    More years ago than I care to admit, I remember being excited when the price was a penny a pound ($20 per ton). When it hit two cents a pound ($40 per ton), we thought we were rich! A friend and I were so excited when we heard the news of the price increase we put so much weight on the truck that the bumper scraped the ground when we pulled on the scale. ( ok, we were young and not too smart at the time...)

    This business isn't a get rich quick thing, it's about a decision to be your own boss. When the price drops you find ways to cut costs to still make money. When the price goes up, those cost saving ideas help you to make a lot more money. Don't get discouraged. Read everything on this forum you can and determine what type of material works the best for you. It does work.
