Hello everyone.
I'm Bill.
I've been lurking around for a couple of months. I've posted a few times and decided that it's time to introduce myself.
I've spent the last 246 months straddling the sidewalk and slow lane while serving in the US military. 20.5 years is a long time to run the same treadmill. Six months ago I started to see if there were alternatives. I discovered many great books including TMF and Unscripted . I also discovered that I don't have to live in a world of scarcity.
I recently had a chance to spend a few weeks at home with my wife and son. I loved being around every day. My wife's health isn't good and my son is autistic. Being home every day enhanced everyone's life. My goal is to never have to work outside my home again. I need to be around when they need me (which is frequently). I guess that's my "WHY".
I'm currently searching for my next path. I know that real estate will be a part of my future. Before I can begin to develop a rental portfolio I need to pay the bills. I'm trying to decide how to replace my full income after I retire. The deficit is expected to be around $3,500. I've been reading posts here about importing products and selling them online. I'm hoping to learn more about that. I'm also considering going the arbitrage route. I'd love to hear from people who have been successful with either. Once I decide on where to put my energy I'll have a few months to work on it before I actually retire.
I've found a few threads about purchasing an existing business.
I think this forum is really special. I've already spent many hours reading the great posts here. There is so much information available here it's overwhelming.
