shite you'd be way ahead of a lot of people in their 30s with a job. They don't just have 50k lying around.

Get your real estate license and become a Realtor. 50K is more than enough to help pay the bills for 6-9 months until you can start bringing home serious commission checks. Next goal: start buying rental properties. Do this for 10-15 years and you'll be set for life man.

Robinhood doesn’t charge any commission or fees.

You can’t really day or swing trade in small amounts with a traditional broker because the transaction costs will eat any returns.

I started playing with it in 2018. Put $500 in my Robinhood account and picked three stocks that trade at a high volume.

Look at the history of a particular stock. Study it.
Stock ABC is currently $3. I see in the past 6 months it has never gone below $2.90 and never over $4.00 Buy 100 shares. It moves to $3.25. Sell it. You just made $25. If you used a traditional online broker they would’ve taken about 25% of your earnings. Eventually I’ll have enough in my account to buy 1000 shares at $3.00. A .25 move then would be 250 dollars.

At the end of the year I had just over $1100.

It’s just a hobby for me. This is not investing. It’s trading. I don’t hold anything for longer than a few days. You can only do 3 “day trades” a week though, so it’s a slow process.

If the OP wants to buy 15,000 shares at $3.00 and the price moves 25 cents in a day, week, month, etc that’s $3,750. Sell, then wait for it to get back to your buy target price and do it again. You need a stock that trades at high volume and moves quite a bit. Easy to find with a little research.

ETA your taxes at the end of the year can get a little complicated but not a big deal really

where do you live?

when my advertising business failed in 2010, I became an antique dealer and worked trade shows, made decent money and was off the grid (all cash)

if you are willing to bust your arse, there are lots of ways to make money

I’d get a construction job for some cash flow while I researched my next move.

Apply for unemployment benefits. Then find a new job.

It’s hard enough out there for a pimp, and your negative attitude isn’t helping.

Hell, if that’d work, you’d be making $45k a year.. you could actually live off that kind of income in some places.

Can't believe I made it to the end and no one said buy an HVAC company. Preferably one that is run by an old guy with soy boy children who think the work is beneath them.

Use the 50k for an SBA loan (so much easier to get them now thanks to Trump) make sure he's got at least 30-40% of the revenue from recurring service contracts and you're all set. Helps if you're a minority, too.

You must not be very good at math, just like everyone else who decided to "become an Uber driver" (turn their car into an unlicensed gypsy cab).

There's no way you'd make money driving a heavy expensive vehicle that costs more per mile to operate on a NET basis than you make per mile on a GROSS basis. This is why Uber and Lyft have never made money and their stocks are tanking immediately from the IPOs.
