    Reusable toilet wipes, unfortunately, not a joke.

    Why don't we all just start using Bidets? That would cut down on TP use quite a bit... haha And they're so refreshing to use... *sigh* - Hakrjak

    Here's another quick idea I had: To replace an income of $80k, you'd need to make $6666 per month. If you can make a conservative $200 cashflow per SFR, then that will be 33.33 SFR's you'd need in your portfolio to be able to exit the Rat Race and replace your income. Even 1/2 of that which...

    A quick explanation is necessary, per your post: -- Our market is kind of unique, which is what brought on the conversation in my office. Colorado Springs used to be a huge Technology center with a dozen or so big Tech companies located here and thousands of IT related jobs, but over the...

    Here's another idea: If you have an IT background, how about a mobile IT consulting service? Kind of like Geek Squad or Geeks on Call, but maybe a little cheaper (Because you won't have all their advertising & franchise overhead), and faster. Advertise that you can be to someone's from door...

    Come on guys, with the exception of a couple -- these ideas are pretty poor. haha... I expected a bit more from this group. It sounds like 80% of you would starve to death if you found yourselves in this situation, or end up having to take another day job for less money somewhere else ;)...

    The key also is that you should be starting a business that is somewhat recession proof.... I like the idea of developing a Facebook application because they are cheap and are in demand, but the odds that someone could pick up a book and code an App out of thin area is kind of unbelievable to...

    Here's one idea I have, I'm sure I'll post others soon: I would try to take my Flipping business full time, if I could find a banker willing to loan to me. I may have to use hard money lenders, etc -- but I think I could do it. 4 houses a year at $20k a pop would replace the $80k of income...

    Big Disclaimer: This thread is SLOWLANE. But sometimes even when you're in the FastLane, it's helpful to ponder things like this for fun... I was moved to start this thread after having a conversation with some co-workers at the office. It seems like with the economy the way it is, nobody...

    How to make money with your blog?

    In some of the other threads people have made good points about how everybody in these communities tends to "pile on" in areas where they see others making money. Before you know it, the only thing left is scraps -- Just look at what happened to Ebay, where I used to make $12,000 a month... Now...
