---- it, it's not your money. What do you have to lose?

A friend of mine who lives in Vegas received $70,000 from his mom for helping her out with her house payments over the years. She would have lost the house if he didn't help her, but now she has sold the house and moved on and handed him $70,000 to start a business. Lucky bastard.......

My roommate is on a constant search for a new invention or a new business idea or anything that might make a couple bucks. It's funny sometimes....

The plan is to make 1 million dollars (in assets and liquid) starting from 0 dollars. That is my project for the next 5 years. I completed everything that was on my list of things to do before I die a little early. lol.. so I had to come up with other things. One of them was to technically be a millionaire atleast once in my life. And making money is very easy if you just use your head and dont think like an employee.

If I do it, which I am really confident I will, I will write a book on it.

Other than that, all I can tell ya is good ideas, NETWORKING with people, and just put yourself in the right spots at the right time. :-p

But hey, im poor right now.

I can kind of lead you in the right direction as far as towing for the local PD's and whatnot. When I applied for my salvage dealers license I had the option of doing that if I want to, but I'm not really interested. So you'll have to become a salvage dealer first and then go from there. You can also get into repo's which can bring in a lot of money too. You have to get a bonded though which isn't too bad.

Can you ellaborate a little more on the salvage dealers license, why you need it, what does it enable you to do, etc.. and also on the repo's. Because there are already 2 dealerships around here that have said they would use us for repos. thanks!

You know, I just might be living here in 5 years, who knows But I will definatly have a ton more money that you
And those sound effects were used as an inside joke. But since youre not hip to the nerd style, you dont get it.
