what is your dream in your life?

[foo2thabar]

I went by this in highschool.

As far as stress.... you have no idea. The balance between work and family life is a real son of a -----. I have no time for myself. I get 1 to 2 days off per week, but they aren't really days off because I spend them doing ---- for other people. I go out to the garage to chill and work on my car or something and my wife and kids come in there. There's no time for me. I'm driving to Charleston SC next weekend for my brother's wedding. I thought about taking a few extra days off work to chill down there but realized I couldn't really afford it.

I never realized he was a vegetarian. Add him to my list of "Vegetarians that could kick my ---" ... along with Henry Rollins and Woody Harrelson.

But, yeah, the relaxing part. Why do you need to work 6 days per week? What can you do to reduce that? Are you spending too much? How about you go down to two cars? Thats no insurance or gas or upkeep bills on a third car. Maybe start selling drugs or form a prostitution ring and go by the pimp moniker "Upgrayedd", for a double-dose of pimping. You could counterfeit $10 bills in your garage since nobody checks them. Then you don't actually have to pay for that $100 restaurant bill. Just hand them a stack of tens. "tens".

It's true that everyone have a deam in life and try with all his efforts to achieve them.and of course those dreams change during each step of life there are those who have many dreams and those who ,unfortuntely, kill their dreams. For those who think like that i say that you should believe that one day dreams come true. For me i had many dreams i'll mentionne some of them. My dream is to travel all arount the world to visit many countries..

I have my ford mustang and the wife has a ford escort. The third vehicle is a work truck, a ford ranger. None of them cost anything aside from regular maintenance, gasoline and insurance. The insurance isn't really much of anything. The mustang is the most expensive to have, naturally. The escort and ranger only cost like $12 per month to have insured. They're all paid off. The reason I have to work 6 days a week is because I'm the bread winner, and I have to be. The wife is a stay at home mom with our two boys. I also don't really make that much money. I have a degree from IU in business administration, but since the economy has gone down the crapper, all of the "good" places to work around Auburn Indiana have hiring freezes. I'm an advocate for people getting off their butt and working, even if they're going to be under-employed. I've been working as the Plant Security Supervisor at a local door factory. It's certainly not what I want to be doing right now, but it's not too bad. You do what you gotta do. Take home pay (after taxes) is roughly $400 per week give or take depending on overtime. So $1600 monthly. But at the same time, we also have about $1600 in monthly bills, mostly in the house payment and utilities. My brother used to rent part of my house and that helped supliment some of the cost of utilties and such, but then he left to join the service a year and a half ago and of course, I don't have that help anymore. To supliment my income, I've been buying stuff from people on craigslist locally that don't really know what they have, vintage electronics for example, and then reselling them on eBay to people who actually know what they're looking for for a decent markup. It's been working out nicely. I'm so damn tight with money that I could eat a piece of coal and crap out a diamond. You gotta be these days, but I have spotless credit, all of my bills are paid on time and I don't owe a dime to anybody with the exception of what's left on my house.

But have you considered the other options for income I suggested?

That garage of yours would make a nice pot garden as long as you don't open it and black out the windows. Or do you have an attic? That would be the easiest. But I would stay away from the HID lights if you use the attic, those high-pressure sodium lamps generate too much heat and the DEA choppuhz can see it. Stick to the low-heat and low-power-use CFL lighting.

As for starting a prostitution ring, check this out for a quick guide: http://pimpcentral.org/howto0.htm

For counterfeiting, well, I'll end up with Secret Service agents storming my house if I go into it, but just stick to mostly $10s and a few $20s. Just don't mix those dollah billz in with the money you make from the other two sources, because the bank WILL find out. And then that damned squirrel will show up to take you to Gitmo.

Laundering all the extra money should be fairly easy, just don't live extravagantly

So without sound (as I'm packing up to move) you seem to have a thing about rough (as in the day after the night before) guys.

I get more worried about you by the day, on your non-clarity days that is.

And more worried about the quality of what your 'having as a sociable party favour only'

I suppose I could start some kind of pot growing operation in there. My garage is: insulated, finished, lighted, heated, air conditioned, and completely detached from the house. It's "L" shaped so it would be simple to partition half of it off and use it for a "shop". Counterfeiting? I'd stick to just $1 and $5 bills. No sense in getting greedy. I can go out to eat, spend $15 or so and pay with three $5 bills. I could just use them in vending machines and bill changers too. Meh...

Hilarious. I still take my hat off for Deeplist doing all of what he is doing the legal way. Looks as though he is very knowledgeable about cars as well and has to be a specialist with Ford Mustangs. There has to be a unique demand for buying/selling/maintaining those cars to discerning collectors. Or have a Website with all kinds of specialist information and how-to manuals.

Get wealth, healthy and happy ...

 

[trenzterra]

Buy a car, and maybe start a family.

In Singapore, a car costs about US$80,000, and that's before gas, maintenance, road tax and insurance.

I find that extremely hard to believe.

 

[deanhills]

I find that extremely hard to believe.

Depending what car one is buying I don't think it is too farfetched. I've heard in the UAE that the cost of living in Singapore is really high and when I Googled it found an ExpatSingapore article on cost of owning cars:

Be warned: it is very expensive to own and drive a car in Singapore. Wary of the fact that uncontrolled growth in the number of vehicles will result in traffic jams in land and road scarce Singapore, the government has implemented a range of measures to manage car ownership and usage. These include the Certificate of Entitlement (COE), Vehicle Quota System (VQS), road taxes and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP). All motor vehicles must be registered with the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The article is a real eye-opener. Am glad I'm not living in Singapore. All of a sudden my annual Road Safety Test and registration of my car in the UAE has become dead easy compared to Singapore where there are so many prerequisites for owning a car and one has to jump through enormous hoops for each of those.

I still believe that's a load of crap. I can almost go out and buy TWO brand new 2011 Ford Shelby GT500s for 80 g's.

Not really. I've just spoken to my boss who is originally from Singapore. It is not worth owning a car in Singapore unless you're a millionnaire of sorts.

BUT I'm always open to be proven wrong.

 

[deeplist]

Okay, so anybody on here from Singapore who's interested in owning a brand new car, send me $80,000. I'll go to the dealership of your choice here in Auburn Indiana (Ford, Chevy, Chrysler) and buy any brand new car on the lot that you want. I'll SHIP the vehicle to you, and in exchange, you let me keep the money that's left over after the car is paid for and it's shipped to you.

PS: I'm actually serious.

Not that far-fetched, dude. Look into Japan's system, where it becomes incrementally more expensive to own older cars because of inspections and taxes.

my dream

my dream is to touch other people's lives.:wave::angel:

 

[themoose]

I wonder what the import tax on cars in Singapore is?

A [url="http://singapore.xpatxperience.com/vehicles/singapore_coe.shtml]quick Google[/url] suggests it's 31%, plus Certificate of Entitlement (seems to be $10,000 - $35,000), plus Additional Registration Fee which is 110-140% of the value of the car.

So $80,000 for a lower-range car sounds about right.

 

[deeplist]

I'd be moving outta there pretty damn fast if that's the case.
