If you are a Software developer, it’s easier than ever to become millionaire.

What most haven’t figured out yet, is how to become wealthy without working too hard.

This is my TLDR How-To:

*   Don’t do a startup.
    
*   Specialise in something that the every company likes a lot, like AWS. Avoid niche tech, go for huge popular things (eg. AWS, JS, Python, React).
    
*   Take a $ 500-1000 / day, full-remote job. If you can’t find them, [I’ll post a bunch](https://amaca.substack.com/subscribe?).
    
*   Don’t live in big cities (beach town or country-side will do).
    
*   Leave any job that requires too much work or too many meetings. Meetings _are the mind killer_. You’ll quickly find another one because you specialized.
    
*   Take 2 months for holidays in-between contracts.
    
*   Do this for 7 years while investing most of your salary in a diversified portfolio. Don’t go too crazy with Crypto.
    

Congratulations. You’re now millionaire like any other senior programmer that invested, but you’ve worked less, and for fewer years.

PS: Cannot find a remote job? There are plenty of proper professional networks like [Toptal](http://toptal.com/) (contracts) or [Turing](http://turing.com/) (mostly permanent jobs). Otherwise try contacting companies directly:
