Efficient Early Money Without the Grind

You don't need risky heists to build a bankroll early. A few disciplined habits compound faster than a single big score — and they don't get you wanted.

The routine

1. Prioritize repeatable short jobs with a fixed payout over risky heists early.
2. Collect map pickups on your natural travel routes — never detour far.
3. Reinvest a fixed percentage of every payout, not a fixed amount.
4. Avoid cosmetic purchases until you own a reliable income source.
5. Track your hourly rate and drop any activity below your average.

The one rule

Percentage-based reinvestment is the whole trick. It scales with you automatically, so your passive income grows without you ever recalculating.
