How are people getting rich? - I start my senior year oh highschool on monday. After working full time this summer at my first “real” job, i realize I can’t work 40 hour weeks the rest of my life. I’ve always wanted to “start my own business” or just be my own boss, but i’m getting closer to being an adult and I have no direction. I have most of the money I made saved, but how do i turn this into more. I see these 16-35 year olds talking about how they make 10k a month drop-shipping, and new millionaire gurus popping up every week, people tell me to go into day trading, which i did for a little bit, but not as profitable because of the risk. I’m going to continue to work though out school, but I don’t want that to be my only source of income. For the people who did figure out what to do at a young age to start making good money, what did you do? how did you spend your money, and what are the best industries to look into. Real estate? I’m only 17 now, but im still so determined to be successful

Edit: Thank you guys for all the replys, i’m just not getting to read them since i just got off work, lol. But I think i confused some people. I am willing to work many hours a week, I worked overtime when I could at my current job. What I meant about my working 40 hours a week statement. I meant getting stuck in the 9-5 loop most people are in. Do the same thing their whole life. The “American Dream” ya know. nothing is wrong with that lifestyle but that’s not how I want to live. I am willing to work, I just can’t justify giving all my time to a company that isn’t going to help me grow. I want to make money on my own
