Read this. Then read it again. Then read it every morning. Then memorize it. Then live it. Then pass it along to someone who asks you “how do I make more money?” You want to know the answer? The real answer? You decide to. http://magaimg.net/img/7m2n.png

Got any bad or unnecessary habits you can break such as smoking, drinking or energy drinks? Do you have any leeches such as a lazy girlfriend, unhelpful roommates or useless siblings? Do go out a lot to eat? Do you pay people to do things that you can do yourself?
I don't know your situation, but I suggest cutting out any unnecessary costs. On top of that, find a better job. If you live in a rediculously high priced city like New York City or Manhatten, you may want to consider moving.
Its just an idea, but have you considered finding a volunteer group that does charity work for building homes and such. It could be a way to learn some new skills with carpentry, painting or plumbing which really aren't terribly hard to do, but they pay pretty damn well if hired to do that kind of thing.
Someone else may be more familiar with this, but I don't think its a bad idea. It could give you some more contacts and maybe get a side job as an assistant.

You can watch a week’s worth of YouTube videos about Sheetrock, taping, and bedding and then go get a job with a Sheetrocker. You can watch a week’s worth of videos about painting and then go get a job with a painter. What you do after 5pm will dictate how much you make before 5 pm.

Could retire early but the company I work at got bought out last year and the retention bonus to stay on for another year was enough to keep me here for a bit longer. Turning 41 this year, looking forward to enjoying a lot of time off soon :)
I'll probably get bored and try founding a company or switching to semi retirement in a few years. I'm looking for a partner btw. Thinking about buying a sail boat and need a 1st mate ;)
edit: I had some learn years when I was younger. It gets better. Always be saving.

For drug addicts, sure.
