Having nothing and being young is actually an interesting spot. Any small win can significantly improve your life and give you the appetite for more. As a broke student, I was constantly looking for small “glitches” to exploit. In industries like banking or sports betting, new companies often offer absurd incentives to gain market share. In France, an online bank used to pay €160–240 per referral if someone opened an account. First I did it for myself. Then I offered to do it for friends and family for a 50% cut (people are lazy so they won't do themselves). That’s how I made my first €2k. After that, I moved on to sports betting signup bonuses and managing an Airbnb property.
