Definitely! Some translators/interpreters make good money, it all depends on how fast and accurate you are. It is definitely more difficult to work on a freelance basis because of a huge competition in the market, but if you are lucky to get the projects then most probably you can make it your full time job even and make good income. You can always combine teaching and translating.
2 :
companies need people who speak multiple languages to help develop their bussines, meaning that people who speak more then one language are needed, speaking more then one language gets you hired for jobs easier, because they need people who speak more then one language, so you should make a pretty decent amount.

Well... unless you already have a bunch of money it's really hard to get in on an IPO (Initial public offering). Usually those IPOs are only made available to large investors. Those investors will start to carve off the pieces they have purchased then start selling them at a profit. Those of us who have little to spend have to wait until the stock has been passed through several hands, increasing the price along the way. I wish I had a better answer.
2 :
In the US, firm issue public equity through the use of underwriting firms. These firms acquire the stock and then sell it usually to large clients. I would suggest approaching the owners now and seeing if you can purchase part of the firm now and then hope the sale of public stock will provide you a gain. I also suggest that if you know this detail, others do as well.
3 :
Become a private investor in the company. Contact them. Make sure you have millions. They likely won't deal and spend time and energy for nickel and dimes.

how about yard work, but if you dont live near people that may be hard. Maybe ask your parents for some chores to do that they would pay you for.
2 :
- Sell Ice Cream - Sell something homemade (cookies, cakes, paintings) - Do chores for old people (groceries or vacuuming) - Become someones tutor (math, science, reading, spelling) - If you have a particular hobby such as painting, dancing, jewelery making or photography, you can start taking hobby classes for the same. Or alternately, you can sell your drawings or jewelery or photographs in exhibitions. - Deliver newspapers. - Make/sell cold drinks. - You can clean peoples homes or Wash Windows. - Mail Pick-Up Service: When people travel, people need someone to pick up their mail and newspapers. - Household chores. - Iron clothes. - Ask all my neighbors if they needed any hired help for odd jobs. - Hold a lemonade stall. All these can help u to get some cash.

50,000 Euros/year.
2 :
If you are living on your own you need about 500-700 euros a month for an appartment
3 :
HI, Munich is quite expensive. So be prepared to spend at least 1.500-2000 Euros per month.
4 :
Think carefully about this. A small studio flat will cost about 300€ cold, then you will have to budget for electricity, gas, rubbish, TV, Health insurance, cost of public transport, TAX, and so on. This is before you buy any food or have a glass of beer. The other answers are in the right region - I'd guess a minimum of 1500€ per month.
5 :
Go more on the outskirts from Munich since in Munich itself it is quite expensive. There are good car manufacturing places ca,hundred km. from Munich like BMW in a town called Dingolfing. good luck.
