    This line of thinking is correct. It's not always how much you make, it's more about how much you waste. People spend money on really dumbshit and end up just getting by. I'm not saying live like a cheapskate, just don't waste money on stupid shit (Disclaimer: this does not include E30's)

    i hate people that always have to top another but this story is worth it. i bought a non running 95 e36M3 with an AA turbo kit on it for 3k.brought it home,put 6 spark plugs in it ,paid a body shop 700 bucks to touch up a couple spots and sold it for 12.5k. 4 days later the guy who bought it called to say the diff fell out of it in chicago. i paid him 1400 to have it repaired. i made 8800 bucks for putting in 6 spark plugs

    your words don't hurt. i know when the sun goes down, you'll be fondling my balls, just like every other night.
    I've been wondering... Are you considered clever where you are from or is Pennsylvania the state that wit forgot?

    And why are you obsessed with the boy on boy love? Have you ever touched a girl? Or just watch her touch herself in your avatar?

    car flipping is profitable I bought a 86 325es and did a ton of work to make it a nice car again, since it was a carfax certified car. When I finished with it I had $1850 in it including the car. Things done to it, clutch, paint job, front seat reupholstery, some a/c work very big detail and when I finished it it was sold on ebay for $5250 although this has been almost 4 years ago now and I also had a ton of car fixing hookups as well.

    Car auctions?
    Home auctions, poor turnout in poor weather, you get some steals, you never know what you might find in the bottom or a $1 box. I bought the whole contents of a shed for $8, eBayed two items and made $200, and still had lot of useful odds and ends.

    ^^^Oh yeah and in the outakes/deleted scenes of the DVD they show that same scene where the captain says, "Well.. now you're gay." LOL

    Running a business is not for everyone. One of the main purposes of going into business is being able to create an entity that makes you money when you aren't working. Also, you have to know the difference between being in business and being self employed. Most people confuse the difference between owning a business and owning their job. And IMO there is nothing wrong with either one of those situations.

    For instance being that I own a property management business, I have people working for me and it operates as an entity completely separate from myself. Currently I work in my business 10 to 12 hours daily but eventually it will grow to the point where I will hardly ever have to be around for it to function properly. On the other hand, the side stuff that I do with installing plasma TV's and surround sound systems, that is essentially me owning a job. For as long as I advertise that kind of service, I will be the one doing the work.

    So when it comes to my business, one of the pros is that I can go on vacation for a few days and it will still generate income. But one of the cons is that if anyone calls in sick, I am responsible for seeing to it that the job gets done. Also I am accountable to those who work for me by ensuring that they have everything they need to perform their job duties and making sure they get paid on payday. When it comes to my self-employment, I am not responsible for anyone other than myself, however, when I am not working, I am not making money.
