If you had $1000 and wanted to make the most from it in the fastest way how would you do it?...in a legal way but also including high risk things except for crypto currencies

@porwest A safe way is to put money in bonds etc. I've done that and it works. I put 20k in kaupthing edge bonds out of iceland and they went bust but santander bought them and I got all my money back.
ISA's are safe I can do that.
What I wondered was if you have any ideas about how to make money fast?
Let's say you had $1000 how would you use it to make more in the fastest way? not crypto.

@Mike197602 Is there a such thing as a "fast way?" lol. Sure, some people get lucky. But luck is rarely ever at the source of success and riches. It takes hard work. It takes commitment. It takes knowledge. Most importantly it takes time.
There are faster and better ways. But faster and better only happens when you know what you are doing and have a plan to do it.
People go to great lengths throughout their lives learning about how to do things or make sure things work when they need them. For whatever reason, when it comes to money, they ignore that one and then wonder why their money doesn't work for them...
Or why they have to wait until they are crippled and in their advanced years to retire not only broke, but without the ability to actually enjoy it. lol

I won't recieve retirment because I'm already on disability. I also don't make enough to have to file taxes. I filed for my husband, and I'm thankful we did it when we did. He'd been retired ten months when he had his stroke. He quit his job right before he retired. So, we're good. Well, I made him work until he finally said, he could walk away and not care.

I've been retired now for over a few yrs at 62 & what I make isn't enough to
live on & pay bills & with what I do with the $ I make helps Hubby with
what bills he can't cover & he has been retired for over 20 yrs, but we
make what we get work & live happy enough to have plenty of food &
anything else we want or need in life at our age which isn't much.
