What are your skills?

Are you willing to risk going to prison for a decade?

Possibly (as long as the odds are in my favor).

Bookmarked for future reference. Will watch with interest.

Hope it applies to other engineering skills.

Really?

You realise the only answer to this is an illegal one?


Sell drugs.
Rob people
Steal cars

All require contacts already in the 'business' and you risk your freedom and possibly your life.


Good luck though!

Learn to kick/bat/club a ball around better than 99.99% of other people!

Otherwise grow up and educate yourself in a career path that could facilitate this easily (Financial or Medical to name a pair!)

Practice football.

Then you can earn £250,000pw.

It's only kicking a ball around for an hour and a half.

Much easier than going to university for six years and getting £40,000 in debt.


Or, think of an idea like Facebook.

I'm 30 years old. I'm too old to be a competitive sportsman, I can't stand blood, disease or death and I'm unwilling to sell my sole and every waking hour as an investment banker.

Certainly, cobblers don't earn £5k a week.

You'd best get used to not having £5k a week disposable then!

I'm only a few years older than you, but I decided many moons back that to pay for the things I wanted I had to make my own success!

It's certainly possible to make that much (or many multiples more) as many friends on PH have done, however none of them do it without putting in far more effort, stress blood sweat and tears than any of the professions I've already listed!

So if you're not prepared to put in the effort, you cant expect to enjoy the rewards!

The easiest thing to do is live within your means and only want what you already have, and you'll feel just as rich as someone on £5k a week.

Although the OP sounds like he is trolling with his cash comment.
You clearly have done very well, how hard was it to make the sort of cash you have done for you? Any surprises / nerve wracking periods along the way? Presumably you had to leave a permie job and build your own business?

You need to forget about selling your time per hour, as there is always a limit to that, and the number of £125 per hour jobs out there are few

You could do something where you do the work once and get paid forever; like writing a book, create music etc

You could get into big ticket sales, work your way up and be successful. Get paid commission. I know a few doing £250-500k that way, but they are bringing in millions of profit per year to their company

You spend a lifetime working in companies and make to exec level, £250K plus benefits is just the start, depending on industry/company. I dont know any that have been lazy and coasted their way to the top though

or have an idea, start your own company , devote your life to that....

You sure know how to ask the wrong way!
