theres obvious a history of something, if you guys had to put the money in a joint account.

but yeah...your dad sucks for wasting all his money. he should have used it to get himself on his feet. Im sorry.

One word: Vegas.

Seriously, Goosemaster's father sounds like the chronically irresponsible type. He's already and adult so I would not expect him to ever change. Sorry if that sounds cold but it's what I honestly believe.

I would put the money into an annuity or trust that he could never access directly.

You actually have 90g OOBradM?

I want to do it on my own anyway. Couple of years ago, if I held off on college, I would
have made 65g after my 10g invest. I also would have had an apartment payed for and a brand new car to add to it.

I was really tempted, but I knew if I held off on college then I would be even lazier.

Stock could do it if you were a big shot, but one must truly use their entrepenurial skills to make money.

My father went to college overseas for 2 weeks and is doing pretty well.

Hint :) : Gas stations (steretypical lol), hotels (somewhat stereotypical), real estate, overseas business involvement

You are currently trying to make a move with this big company that has over 1 billion in turnover.

EDIT - Forgot foreign restaurants and maybe liquor stores. We just met up with a friend who owns four restaurants in TN that make atleast 2 thousand dollars for every 2 hours.

Z0mb13- You just don't know.

We get information and venture out.

When you first start out though, you have to invest 10-12 hours a day everyday for maybe 2 or 3 years.

You have to have that crazy mentality. Just pretend like you have no money at all and keep going for the "gusto". Like all things, it does take work. Save money and send it out in percentages to businesses you think will prosper (Eggs not all in one basket)

My father was setup to retire at 43, move back to the old country, and have US Dollars come in to him for no work. These businesses perpetuate...................

You spew the same crap I hear from clients that I have to put a lean against their property to get them to pay their markers.

Raincity, I do not recall even targeting anything towards you, but if you must, we pay for everything in cash. I could care less about your "clients" and how the hell could you compare a client to someone you don't even know??

Anyway, I do not expect a response because I could care less and I was not even involved in communications with you.
