I woke up this morning to an extra $20.
Probably not a lot by many people’s standards, but I thought it was cool.

I hit the jackpot for 50 million. Went to go cash it out but then I woke up…
10 bucks, tooth fairy, 1997

Your parents were minted.
This was pretty recent for me.
The election ended and within a day or two after, I woke up and saw that my investments had gone up by around 7-9K.

What you invest in?

My good investments (in no particular order) have been:
My investments that have been good and bad at times:
My bad investments:
And to note, I don’t have a lot in VONG because I haven’t researched it much. I just had leftovers to put in it from other investments executing at different prices.
I’ve been in all of these except VONG for years.
My worst investments have been investing in single stocks instead of diversifying. TSLA has been bad a lot, so it fluctuates a lot. I think it is up because of Elon becoming part of Trump’s team for his Department of Government Efficiency.
I am aware that some things I’ve picked overlap each other. I don’t really care because I feel diversified enough in even one ETF.
The stuff you probably read from me isn’t too special. Most people in investing are in for “predicting” the “next big thing”, “crypto”, “penny stocks”, etc., but I’m just in for the long, consistent run.
Around $20k with crypto.
I went for a coffee today and by the time I finished it, I was up $2k. Not asleep though.
I started by making just $1, so you’re doing well.

Get a job. Run some side hustles. Invest in crypto and index funds. Do that for 10-20 years. That’s all I did. Nothing special.
I write a book about my side hustles… https://old.reddit.com/user/sidehustle2025/comments/1ddi01x/i_made_750000_from_my_side_hustles_and_decide_to/

It’s not a Google response. If you have two jobs, that’s good. Invest as much as you can. It will pay off big time.
It’s solid advice but most remain poor because they don’t want real advice.
About $400. I uploaded some music for an audio project I didn’t end up using to Spotify so it wouldn’t rot away on my hard drive. I guess technically I made it over about a month’s time, but I had forgotten about it and checked it to find that some of my music had over 100k plays. I only ever made 2 posts about it in TikTok, and since I wasn’t making it for this purpose, the profit has been about 95% passive.

The most? Around $100k realized profit in one night, but that was a while ago.
Lol. These answers are putting my $20 to shame.
A bit above $1 million. But it stayed in my dream. All gone when I woke up.
Someone bought a pair of boots off my eBay for $160.
About $2000, but that was when I was a talented person in a niche market. Then everybody copied what I was doing and I’m lucky to wake up to $100 now for the same thing.

Was this a digital good?
@MegWhitgal
It was, think selling things like SVGs and tools for creatives. Damn I miss the old days.
