It's not that hard to be exact, at least with the example you give.
A very important part of implementing a successful PLAN is accurate budgeting/costing. This is part of a process called "due diligence". In a nutshell, due diligence is anything and everything you need to do PRIOR to buying something, building something, starting a business, etc.
It's understood that these numbers may change-- costs go up (or down), you think of other things you need, or eliminate others you thought were important, but aren't.
But for the planning phase, go online and get the costs. Investigate what you need, and check a few spots to see what the costs are.
Do NOT just "guess"-- this is a sure-fire way to screw up your PLAN.
The more you flesh out your idea with specifics (thinking through the entire process), the better chance you have of succeeding.

Thanks. I got a second class to go to later today, but I will still set time to do this. Without me reading the other ideas yet, I'm curious about something. Did anyone who mentioned a plan here actually see it through and do well, or did everyone just use this as a fun experiment?
