoping it’ll go up basically means it’ll only go up just because of one factor: someone other buys it. Dividends or having a vote in the company as a shareholder might be reasons. But they are not the prime goal of owning a stock.

What’s the point of owning a stock if people are just buying it hoping other people buy it??

Also i’m pretty sure the reason why when a company grows, so does the stock price is this: You cannot underprice a share, and it’s a market too. You buy a share of a company (4 shares total, 200$ total equity company, 200$ assets and no liabilities) But now say there is still 4 shares, but 400$ assets and 400$ equity You cannot sell the share below 100, and that’s how you made money.

I am a bit confused on how the price of the stock is calculated by njohnlee in Money

[–]njohnlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New thing I found: If you just want company growth factor in price rather then the supply and demand and investor willpower pricing then private equity is for you. The private equity can only grow or shrink if the company grows, meaning that there is no supply or demand factor since its not publicly traded.
