Why can't I achieve financial freedom?
In 2016 I made a decision to become the best version of myself, what I mean financially, physically and spiritually.
I have sought after the truth to our reason of creation for a very long time and every step I take, I feel like I'm getting closer. Well atleast I've abandoned Sectarian Islam and stopped believing in all the crap I've been fed since I was young. I feel my eyes have opened up.
I used to be a very weak individual, always bullied in school and pretty much everywhere. I've trained hard and worked on my confidence, and now I'm in better shape than I ever was. I lift crazy heavy weights at the gym, I can do one arm pull-ups and one arm push-ups. AND I'm 6'3" so it's alot harder!
I've also worked on my communication with women, something I was always terrible at! I couldn't maintain eye contact or complete proper sentences. Now its easy as cake for me, I can even approach a girl I think is cute walking in the street when most guys wouldn't even have the guts to do it.
One problem in my life is my fianncial situation and career. I know it's all meaningless once we die but I still want to live a life without all the drawbacks of being poor. No matter what I do I can't seem to get my life on track, I'm terrible at interviews and that's if I get them. I absolutely hate working for other people and corporations but there is a desire and will inside me to succeed. I can't seem to do it, nothing is working, I have two post secondary degrees and I believe I'm actually quite smart but this corrupt world won't give me a chance.
I want to also open my own business but I really don't have the money to do it or the idea for one. I've resorted to faking my resume but whenever I get an interview call I try to avoid or make up an excuse not to go.
Im not bragging in the first paragraphs but I'm trying to show that I'm a very determined person and I never give up...No matter what! I don't want to be a millionaire but I want to have enough money to eat well and sleep in a nice place, not asking for much.
I strongly believe this is due to not having control, what I mean is that I control my diet, my conversations, my workouts, my everything except financial situation where there is a tonne of outside factors that determine that. I feel stuck with no clue what to do, I'm running out of money and I even got fired from my shitty restaurant/bar job because of my "availability", ya I won't work on weekends.
I've read Think and Grow Rich, watched alot of videos on youtube on how to make money and be successful. I've even resorted to sports betting and made decent money but it's not stable and sometimes I lose alot. I have no clue what to do anymore, go back to school or just work dead end jobs till I die or what exactly. It's very stressful, I feel like a complete failure in the eyes of my my parents and I hate seeing myself like this, deep down I know I can do soooo much. I have no limits and I believe it just as much as I believe 1+1=2. But its getting me no where
Well it is the random rant section of the forum. Any successful people here care to share some advice, please none of that generic stuff I can find on forbes or other popular websites. What is the secret?

Hello Rekkd,
You can rant on as much as you like here.
But I wonder why you would like to focus on getting rich, having a normal worker job which nets you enough to get by would suffice. Focusing too much on a career absorbs much of the time which is valuable for you in developing your mind.
The issue is usually how much expenses you have and the more of a consumer you are the more income you require. If you are frugal and think economically you can live well on a relatively low income and little effort from your side.
My advice if you like to get rich is to think like a businessman and be mindful of expenses and gain profit where you can. Live your private life as if your home and that realm was a business venture. Hold a business ledger for your private finances.
Start making investments, invest in something which is relatively safe to net you some income and do not bet everything on one card. Do not fret at small income numbers but instead see the steady stream of small numbers ticking in and keep a ledger. You do not need a registered company to gradually start as a businessman.
Advice number two is not to get a wife and children before you have surplus money to finance them with the returns. Remember you must see everything including your family as financial instruments. If I did not have a family I would personally be relatively rich today with a million or so on my account, because my family has depleted my savings many times over the past 8 years. I have made calculations I would have at least a one hundred grand in dollars if it was gatherings alone and that is not counting the returns I would have if I invested that money collected.
If you inherit money or assets from a relative, save that money instead of buying things.
Point should be made one could become rich without much effort if they are frugal and think like businessmen and not like the people who fall for the businessmen and their ventures. Either you earn money or they, but a businessman must be the winner in the deal.
Becoming rich is not very hard, but you must not be afraid in elbowing your way forth in life and you must like I said have an outlined budget and think like a businessman.
Personally I live like a businessman only in seeking not to have real businessmen gaining money on me and I am as frugal as I can. I see no reason being rich and having a career in that area.

A problem with this is you would not want to activate the bodily instinctive desires. Dominating or defeating desire is easy to acquire thinking like a businessman (kill). It is easy to think of dubious exploitative methods (steal). It is easy to exaggerate the truth (carry false testimony).
