1

Buy a car

Having your own car gives you the freedom to do whatever you want and go anywhere at any time. Most teenagers will settle for your typical s**tbag of a car, but you're not like most teenagers. This car shows your passion for speed, style, and unparalleled engineering. Just imagine the envy on your friends' faces as you pull up in your red Bugatti. You'll be able to drown out the haters with the sweet sounds of the 8.0L W16.

Invest in crypto

Everyone wants to get rich quick, but it seems like an impossible task. Crypto is the easiest way to become a billionaire in minutes, all you need is a computer and internet connection. Tbh I don't really know anything about cryptocurrencies, but you should buy my online course on how to become a crypto billionaire in five easy steps!

Get an American Express Platinum® card for an annual fee of $1450 USD and interest rates of 23.99% p.a.

Getting your first debit card is a critical step along the path to adulthood, so why not do it with style? The American Express Platinum® card is the perfect way to spend daddy's money on things you don't need! If you find the cost of a Platinum® card to be a little out of your budget, then you can always take out a loan from another bank to support your latest financial endeavours. Whatever you decide, remember that you gotta spend money to make money (please buy my crypto course).

4

Get work experience from a job or internship

Being a kid is great - no responsibilities, no work, no bills to pay - but now you're a teenager. If you're currently unemployed, consider getting a job or working as an intern. They are especially helpful in getting a head start on your career, and you're going to need the experience if you don't want to end up unemployed and living of centrelink for the rest of your life. I still remember my first job, I was a lead technical engineer at Lockheed Martin, the youngest on the team at age 15. It was a great place to start, and was beneficial in learning how to work in a real-world environment.

5

Join a sporting club

Sport is a great way to let off stress and to just relax. Conversely, competitive sporting leagues are even better at adding stress and letting off anger and frustration. Competitive Pickleball is my personal favourite, and a good way to socialise with others. Whatever you choose, make sure you have enough time in your busy crypto-investing schedule to commit to this (actually never mind, it's passive income)

6

Learn a new hobby

This one's pretty self explanatory. You may not find the right hobby immediately, so try different things. Some things you can do are:

  • Learn to play the guitar
  • Become a master at chess
  • Learn to rollerblade
  • Solve a Rubik's cube
  • Defuse a live bomb
The possibilities are endless, and the best part is that you can pick whatever interests you.

7

Join Hustler's University

Want to escape the 9-5 work schedule? Want to achieve financial freedom? Want to create your own wealth? At sixteen-years-old, you probably lack the skills and knowledge to pursue a journey of such difficulty. Hustler's university is the modern way to learn the stuff they don't teach you at school. I'm talking about breaking out of the matrix. Need I say more?

8

Get an apartment

By age 16, you are basically an adult. It's important to start thinking about moving out (if you haven't already), as you should realistically aim to be out of the house by age 18. You can use websites such as Bayut.com to browse available living situations in your free time. Personally I'd recommend looking at apartments, especially in Dubai, as they have great views. The Burj Khalifa is a fascinating skyscraper with impressive architecture - you'll be happy to know you live in a building of great design instead of a simple ground dwelling.

9

Get married

You're probably thinking, why should I get married? The real question is why not? Think about how cool it would be. The best part is you can marry anyone you want, its 2023 (depending on where you live). I'd suggest picking someone rich and marrying them. I'm not married, but if things ever go south, I guess you could always just divorce…

10

Start a business

This is the best way to make cash in your own way. You don't have to start the next Facebook, but you gotta start somewhere, right? I'd recommend starting a business within your school, as it can be really easy to grow an audience in the right industry. Just make sure to check with your school that it's okay first. I started my first business in high school in the form of an underground dwarf fight league. It taught me how to outsource, manage funds, and other critical business skills. Not to mention, there's good money involved.

11

Migrate to Canada

You've been living with your parents for sixteen years now, and I'm guessing that it's starting to get a bit boring. Some teenagers have lived in the same city/country their entire life. You might find it refreshing to migrate to a different country for a while. I've heard that Canada is a great place to live, but you have the opportunity to go to your dream place. As long as you've got that American Express Platinum® card, you have the freedom to go anywhere.

12

Volunteer at a Mental health institution

Helping out in the community is a great way to spend your time. Volunteering at a mental health clinic allows you to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals facing mental health challenges. By providing support, you can contribute to their well-being and witness their resilience. Whether it's offering a listening ear or assisting with tasks, your involvement can have a profound effect. Volunteering in this field fosters personal growth, empathy, and a deeper understanding of mental health. Remember to respect confidentiality, maintain boundaries, and seek guidance when needed. Together, we can create a supportive environment for hope and healing.

13

Spend time with your Family

A lot of the items on this list require effort and sacrifice. Sometimes you just need to step back and take a break! Consider watching the entire Fast and Furious franchise with your family or friends. Make some popcorn and get some drinks because you're gonna watch all of them in one sitting. If you have a dysfunctional family, Japan seems to have an entire industry for 'renting a family'. You might have to use a VPN though. Otherwise, you can watch my Crypto for Beginners course for only $129.99/month.

14

Teach English on the side (Can't be that difficult)

If you find yourself with a lot of free time, consider picking up teaching on the side. There are a lot of services which allow you to connect with students for mentorship. If you're up for the task, you could even try to get a job teaching English full time. Just remember to ensure a balance between work and your studies.

15

Learn how to Minimise your tax burden

Only inferior people pay taxes. Remember, you are wealthy, you are powerful, you have an American Express Platinum® card. Learning how to avoid your taxes (or even evade it if you're in the mood) can set you up for the future. This is a critical life skill which you'll be glad to have learnt early on, and you'll have a head start over other teenagers. Make sure you don't get caught!

16

Join a Cult

Sometimes life can be a bit boring. Joining a cult is the easiest way to spice up your life, and can offer a sense of belonging and moral guidance. By becoming part of a community that shares your beliefs, you can deepen your spirituality and find support from like-minded individuals. Engaging in cult practices and rituals allows you to explore profound questions, nurture your faith, and contribute to a community striving to make a positive impact. Approach your journey with an open mind, respect for diverse perspectives, and a balance between personal beliefs and critical thinking.
