I need say with respect to scrapping . It has become my foundation to learn . I have regrets from the young years but I take the inspiration from Mike
Just start . So what did scrapping do . First it was like bring metal in and collect cash it was magic & mindless
Then i notice fuel cost going up and up yet scrap is selling higher Hmm High fuel cost = better scrap pay out next thing I start looking a comities
tracking Crude barrel & since copper is there on the NASDAQ I watch copper price next I realize I can Buy Silver and Gold with Scrap .I start catching on scrapping is full on with the market flow & a few years ago I discovering A regular Joe like me can buy stock with Trade king ( now Ally) and Charles Swab for small amt's of money
A skill has been grown just from being a Smart Scrapper ,
Now I am reading The Intelligent Investor by Graham
Mike is correct Older to start is ok also
I see clear now that starting young and saving with money you would hardly notice leaving your pocket is your future
The smug joke to all that give a scrapper a condescending look as they drive to a place (scrap yard ) that the bystander has no clu of
does not realize that YOU can very well be on your way to financial independence
Yes it may take a good portion of your life but if you get there 40 years from now you will
have peace in your financial life
that many of those condescending onlookers
might have no pot to piss in .
If I read some of my original post as Copperhead way back I see my growth from innocence to taking control of my future
long live the scrapper