There are dangers lurking in the lifestyle and it is easy to succumb to them.

Thank you Immanuel for the advice. Honestly I have given up on the idea of marriage, after seeing the true nature of women I know they cannot be trusted. One second a woman loves you and the next the switch flips and acts like she never knew you.
Any sign of weakness and they capitalize on it or might start looking elsewhere. I don't hate women, I like them alot but I wouldn't want to marry one from what I've learned from my experiences. Unless she's an 18-20 year old virgin from a small town that's not corrupted by social media, feminism, corporations, etc... but in this day and age, it's not as easy anymore.
Anyways your first point, I don't have much money on me right now but I'm willing to invest. What would be your suggestion for small and safe investments? I'm giving up on the idea of working for someone else. I also thought about trading or buying stocks but I don't have much money to start and I'm not knowledgeable enough that risking what little I have would be stupid.
Lets say I can start with exactly 1000-2000 dollars now, if you were in my place what would you do?

Hello, Thank you Immanuel for the advice. Honestly I have given up on the idea of marriage, after seeing the true nature of women I know they cannot be trusted. One second a woman loves you and the next the switch flips and acts like she never knew you. Any sign of weakness and they capitalize on it or might start looking elsewhere. I don't hate women, I like them alot but I wouldn't want to marry one from what I've learned from my experiences. Unless she's an 18-20 year old virgin from a small town that's not corrupted by social media, feminism, corporations, etc... but in this day and age, it's not as easy anymore. I think you are prejudiced by judging all women the same. Additionally, what you are saying is true for either gender and it does not have to do with the sex but the human nature in general. But true is that good (developed) people are not exactly growing on trees. Worth knowing is that the people who are still on Earth are quite late off and it is beginning to become quite late for ascension at this time and the world has been in motion for a fairly long time and so there are many broken souls as a result. For the same reason I would urge anyone to maximize their efforts to deepen their spiritual integrity before it is too late. Because the test is so ridiculously hard and the delusion so heavy, in this time the true nature of the universe is supposed to become "black on white", as to reap the final harvest of potential souls. This is the kind of prophecy Quran is to reveal in this time. When everything is revealed then there is no more to add and there will be a brief waiting-for-response period before the universe is eventually going to be retracted (the so-called apocalypse prophesied in many religions). After that, based on hypotheses built on a high level of logic involved, there will be a rinse and repeat scenario and there will just as before be a new cycle of universe with the previous harvest added to the "crew" of angels. All "God" in essence exists for is to develop, and for development you need good material. Creation with its evolutionary cycle in itself is just a metaphor of how "God" works. That is the cold but plain truth. Bearing that in mind, this world and its events mean basically nothing at whole, it is insignificant, but one should use the world to have a tool in order to develop. However, one should never become occupied with what happens around them. It may be absolutely cynical and cold to say, but most people you know around you will never be with you in the future and emotional attachment will only hurt your soul. That does absolutely not mean you should not care about people because you should, but it should be an emotionally detached care, alike you would portray a really wise and intelligent god. The one who put all of this in motion had development in mind and so care is the best way to promote it. Also your deeds reveal the status of your development. Obviously a developed person is not a sociopath/psychopath. Anyways your first point, I don't have much money on me right now but I'm willing to invest. What would be your suggestion for small and safe investments? I'm giving up on the idea of working for someone else. I also thought about trading or buying stocks but I don't have much money to start and I'm not knowledgeable enough that risking what little I have would be stupid. Lets say I can start with exactly 1000-2000 dollars now, if you were in my place what would you do? If you have any technical skills you could buy used cars with minor defects, repair them and then resell them at a higher price. This is anyways an idea I have had for own business ventures. You could trade the car parts themselves, which may be more lucrative than the car itself, but that would require you to have some sort of storage building. However, you could specialize in a particular brand and models and then use your home or garage to start a minor scale operations. You could buy used items overall cheaply on the Net and resell them at a higher price. Sadly just like with the above suggestion, it may require you to have a storage and match market highs and lows. It is also called a junk dealer. But you should not be surprised over how much people pay for things you consider junk. Not sure how it is where you live, but here loose car parts are often worth more than the car itself and a lot of people buy used parts because the car manufacturers and also many pirated parts companies charge an awful lot of money for new ones. If you concentrate on both repairing and stockpiling used parts for a particular brand/model you would be most economically efficient. The above is obviously true if you have hands for machines. Knowing what defects a car has and what kind of car is worth buying to repair can be tricky. With a little logic and knowledge of cars, and you can do it. Personally