    Love the "Password Decryption" screen-shot. In terms of real estate investment don't waste time buying and flipping properties. Buy and rent them out (be an owner, not a seller). The return on investment is better, lower taxes and you have that asset to buy more and more. If the housing market drops temporarily, who cares? You have an income because people still need somewhere to live.

      @@supergiz2009 Find a nice market for your talent, for instance you could try shopify apps,
      I think there is a python library for it. Don't make anything too complicated, make small useable features and publish ASAP then try and grow your features with merchant feedback.
      I have 5 apps which adds important features to merchants (3 apps are only targeted specifically to dutch merchants, which is great because no-one else made them yet, 2 are internationally used)
      go through the forums and look for requests that a lot of merchants look for.

    7:13 "A job has always been a way to sustain myself and pay some rent while I focus on my true job." I've been following TechLead for some time and this is probably the best advice to date. "The standard 9 to 5 is there to help de-risk the situation for you...provide a little stability, make life a little smoother."
    This is really the key. Nothing wrong with a 9 to 5; it provides some stabile income. But never give it your full attention; corporations have zero loyalty and will not hesitate to lay you off if/when their profits/earnings drop in the next recession. For this reason, your tenure at any corporation is always tenuous and transient. Focus instead on a recurring and stable side business, which has the potential to scale more than any regular salaried job. I'm not hating on corporations; they're just looking out for the company's best interest. But it would be a serious mistake to delude yourself into thinking your 9 to 5 is stable, when in actuality there is significantly more variability and uncertainty in a salaried job.
