Searching on passive income streams all lead none passive advice ie investing. Get on a time machine and go back to 2008 pee-recession when interest rates of 6% were common with inflation less than a third of that. If you had a million to invest then you could return ?60k gross, and after reinvesting some of it to account for that and healthy 40k gross. Not sure where you get the time machine from. Otherwise peer to peer lending which has its pros and cons.

Sadly armoured car blagging isn't possible these days due to tracking technology and exploding dye security boxes


You could try extortion or loan sharking both slightly dodgy or the protection racket had a few vacancies in the area


Failing that set up as a local council and charge people to park on their own streets (shocking I know but good Money) then take it further and charge for taking away their garden waste which they have already paid for in their council tax, and fine anyone who's mad enough to put anything in the wrong bin, whistle too loudly or breath in fresh air 😉


Sadly getting paid to be on Jeremy Kyle has been taken out of the equation (just think of all those kids who will never know who their true father is 🤔)


Failing that, as pointed out earlier, go honest and do a decent days work


PS I think there are a few corners left locally where you can shake your booty to advertise the oldest profession !

The problem with working and most jobs is they are constrained in your earning potential by finite salary bands, bonus structure etc. 1 unit of effort in will only ever return 1 to 2x back in reward. Things get interesting for people who learn to scale themselves. Or who build some kind of product once and sell it N times. When you have that leverage you start making money without investing or conventional work. It can take on ab life of its own. Elton John does this. So does Jeff Bezos. The guy who started and scaled Franco Manca. Most people dont want to take the risk so salaried work prevails.

The link says "X offers a relatively low House Edge of 1%. This makes it a bit easier for players to make money."


Which means that in the long run on average you will lose 1% of each stake. Probably less than on a fixed-odds machine in a bookies, but still enough to enable the machine provider to be the one who profits in the long run.


Then add in the currency risk. Cryptocurrencies aren't the most stable. Currency converters presumably take a cut too.


Tell us about yourself, harryjosh. Are you one of the potential suicides, once they've lost everything and have a large card bill as well? Or maybe a gaming provider or one of their stooges? I think perhaps the latter.

    • But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.
    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
