For skate style shoes I'm a fan of Nike SB and Lakai. Anything over about $70 will generally last. My Nike Shane Premiums have walked all over Europe and are still in great condition.

I also recommend Vessi. They're waterproof, breathable, comfortable, and my wife and I wore them in all sorts of rough use cases and they are still going strong years later.

This is the way

I tend to browse FB marketplace when I'm bored and look for cars that are listed for less than they seem to be worth. I don't really actively look for them so it's usually a few months between cars because I'm busy with my real job

Car reselling

People often have mechanical problems with their vehicles and instead of trying to fix it they buy a new car. You can sometimes get them to sell the car for half the value, especially if it's not running.

I bought an SUV for $1000 because it wasn't running. I spent 4 hours and $300 replacement a sensor and the brakes on it. I then sold it for $3000. That works out to $1700 of profit for 6 hours' work if you include the time to sell it. That works out to $283/hr.
