[quote=scaredyclassic]the rich plumber is kind of a cliche, but goshdarn, we were talking to this plumber who did some work in our house the other day, had a couple helpers, and his combined take home (he couldve been exagerrating but i doubt it) was greater than my househole income.
the bigger question is not which rental to buy, but why college?
maybe the money shoudl be put into starting a small business not for the poster, but the kids…
a real plan involves making kids selfsufficient.[/quote]There’s a lot of risk and hard work to start your own business. It’s not easy and not many succeed in making your rich. I know many small biz owners. Many had many failed businesses before they found their successful ones. Some do find it on their first try but many don’t. It also require a lot more work than your standard 9-5 jobs. But of course, the ceiling is much higher for a small biz owners than a W-2 worker. There’s really no right or wrong answers. You can become wealthy as well being a W-2 earners. Just look at all the original Facebook employees or Instagram employees or Google employees or even Qualcomm’s employees. Bottom line is, just do what you love. Money is not everything.
