How to make money is a question I have asked many, many times.  When I was young, I was fascinated with the shininess of the coins reflecting the sunlight.  To me, that was money.  I wanted to know how to make money.

They only knew that to work hard at low paying factory job was the answer to how to make money.  I believed that too.  I was young.  At least I knew that an answer to how to make money: Work hard.  I forgive them now.  They never had a chance to receive an education.  They did make enough money to support us.

 

When we were a bit older, we asked our teachers how to make money.  Our teachers were smarter.  Our teachers suggested many ways to make money.  Basically the answers fell into the categories of working, saving and investing.

 

That was before the Internet era.  Nobody knew that you could make much more money, and much easier money with computer and Internet.
