I was fortunate to recieve large sums of money from a very rich uncle at the age of 15. I saved it for about 4 years until I left home. I spent alot of money on the house and invested in a business that I knew would be booming by the time my money starts running out. Thanks to sound financial planning, I can now afford things like cool cars and big guns!
Trust me, all the boring stuff you learn on a business course in college is well worth it. All you need is a few thousand pounds/dollars/yen/whatever and a good business to invest in.
