Ok so I have a situation and I really need your advise. I am 35 years old and from the Midwest ( 30min west of Green Bay ) I make 14.00 an hour working in a foundery however with child suport taxes and all that fun stuff I only net 350.00 every two weeks. Obviously this is not enough to survive and need a supplement income. So what are my options? Work part time some where on my days off, possibly pay more child suport and this would yeild maybe 400.00 more a month. Or I could scrap!
The problem I see with scraping is that I live on a small town 10,000 people. Yes Green Bay and a couple other bigger city's are with in an hour a way but that is a lot of gas and travel time. There is one guy I been watching build his scrap business from a small shop and a truck to a shop three times the size of his original, a handful of trucks and several employees.( so I know there is money in this ) but I am afraid he has control of the whole town. And if it is not him there is this huge company called harters that take the scrap from my place of work and other businesses ( plumbing shops ext ) so. Really don't know where I fit in the mix. Taking stuff on garbage day would work but would not produce the income I would need. Also being a father of a 10 7 and 2 year old I don't have all the time in the world to make this work.
My level of experience is beg. I don't have a truck but I could purchase one. I feel like this journey is hopeless but then I think of that guy who build his business to what it is today. In the past when I had a truck I drove an hour a way and picked up a bunch of tv's and monitors I remember after the gass and time it took I did not really make that much. I feel like I am missing something here how can some people make money and others don't? The only other problem I foresee is that my future wife does not want a bunch of junk laying around even though we live in the country she does not want a junk yard. Given the following serum stances do you guys think I am cut out for scraping or should try another adventure? I think e waste ( even though I know nothing about it ) sound right for my situation. I know you can buy bulk lots of stuff on line but can you really make a couple hundred dollars a month by doing this say 15 hours a week ( about the amount of hours I would work if I got a part time job )
Thanks for listening to my rambles and please forgive me for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I work third shift and its been a long night! Thanks again for your honest opinion.
