I know we all like money. Money buys security, toys and freedom. This board has an incredible range of knowledge and experience, and I thought it would be cool if we all share the things we've collectively done to make money in the past, and ideas for the future. I've always been a big believer in doing things that you know and love, and I'm sure most of you are the same. So, let's share some ideas, Pelican brothers and sisters!

No need for obvious things, like getting a degree, working hard at your job, buying stocks, bonds, IRAs etc. Those are all obvious ways to slowly chip away at attaining a nest egg. I'd rather hear interesting things related to hobbies, fresh ideas, the changing world, etc.

On board?

Personally, I know a few things well: real estate, traveling, motorcycles, tech.

I've created a real estate-based online business that has been my bread and butter for many years. I plan on keeping that going as long as I can. Its made me a lot of money.

I also own rental properties. In the long run, I have faith that they'll return a good return on my investment, but they are a real pain in the a$$.

The traveling thing has only cost me money. Blah.

I'm working on some new motorcycle-related mobile apps that I believe will be lucrative. Time will tell.

I spend a good chunk of $$$ each year on acquiring new motorcycles. These are collectibles from the 80's and 80's and are mostly grey market, hard to find models. They've done quite well... I see somewhere around 20% a year in solid appreciation on my collection.

Let's hear some other ideas!
