A lot of people these days like to sit around doing nothing and act surprised that they’re poor. They act like making a profit in this world is hopeless. I say that’s ridiculous. Opportunities are present everywhere. Yes, even at your local 7-Eleven.
No, I don’t mean by buying lottery tickets, those are for chumps. I also don’t mean those video poker games now at every gas station because those are for chumps who like bright lights. The real opportunity is right outside the store, where you can find all your local high schoolers in need of someone to buy them beer.
Children between thirteen and twenty are the highest demographic with disposable income in this country. A smart investor would look at that data and figure out what they need, but don’t have immediate access to. Turns out you, a sad sack who has had no real contribution to society so far, have actually aged into a highly monetizable asset: being old.
What, did you think your knowledge of thirty-year-old Simpsons quotes would get you this kind of money? Or your college degree in something now replaced by AI? Quit living in a fantasy and focus on the acne-faces who grew up on Minions who are in desperate need of getting drunk on their parents’ dime.
This isn’t limited to one 7-Eleven or even just the franchise itself. Everywhere you look, you can find a teenager who would gladly ask you if this $20 is enough for you to get them a six-pack of PBR tall boys. Be sure to act impressed that they know what PBR is.
With this kind of money going towards your retirement account, you’ll no longer have the fear of working well into your seventies. If you are really lucky, you can even drink with them in the alley. You can blow their mind with stories of what it was like being alive when the Iraq War was happening. Either way, your portfolio is guaranteed to increase through a simple life hack that only requires fifteen minutes of your time.
Remember, this does not have to be limited to beer. Be sure to ask your local kids if they are interested in trying cigarettes as well!
