what is the best thing to invest in so we can get money back over what we made and then don't have to turk to pay rent? all I can see is

1. stock market - too risky but can make a lot
2. cd's - not risky but would pay basically nothing

isn't there something else that is better? and not have to wait for 30 years to get it.

If you owe any personal debt; car loan, credit cards, personal loans etc. invest in paying them off. You'll get the money back many times over rather quickly.

Skills and your career?

I went camping once and my tent was blown over by a storm so we had to pack up and go stay in a cabin and then there was a tornado.

The End.

We are currently renovating and fixing up a vintage camper that we got for dirt cheap. Bought some fabric today to replace the old ugly fabric. Fixed the water leaks. I'm now actually getting excited to finish it so we can go camping.

you're talking about 'retirement' basically

if you had 100k in ATT i think you'd get about 5k/y in dividends

so this is why no one ever retires these days

I think I'm not understanding your question.
Getting your money to work for you is all well and good, but you seem to be looking for a very large % of interest, right?

If your portfolio is diverse enough and you're in for the long term, the stock market actually isn't that risky. But you have to have a diverse portfolio, likely with a decent balance of mutual funds.

I had five bitcoins and I think I sold them for a cool $8 years and years ago

Wish I would have invested in them when they were a few dollars each like 5-7 years ago

naw, people just don't even try to learn about money management and borrow/spend too much.

When I started my career, you couldn't even get a credit card unless you were well off. We didn't have debt because when we made large purchases we put them on layaway. Pay off in six months with no interest and then get the item. Nowdays they throw credit cards at everyone.

I was so nervous about credit that I waited till I was 23 to get a card.
I carried a balance once and had to pay 30 bucks, but besides that I've made about 3-4k worth of airfare/hotel points, and probably 2-3k in rewards
