    Default Plans to be rich

    Whats yours? I see a lot of people here post up that they plan to be wealthy, have their own business, etc blah blah. So how do you plan on getting to where you want to be even if that isn't wealth?

    I plan to take your average run of the mill pants and blue jeans.... run them over with a car a few times, drag them across the street until the threads are freyed and stuff... then sell them to frat boys and people who think they're cool.


    Oh wait, theres already a ton of places in the mall that do that.

    since there's been people steal my ideas before I won't share my plans. All I can say is I hope to double my sales and profit next year as well as expand into other markets

    Every goal I've set I've met or exceeded this year so I hope to continue to do that

    I would happily give up an extra 3% to know that my company was making more than $250,000 after expenses. I like how Joe "the plumber" says that the extra 3% is the reason he can't buy this business, because it will keep him from paying his employees and paying for healthcare. It wasn't like he was planning on paying all of his taxes anyway, the guy neglected to pay all of his taxes and get a license anyway, he'll probably forget to vote at that rate.

    I'll make too little money until I get so frustrated that I write a book and live reasonably for the rest of my life. I don't think I'm the greatest writer or the greatest worker, but I'm decent at both and think that I will overcome the crap wage that I'm currently at. I just want to be average and enjoy my life at this point, no rich dreams about it.
    Sorry for the political thread jack.

    Investing in the stock market. I am already off to a pretty good start, by getting into bear Stearns cheap, then getting out before they sold out, then with the FM's when they were low and sold off before they tanked again. This week has sucked hardcore though.

    developing more parts where there is no market. Id like to have my own website by Jan.

    Hopefully next year will see the launch of my own product line along with expanding my wholesale program.

    I want to expand into other businesses like emissions, car wash, general maint shop.

    Id also like to develop items not for the car market

    General Maint is where the money is IMO. this is the thing i dont really want to get into, but ive kinda wanted some kind of shop for awhile now.

    I want to get into Day Trading.

    I want to get into a bigger importing role

    Well since the economy took a shit a lot of insurance agents have been closing. We are scooping them up like theirs no tomorrow. We Had 2 agencies before the economy took a crap we now have 8. We are in the middle of buying a few more, gotta spend money too make money.

    My mom was the one that 1st opened the agency back in 1999, she did so good that she no longer works here, I pay her a salary and run the business. Hopefully within the next couple of years I will be able to kick back and enjoy it like she is now.

    This is a perfect time to buy out your competition if you have the operating capital.

    good to hear you are making moves

    To get into real day trading you need a minimum of $25k in an account. Unless they've changed the rules lately, but I don't think they have. So you better start saving!

    well its like this: I close on my house jan16 so with my mortgage being roughly 950 a month. after apply for that tax credit get that lowererd and have my 3 roomates pay for the mortgage and bills (we're all payin 400 a month).
    Im working at my job and they havent really been hit too hard thanks to this mess thankfully. Its stable its in the medical supply field witha lot of diffrent units to switch to. So im goin to transfer to a better shift (Pharma would pay me a dollar more upon transfering), make more money with more hours and get home earlier and use the extra capital to pay off the principle on top of payin my mortgage payment to speed shit up til they all move. I figure that would put me vastly ahead in a few years time. That with my raises being a dollar a year roughly i'll be better off.

    I can afford that house without them now but it'll be better on my part to make more. After that I'd use my second job (which is kinda like event planning but you get paid 160 a day plus 55 per meal to travel) and throw that into savings, the market,and into the house. That job takes care of me wanting to travel the world because you get to pick and choose which event you want to do. Like for example my mom does it and went to thialand last year and just got back from down under in April. its not very long trips, like maybe a week sometimes two but its worth it. I would take a week out of my vacation at my primary job to go ( I get 18days PTO a year). The only downside is I gotta do a 10-99 but hey its not like an every other month thing and some i dont need to take time off for since it's local.

    Think about it if I get to the point where that house is paid off there is a major bill I never have to pay again and I can really stack money. im 22 almost 23 i got plenty of time. im also looking into govt jobs while im at it like the FAA. They make bank! And with the guys payin the mortgage off as rent I have the time to do the 5wks of training to add another 15k to what i make now.

    In time even if I stay with my company i wouldnt be doing bad at all. Im still reading up on everything though but so far its a solid plan.

    How do I plan on getting rich?!?


    I plan on getting as educated as possible. Right now I have a BS in Mathematics, and in December I'll have my second one in Mechanical Engineering (I'm in a dual degree program). Next weekend I'm taking the FE exam so I can start the process of becoming a professional engineer. After school hopefully I can get employed by a company that's willing to invest into my education, so I can go back to school and get my MBA. In addition, I'm getting married this summer to a very smart and career orientated female who's working toward her phD. So while she work toward her phD, I plan on taking care of the household, work on my MBA, and save as much money as possible. Once she is done and get into a career, I plan on quitting my job, living on her salary, and starting my business. If that doesn't working out, I'll go back to engineering and still have good life.

    I already own a business. What I do is assist other people in developing a business of their own. A business mentor if you will. I also plan on diversifying into other avenues eventually. A friend of mine and I would like to open a car shop to do performance upgrades and general maintenance. Then eventually buying some of the property and buildings in downtown Macon and devolving those into buildings that would be great places to open traditional businesses in. If you have ever been to Macon, downtown area could us a little work.
    Nothin yet...
