I'm curious about those who easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars, or tens of thousands. How do they do it? Is it because I haven't seen enough or am I behind on information?

From what I understand, many people in quick jobs earn a base salary of over $3,000 a month (on average, some don't even get the full amount), and stock trading, where I see some make money and others just break even.

Is it now difficult to succeed, or is it too late, or is it just bad luck? I'm a bit confused and indeed haven't made big money yet.
