    I don't think it is a fart.

    Seriously I think this is getting stupid. We need means testing and an entry system that prevents just anyone from getting an authority and then failing within months when the market cycles down.

    If you can get through all of the crap of getting your own authority, on your own, without someone else holding your hand or doing it for you, then you should be able to run this kind of business. I don't think the OP will be back but what he really needs is about $25k saved and to be careful buying a truck. Like I said, I don't think he'll be back though. With the question he asked he probably won't be able to find his own thread since the mods moved it. Maybe he should go be a lumper instead.

    well the money should start rolling in any minute now ... it's best to get some garbage cans with lids on them and fill them up with all that money you can stack them 4 high in most basements .. when your basement is full you know its time to retire if you don't have a basement there is no good way to tell when you have enough money. .... should be able to fill a basement in 6 months

    Running? I guess a good pair of running shoes? I hear New Balance are making some here in the USA, so show some patriotism. :)
