    Start business by myself or w friend who has the needed capital?

The world we live in is filled with many mass media biases. i.e. "If I don't have money by a certain age then I'm a failure" Whether you see them or not, mass media biases are all around you.

    Cut all strings and go for it?

    I like your rationale Lightweight. While I do believe in going for it, there are so many people who jump into the abyss, and found out they made a mistake, and this could be because they are caught up in the passion of the moment. I tend to compare this to the "morning after" scenario which I am...

    Suggestions For My Website

    Start building a list. Have a place where users can enter in their emails on the top right portion of the site. You can then setup autoresponders once you have a decent population and update them with offers or freebies. Give them a strong incentive to enter in their email.

    What can I claim?

    Make sure to separate your bank accounts, if you haven't already. Try to have all the expenses running through your business account. This will make life a lot easier at the end of the year. Just and FYI, the home office deduction is often one of the areas which will raise red flags with the...

    The Wallstreet Journal

    I'd recommend reading the WSJ daily. You don't have to lay eyes on every article, but get into the habit of reading it. Even if you do not have time to spare you can always read the "What's New" section on the face of the paper. It will give a sentence or two summary on all your top headliner...

    Banks will fail, how do I profit?

    They can be nationalized, but for how long? I would also look into strong regional banks with a lot of capital for long term holds. There are quite a few regional banks trading very low right now. If they had a tighter lending policy to begin with they will be in obvious better shape for...
