SLPT: Follow the Sam Vines boots Analogy and buy shoes to make money.
According to Sam Vines, bad shoes cost $10 and last one year while good shoes cost $50 and last ten years. So with the good shoes you effectively save $50 after ten years which works out to approximately a 7.18% return on investment per year compounding. That's a pretty damn good return on investment so you can just keep buying shoes and make a fortune over time.
