    I wasted over $100,000 last year.

    We have our money in envelopes. I actually do this with my main business too. If people give me cash, it goes straight in an envelope to keep track of. I have $425 here on my desk that needs to be logged in right now. If any personal or business comes out of which ever envelope, it is logged as...

    Difficult choice...

    I agree, a single stock is never worth crossing the street for; especially with a start-up.

    I have two questions for you (borrowing from family)

    HOT! 
    So we are having this conversation over $3000? Come on, if you are serious, you can get a 2nd or 3rd or 4th job and save that much in just a few short months. I'll warn you that if you are trying to do this with the very least money possible, just know that you will probably need more money...

    One woman nets $100k/$200k..... 2000 people borrowed money from their family and now they are enemies. Agree or not, it's the truth.... 1 vs 2000. Now about your theory..... what do I think wealthy families do? Well, I know several and none have done what you say they do. I'm not saying there...

    Borrowing money is never a great idea but borrowing it from a family member would be the WORST!!! So, what is the amount you need? I ask this because I have a follow up for it.

    Own a Business? Answer Your Damn Phone

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    I am 100% with you on that one. If you choose to 'take' calls or say that you do.... answer the phone. If you are too busy, take down your website or ads. Here is what I do nowadays, I've stopped using Google for these things. I needed an exterminator so I drove to the one down the street and...

    My wife was set on a certain Honda CRV so we went in and as far as I was concerned, got screwed. From a business stand point, I know that if they finance the car, the dealer can actually make the % rate higher than the loan company and that is why they do not like for you to buy the car...

    Is ridesharing a good idea / hustle?

    IDEA 
    2 things. 1. I'd never go in to debt for anything if it was me. 2. Anyone thinking of going to work for Uber/Lyft/etc, why not get your own customers and make all of the money? This is so easy to do, if you can't make this work, you will have a hard time making something else work. Live in a...

    I was just going to have a store. I'm not sure I was going to scale it beyond what it would have taken to run the 1 location. But, if I would have scaled it, I would have had someone else do all the work and worry. Those days are over for me.... BUT.... this does not mean I'm out of the mattress...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    And for example, if they are asking $10k for it..... ask if they still have the item. This gets the conversation going. Then tell them that you wish them luck in selling it and if you had more money, you would buy it but you only have $3700. They might counter or they might say ok.... see ya...

    I just put my house up for sale and no one I know understands why

    HOT! 
    This is exactly why I never tell friends or family what I'm doing. I might get on here and tell something or some place else on the internet but I'd never tell friends and or family. I'd say when we moved from a house to an apartment everyone thought I was crazy (I am but that's another story)...
