The Career of a businessman.

A kid with a dream.

You are a kid, and you've been wanting a skateboard for a long time, but you can never gather enough money to buy it. You have no money since you keep buying candy and games for your console. Even if you love candy and video games, you decided that you waited around for long enough to get yourself a skateboard. You are now faced by two choices. One, you stop buying candy and video games, and you organise a lemonade stand where you plan to make enough money to buy yourself a brand-new skateboard. The second choice is you stick to your habits, and you continue buying candy and video games endlessly.

Choice 1 : You stop buying candy and video games, and you organise a lemonade stand.

Choice 2 : You stick to your old habits and continue buying candy and video games.

You finally gathered up enough money to buy yourself a shiny new skateboard. You have your fun with it but as you get older you develop new tastes, so with the skills you learned by doing your lemonade stand you get to sell your skateboard for $100. You want to do something with your money, so you have two choices. One, you invest your money in the stock market in an ETF that averages around 8% every year. Your second choice is to invest it into Crypt currencies.

Choice 1 : You invest into the stock market.

Choice 2 : You invest in crypt currencies.

A fat unhealthy kid.

You continued buying candy and video games with your pocket money. This led you into taking a lot of weight. Your parents think you are too fat and useless, so they confiscate your video games and hide all of your candies. After one month of thinking, you came to realise that you should've saved up to buy that skateboard, which could help you lose some weight. You decide to organise that lemonade stand like you've been wanting to do and stop buying candy and video games.

Choice 1 : Organise a lemonade stand and save up your money.

Look at how fat you are!

You invested in the stock market.

You invested in the stock market and five years later your investment is now worth around $1000. You are the only one out of your friends not to own a car you are very jealous.