I would focus on a car with rust on it which has not become very bad and then just focus on repairing that, and corrosion lowers the value of a car incredibly much even with quite little rust on it and I find focusing on just repairing the steel and paint to be much quicker and easier than diagnosing a faulty engine for errors. I myself bought a low-mile Volvo V40 with heavy corrosion around back of the front wheels, dissembled the whole body of steel there and repaired the rust by replacing the disintegrated steel with fiberglass putty, ground it a little and then added on with new paint and that only takes 1-2 days and the value of the car bumped up perhaps 50% just by not noticing any corrosion and that the car had very few miles in the baggage. Afterwards, the part which was heavily corroded looks like there never was any rust there despite that the section of steel is made of fiberglass now. And it is not trickery either because the repair did remove the rust, prevent further corrosion and restored functionality (protect from water on the steel). The car itself runs as if it is new while it is 20 years old. Point is, there is always money to earn if you find out what people are willing to pay for. Selling and buying shares is not as hard as people imagine, but it takes some research. I have made several thousands by placing funds into the stock market, buying shares which were highly probable that they were going to rise over time. It is generally better to avoid the high risk shares. Where I live, the construction and housing sector is thriving at the moment, so placing money into real estate companies is relatively safe for the time being and the gain is high. While having money in the stock market, it is advisable to monitor the market closely and put up warnings about a decreasing value and also be quick to respond at news which would affect shares like those you have such as those from the company itself. For example, a company that is steaming on steadily, getting many orders and showing aspiration, tends to be a safe company to invest in and unlikely to suddenly "crash dive". If the company starts to show any signs of weakness you can just sell off the shares early. Companies which invest heavily can do so foolishly or simply desperately to survive and it is not always a good sign to buy. If a company uses a lot of money on investments but the orders are still not coming, the company is not safe. Groundbreaking news from companies such as a patented technological invention which has obvious future promises, is a good investment and companies which develop them are often small companies not worth much at all when they do it and their market value can skyrocket at the news. A vigilant stock trader can pick that up early and earn huge amounts of money. By the way, if you are poor, cheap company shares are always better than buying from the big companies, because you can afford more shares and when there is movement on the market it will affect your money more. Stock trading yields more money than saving them at the bank for interest. Compared to interest at the bank, my first suggestion of buying an old car and repair it would give better returns, or any other such venture. Be well Qarael Amenuel

Some (mostly religious) people may argue it is unethical or "unrighteous" to invest in the stock market, but "God" is without emotion and not using an already corrupt system is not going to make it better (or worse) and only you lose by not doing it, unless you can overthrow the government and the system. Those who rule our society use the monetary system to gain the upper hand and not getting a share but instead being robbed only is actually foolish unless you let it become your obsession.
The only way to not be the victim of our societies is to not borrow money and not buying items at an usurious rate, and not joining the consumer lifestyle propelled by the media and commerce which promotes indulgences of every kind. They wish to create an image that owning an item or subscribing to a service is only natural and it is obvious to possess it. Instead they are draining your bank account for vanity you are taught you need. Many times, brand items are just a marketed scam and the items sold are no better or even worse than a generic item. I have even heard about marketing experts who expose themselves that they say they only need a good marketing campaign and an otherwise generic item branded with their brand can sell as fast as butter smelts in the sun. The market creates an illusion that you need it. Boycott trends, that is human garbage at its worst, and I can see the "sheepness" in people who adhere to them.

How Jesus reacted was so 2000 years ago and we can make money in ways that were not possible back then. Flimsy and corrupt the system we have might be, but not taking advantage of glitches which the tycoons use is not going to remove the system. The system in which we live today is quite ridiculous, but the only difference in not investing in the monetary stock market is that you have to work more for people who you may see as parasites.
From my point of view, the act of trading for goods including with monetary funds in combination with greed is one of the roots of all evil. And men see pieces of land as property they own and thus not anyone can cultivate the land and eat from its ripe crops and so trading becomes a necessity because people are supposed to pay for something no one has the right to own personally except they claim the land for their own. So behind the evil of trading is the claim of property, possession. And that has to do with the prime instinct of "Self-preservation including own kin". If we had the perfect godly society, there would be no money, no property and hence no trade, we would just hand the harvested crop from our backyard to our neighbors because they need it. Now there is work included in farming, but if the people living in the community distribute the work evenly there is still no need for trading.
