Please no bad words.

I have a sizable number of investments. Every month I make about 400k from my investments. I also invested in crypto. The market has been crazy these past weeks, but even with the recession I have about $100k. But I have not cashed out. I don't want to. I want to keep it till year's end, when it may be bigger or maybe zero. who knows.
Then I have my job, which isn't bad, which has earned me all of this. But I'm getting tired of it already and I want to quit. Hoping to live on the 400k I make every month from my investments and a possible larger payout from crypto by the end of the year. What do you think?

Just a few words of advice.
Please i would like to know more about Cryptocurrency. I really wanna invest into it but dont know anything about it for now. Thanks

[b][/b][i][/i]Don't mind all these dudes here making it look like if you quit you go broke and suffer. The problem with us Africans, blacks especially is unsatisfaction, discontentment, self-centredness, greed, etc. And not knowing our gauge level. Therefore making ourselves work till we wear out because we want to guarantee our future financially. And not knowing that we can do times ten for ourselves what we are currently doing for our employers. The fear of the unknown in us is a weakness and is killing us. Just look at the richest people on earth, if they were working for anybody they couldn't had made monies like that.

Put your priorities right, if you know you have what it takes you to run your show now just don't waste that time yet. Employers and business owners are the richest people so far. Create your business, manage it and you will be surprised the level it will reach in no time. Most people are working for others because they don't have the capital or finance to start up their businesses. Nobody wants to labour forever.

Establish yourself and work it out. If you don't know how or you are afraid, you can still overcome all that by learning them.

Let me dive into my affair here.

I have N300k like this, and am thinking of what I can start up and quit my N70k salary job. And am yet to arrive at a conclusion as the money won't be enough to start up anything especially as I may rent a shop and trade in it. My brother, if there's a way you resign and fix me there to work and save that kind of money towards my business...hmm hmm!! I will like it o. Lol.

Don't let anybody feed you with fear that you have not made much money and comparing your savings with those of Dangotes, Zuckerbergs and so on. The fact is that you can't achieve what those people have achieved if you continue working for too long and not knowing when to stop and start managing yours.

N.B. kindly advise me on what business, investment, cryptocurrency(not perturbed about prices dropping sharply) I can engage in with N300k and I will make profit either working or quitting my N70k job.

Thank you.

Obviously, you don't think big at all

People are making millions in a day and you are there ranting bunkum

Take 100k, play lazio win, play anderlecht win, play Lyon women win on bet9ja today

You'll be making nothing less than 120k in profit

Do something like that in a week and you'll be making nothing less than 700k in a week!!!

And the op is even talking about 400k a month!

People are making major money on daily basis

If you're not, it's probably because you lack the right information

If you want to make it big; then you've got to start thinking big

100k to stake.
What if you loose. lol

Then you lose!

The painful truth is that staking is not for everybody

It is a major business strictly for the Big Boys

To these Big Boys 100k is no big deal

These guys can even stake 1 mil on such a game and go home today with 1.2 million in profits!!!

But if you don't have much staking power, you can also start low and build up your staking power.

All you need is the right information... plus some good luck, of course wink

let me tell you the truth, you are a lazy person, just 400k a month!, do you own a house, even that $100k in crypto is not a guarantee, it may disapper the next miniute, guy focus, by the time you have $1 million then we can advice you on what to do not come, so come back when you do have $1m
Re: I Want To Quit My Job And Live On My Savings by dfav: 8:38am On Feb 05, 2018
if u re really making 400K per mth; then u re a big boy in terms of Nigeria working class.

dont mind all these big boys jobless youth saying its a small money...

over 80% of Nigerian workers earn less than that per mth. ( both Public & Private)

if u re really sure that u make 400k per mth not i may make or i can make...

then resign, relocate to an area or state that have very low cost of living but with good infasturcture like electricity/road/security etc ( Lagos is a big SCAM.. full of husrtling ) .

mine is to make 300k per mth, then i resign and face my business full time...

Where did you see the 400k $?

He only mentioned 100k $ in crypto

When he mentioned 400k in investments, commonsense should have told you he meant in naira unless otherwise stated.

But then again, commonsense is not so common tongue wink

That's a big gamble as crypto is likely to enter into multi years of ranging. Take a cue from gold (parabolic rise followed by irrational exuberance, and now ranging). The sad part is that no matter how frugal you are, your fund cannot sustain you. You will be surprised at how many people hate their jobs but still have to do it. If Bill Gates, Dangote, Zuckerberg still wake up to go to work, I don't see why you shouldn't. Money is a limited resource.

By the way, crypto is played out. It will die a natural death. Smart money moved funds out in Nov/December. Retail investors will be left holding the bag. History has ways of repeating itself. Crypto is a fad and a gamble. It is never an investment. Like MMM, I expect the noise about crypto to die this year. In less than a month, it went from $10k to $19k. In less than a month, it went from $19k to $7.5k. I feel sorry for retailers.

My friend, my candid advise is please quit that job and face your investment squarely. It will grow higher in no time and you will come back here singing song of praises. As for Crypto, it will bounce back and come to stay, its wallstreet guys creating FUD to buy more coins and later pump and dump it.
Startingup is always the issue but since you have taken that bold step, then the sky should be your limit.
Lastly, if you are still single, please and please go and marry because it will open your mind and brain to see more opportunities as regard investments.

This is a valid advise.

If you are unhappy with your job, please quit.

About Cryptoprofits, remember paper profit is not real until you have cashed out. I would recomend cashing out some of your cryptos and starting something to engage yourself in. Remember, work is not just for money but for living. You won't know this until you quit and get depressed just because there's nothing to do.
