I\'m sick of work! alternative ways to make a living?
Ever since I discovered ebay a few years ago I was amazed at how much money I could save by selling things I don't need. I used to buy a lot of video games which cost 50 bucks. Play them for a few months and sell them used while getting over half my money back! I never seriously thought about the opportunities in this until now. What if I were to buy things in surplus and sell on ebay? Also keep my eyes open at yard sales and flea markets. If I was able to sell 20 items per day and make a profit of 5 bucks on each item after fees and shipping costs I could make 500 dollars or more a week. I am very sick of my job. I go in at 10pm and stuck there til 8am. The hours suck, everyone is treated like a dog, they dont care about safety and its very exhausting. I bring home less than 500 a week but I have great insurance. i just dont think I can handle a job like this for the next 25 years. Its hard to see my girlfriend and family with these hours. when i am home I have to sleep. This really looks like soemthing I could do. I know it wont make me rich but I could do other odd jobs for some quick cash too. one of the problems would be health insurance though. I know very little about running my own business but this is something I would love to do. I'm still living at home with parents and I probably wont be going anywhere until I get married someday. Having a job where I tell myself what to do sounds so much better than what I have now. anyone have some good advice to pass along? I know many other people have done it so hopefully I can too.
thanks
Chris
