Reply to comment by djmooseknuck in getting a nice chunk of money next month. by JGreenAZ

I’ll expand a little bit. Your whole post is nonsense so I’m going to ignore it and pretend you wrote a better post and reply to it instead.

If you are an accountant, an IT professional, a lawyer, dentist, etc with 10 years exp, yes starting your own business might make sense, if you are just a guy with no particular skill or experience who has a bit of money, starting a business is a terrible idea. First off what will your business be? I doubt you’d randomly decide to go into business producing commercial latex or something not would $90k be enough to do it. You have experience shopping and eating so you’ll probably decide to open a restaurant or retail shop, both are INCREDIBLY difficult to run, and for this reason have HUGE failure rates.

I am 27 years old

I own a race horse boarding facility, started and sold a marketing agency ($300k exit after 18 months operation), I bought a small used car lot two yrs ago, and I’m in the middle of a $5MM acquisition of a wholesale lumber mill.

On top of all this, I’m a full time account manager for a logistics brokerage

I had no experience with the businesses I am in, I have no degree, I had no mentors

Just the same access to the internet that you and OP have

I also did it all without $90k to start. In fact, I was homeless at 19 and lived in my sunfire

Just because YOU failed and gave up doesn’t mean OP should allow you to project fear on their goals

They are not OPs goals though, they're yours.

You began a little spat. I have provided my resume on the subject matter (starting a business)

How you choose to be affected by that is your own prerogative
