    Good luck on that, you are starting a parts business at the worst time ever. Talk to most the shops or dealers. I will bet you, you wont make a million in the next 2 year!

    Most people jump in it with high hopes, but when reality sets in you’ll see!!!!!

    And their is only a few millionaires on this board, and the 1st thing they did was invest their money. Not spend it on stupid stuff!

    X 1000.0000000000!
    i doubt with the over head and the constant re investing it takes to run a parts bussiness. even if you make 500.000 in sales you will not have as much profit as you think. With a parts biz you have to have inventory there and on the shelf that day most people when they get paid what to buy that day not wait a few weeks for shipping.

    Take it from me Money isn’t everything... People today are so twisted , everyone thinks everything in life is based on money. Yes you can buy nice stuff with it, you think it will make you happier. But it just fills an empty void in your life.

    For example the Billionaire that just blew his brains out, he had more money then any of us ever will. But obviously he still wasn’t happy.

    Ill give you another example, My family. We inherited about 20 Million divided in 6 of us. All of it is in property. I wish it was cash. But they are so greedy that it has made them evil and i don’t even consider them family anymore.

    Money makes people evil and greedy!

    ehhh good luck, even in this economy anything is tough.

    My business has actually been doing pretty well, we did close to $250,000 in sales last year, im already on par to pass that this year, but i have an advantage over the other people in my field.

    Making a MILLION is tough, and to be honest, danny is right, investing is where to make the BIG return, especially nowadays

    Even better, good luck with that. I know someone that has a huge cellphone store off jimmy carter blvd. Took him 6 years to make his 1st million. And selling a house for 500,000 good luck on that also.

    I can go buy a 2 million dollar house for 500,000.

    Your damn right about that but if your using it for a good cause then it's not....My mom and dads side of the family are both multi millonaires....my grandmas first house she got she paid like 120k for it in the 50's and sold it for around 800k in 2000 when the market was booming in new york....she took that money and instead of buying another house she bought property and hired a crew of contracters and is now living in a 3 millon dollar estate on the island of haiti so imagine how much it's worth now.

    Thats the problem with saying there is money in the Housing market, no one knows the REAL VALUE of the assets. The $400,000 wasnt really WORTH $400k it was an artificial number.

    Id be carefull getting into real estate right now with the way the dollar is. It isnt worth shit if you cant sell it

    the market has to get better after this stimulus......the major corporations got fucked over....my mom lost 80% of her 401k she said she almost had a heart attack when she woke up and saw the balance.....The thing about it is the govt new about this shit 3 years prior to it happening and didn't warn us about shit.

    the stimulus wont fix the economy, itll do little to nothing. Tax cuts in the program will do little for small business or the private sector.

    People that get that extra $500-1000 back, wooptee fucking doo da. They will most likely save it and not spend it as they will continue to lose jobs.

    BiG 2 are going down in march unless we print more money (think another 400,000 jobs right there lost)

    Retail sales are still down

    Gas Prices are starting to inch back up

    Housing is still a mess and the main problem is people in a home they cant afford.
