In the end, I'll just have to do it steadily.
That's the most repeatable and reliable way to save up a steady stream of labor income, and once I have a sum of money, buy high-dividend stocks and real estate for income gains.
If I mess around in the world of zero-sum games, I may not have anything left in hand.
If that's the case, I'd probably be able to get to my destination faster if I didn't do anything unnecessary and took the seemingly circuitous but easy to understand path.
That's what I'm thinking about as a steady plan.
