Warren Buffet once said: "If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."
沃伦·巴菲特曾经说过：“如果你不想个办法在你睡觉的时候赚钱，那你就得一直工作到死。”

这句话起初听起来有点荒谬，不是很明显吗？
 
And how on earth can it be possible to make money while you sleep?
而且，怎么可能在睡觉的时候赚钱？
 
If you want to have an income, you have to work, right?
如果你需要收入，当然你必须一直工作，对吧？
 
But no, what he said is not wrong.

That way which he described as to make money while you sleep is called investing.

Normal middle-class use their skills and time to make money. But the rich use their money to make money. They invest the money that they own now to make ROI, which means return on investment.

But when I saw this quote of Buffett, I suddenly realized: Isn’t that making all my efforts in vain? Because I have nothing left. I didn’t make anything for my future.
