For me, I'm looking at a laundromat (made a thread about it) and possibly buying an 18 wheeler

I know a woman who's husband is on the trucking business (has his own)

I'm going to sit down with them in May and see what's the best course of action for hiring someone, finding freight, and ways to acquire a big rig....


I'm planning on starting a website /creating an app this year too... I'll be posting it here on nt and expect yall to use it!!

I've also started a website. Haven't put much time in it. Check it out and tell me what you think. Toomuchtech.org

Also the route you are taking sounds like you can make some serious dough off of each hustle you are trying to do.
 
 
- Not focus entirely on IRA/401k

- Save ~70% of my paychecks

- Invest in real estate in my area

- Selling off unnecessary wardrobe

Good topic.
I really want to get into the real estate game but don't have the money to get into it
 
Selling off my impulse and pointless buying of kicks And ones that I have no intent to wear or get little wear.

Reasoning for this? 
I have my 401k set up at work (who wouldn't?), but I hope I won't be depending on it when the time comes.

Passive income/multiple cash flows (real estate) > retirement $

You plan on driving on the side?  My pops owned a rig when I was growing up as some side income.  He leased it out to drivers and took a cut.  Seemed like easy money, but then again I was a kid so I'm not too hip to the ins and outs of how he had it set up.

No driving for me

From the few conversations I've had, the hardest part is

1. Finding freight that needs transportation
2. Driver expenses

Some guys have to take care of all the expenses themselves, but they get paid a hefty fee

They also have beds in their rigs to offset hotel costs so that's more scratch for them.

You also have to choose between leasing a truck and buying a truck (as do people with their vehicle purchases)


I plan on leasing so I won't be on the hook for a $150k vehicle over a 10 year note...

If I can lock down a short lease, I think it will be a good experiment to try
 
make sure your customers don't fall in love with buying on credit cause that's a hole that will leave you with never getting paid. And make sure you hire a trustworthy driver cause steali and "losing" stuff is very real in that industry.

Idk if they offer it in Texas but you could look into buying a vitamin water route or something and all you'll need is a driver, helper and a salesman. Of course the overhead (buying the route) might be greater and there's some annoying paperwork that needs to be done.

Don't forget about insurance costs. New drivers often start an llc and get all their permits, then when its time to buy the truck, they get slapped with a 1000/month premium because they have no experience. Even for those that have been in business for some time insurance does not come cheap. With all the fraud out there and natural disasters, premiums are going up and up.
 
Going to keep an eye on bitcoin more often now, been thinking about investing in it for a while when prices drop.
 
I've been thinking about many different avenues of getting this paper. To be honest, I need to get my finances right and figure out a game plan
 
Once I got into eCommerce I haven't looked back since.  There's something beautiful about waking up to new sales every day, especially when you don't have to ship the products myself.
