You guys do know that there's only three ways to really "get it" don't you?
>Go to college for something useful >Join the military >Learn a good trade
I know that you're about to say. >"m-muh business" >"muh investing"
Assuming that you don't have a trust fund and don't have an interest free loan from mommy and daddy, where is that startup money going to come from? Investors? You think investors are going to loan money to someone with no experience or education? Maybe if your parents have rich friends, but that's not up to you. Creditors? What bank is going to loan you money without some sort of collateral? No bank I've ever heard of.

A normal dead end job
It requires leaving your basement to go to work, daily

Two part time jobs then; dishwasher and landscaping - living the dream
Dylan Butler
Well alright there Jay Z.
Except you subsist on a normal, dead end job. You don't have enough income to amass your nest egg.
Tyler Turner
You're not building your nest egg from the dead end jobs. You're building a up capital to start a small business.
It can be accomplished by living well below your means for a relatively short period of time (6-12 months).

I think you've got an unrealistic idea of what a non-trade, non-union worker with only a high school diploma can expect to make even if they cut corners on personal expenditures. Your time frame is also totally unrealistic.

Door to door with a lawn mower and some business cards - $250.
I'd agree it's unrealistic if I didn't do it myself. 9th grade dropout btw, never bothered going back. I hire people that 'get it' to do the hard work while I manage it.