I can understand people need their privacy of a home with exterior walls, but still one does not need to regard their home as their property but a tool of the community to fulfill its use.
In essence this is communism, and no matter how bad a reputation communism has the underlying concept is more or less perfect and godly. It is the traits of man which makes the system impossible, that people seek property and more for themselves. No society on Earth has truthfully implemented communism in their community, but their claim has just been a deception or it was hijacked or poorly and ignorantly implemented. If someone had implemented communism fully their society would be like a paradise. But a communism does not work if man retains their instincts, it is hopeless to try. Red China or Russia or Cuba are and have always been corrupt dictatorships throughout all years with communism as a charade.
Any prophet of old would salute the concept of communism as a wonderful idea, but they would agree that the nature of man would make its implementation impossible.
But the concept of communism builds on the idea that the community collectively owns all instrumentation and there is no private property or companies and because there is no property there is also no money in the system but the material is distributed according to the need. So communism = No property & No money, and all resources are split evenly across the entire community. The only real difference between communism and anarchy is that anarchy has no one in charge and it works even worse than communism due to the instinct of man. The best working communism would be an absolute democracy where each voice counted equally and the leaders are elected with a safe constitution which cannot be altered. The only thing which could overthrow it would be people gullibly being convinced to stop believing in their system.
However, people will not easily surrender their possessions, so people will fight communism into their deaths, and most people are not aware of what communism even is and only look at miserable charades which deceived people they had implemented communism while they had not, and only an excuse forming a dictatorship.
But easy changes cause a society to be a communism, just remove property and money and you have a communism. Anything beyond that is due to the instinct of man. We have anything besides communism due to the instinct of man. Hierarchy is wrong, but people are of varying mental superiority and therefore leaders are necessary in a community and anarchy is not viable therefore. Having leaders must not imply hierarchy and bad hierarchy is when the hierarchy is driven by instinct. No matter how little we wish to accept it, some people are more mentally developed than others and each person is not equal in their stage of development. And you would not wisely place an inferior person to lead a more superior person and the inferior person could benefit from the guidance (leadership) of the superior person, so hence a leader is best. A leader is supposed to be a guide and that is what a leader is there for. The very word lead means to show/point the way or even go with along the way and leader is based on that word. It is when a leader begins to listen to instinctive impulses and look for such as hierarchy, materialism, vanity, absorption, self-preservation, greed, promiscuity/sexual desire, bending the truth and being jealous, he/she is no longer a good leader. A leader is equal to a guide, purely from the word's point of view. A leader is supposed to show the way, not take place.
Same is the misconceived Semitic word Maleka (Miim-Lam-Kaf), it basically means to "send towards", "manage" and the word is literally the same as the English leader. To be a Malik is a job, not an honor title you have just because. You can see it as being at the helm of a ship while being a captain and steering towards a course which you through logic and reason know is the best direction. This you do because it is the best for your community aboard your ship, as your skill as a sailor is making you the best leader.
Those who say "God's system is anarchy" are ignorant and not even the 'High Community' works that way or else there would not be Maleika being developed here. There will always be mentally superior beings, even if it is a collective of them beings (Allahem) and they work in unity together as leaders. This is why your skill as a non-selfish leader in this world is essential for your qualification to the 'High Community'. You are basically supposed to become an ethereal leader later. But leader is not the same as primitive hierarchy where the leader has a better position but the leader is leader because of mental supremacy.
For example, a leader is someone like me on this forum. I am a leader and I am a leader because I help guiding you forward. I do not otherwise interfere whatsoever in your life and you can take the course of action you like yourself if you so wish. I do not say you will burn eternally in a (non-existent) Hell if you do not follow me as the one I am nor say that you cannot manage on your own if you just think like me in that you have to be sound and mentally grow. I am supposed to lead you to be a leader yourself if you require it. The best case is that you can perfectly lead yourself without my guidance, because I wish not to be your daddy holding your hand forever anyway. Perhaps you are ready to lead yourself perfectly without my help too, but I may still have some advice which may aid you and I do verily sit on a treasure of knowledge through Quran which waits to be proclaimed.
But away with religious doctrines and worship, and accompanying mind-bending practices, and focus on what is important which is the development and progress of your mind. A Paganism (including Islam) is absolutely detrimental to the subject because all focus is drawn away from it while in truth it is what is important. Who you are and what you can become is the most important thing you can reflect upon here and now.
