    Advice for the 18 year old scrapper

    I'm happy to look back at my scrapping years and say it's been a run that coincides with my kids being so very young to oldest approaching 19 now another 18 a boy 13 another girl 15 they did there share of copper from TV yolks
    I am an expert Hunter , That's all I need say of that. I've seen prices fluctuate from the pit's to grand slam but with scrap there seems always a few metals or type on the list to help ride out storms .
    My advice to 18 and other's is this , As a supplemental income Scrapping can afford you a retirement portfolio for your 60's that will rival the best company offerings . You will have to develop understanding's of - Stock - Gold Silver & other investment platforms . YOU HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE !! Now wile your young .
    There is no need to go into the Scrap pay out amount's per week, scrapper's know this . But if your just scrapping and living the life with the proceeds and not investing..... this will be a monumental loss .
    The most simplistic investment could be a Charles swab account .
    weekly investments's $25 or $50 in an Index ETF is better then cases of beer and cigarettes
    I was 18 , I know how fast $25 to $50 goes to NOTHING .
    DO IT weekly the ETF's grow, as they develop mass if you want a safer investment , sell some off and open an IRA or cash some out for Gold or Silver . I am no wiz in all investments . But I see now $25 to $50 per week for 40 years will be life changing at age 60 let alone 65

    Scrapping can easily deliver $25 to $50 per week every scrapper knows that
    BUT you need be young
    So wake up and take action .
    JUST DO IT !!!

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
