    Hello from Mars :P

    Hi , My name is Faizan and i live in Pakistan. I am impressed by such a nice community of scrapers . Although i am alien to you all US people (me an outsider :P ) but i respect the knowledge you all process and hope to learn from you all. MY story is rather boring but here is a short version :

    I leave my college to help my Dad, who had a heart attack, in flat carbon steel business. I work my ass off to help him and give all of my sweat. He assured me that he will help me finance a new business in return and told me that its my business. i worked for six years and now i find myself in dilemma. As i got married this year , he isn't helping me at all. He in return helped my younger brother to start a new business, who just completed his studies. I am living a life of prisoner , who is paid 200 $ a month. And the worst part is that i will never forgive myself to tangle my wife in his situation with me. I love her and try to spend every penny on her. She loves me too and stand with me in these hard time. I hope to start a scrap business someday. I am saving money.

    So as the boring part is over .. :P ... I want all your help in understanding the scrap business. Thanks

    Welcome to the forums from NC. As mechanic said all the info you will ever need about scrapping is here and if you cant find the answer to something don't be afraid to ask we are here to help. Hate to hear things worked out that way with you father but good luck with the scrapping business there is plenty of money to be made.

    If you read enough of the old threads you will learn that many others have started their scraping business because they have fallen on hard times. Those who work at it and pick up the free knowledge here have done well for themselves. I hope for the same for you and your wife. Being determined to succeed is the most important thing to have the rest is time and hard work. Welcome to the forum Mike.
