Shut up. I'm trying to be subtle and you're ruining it. Dick.

Seriously though....I actually like what he's doing for the most part, I just don't understand the need to put that much money into it rather than doing it on a smaller scale with a more modest/affordable home, vehicle, etc. If this whole thing works out the way he says it will, then this family will still be on solid ground in 5 years, except that they'll have lower property taxes, lower utilities, lower vehicle maintenance/fuel costs but presumably the same income. That will allow them to put more money into savings/investments/etc and build a more solid financial foundation for the future. Shoudn't that be the ultimate goal?

Sarge, you have no concept of home valus in NJ. They need the SUV with 4 kids as I would never ever condemn anyone to a minivan. The taxes are a little high, but the budget price on the utes is 322/month (electric and gas). We did find it rather important to make sure the kids are in the right school district. The 100K annual, is based on an existing business with both annual contract and repeat customers. This guy averaged about 32K for the last 3 years, his wife, 12K. Even with this income, he managed to put away 3200 the past several years with the goal being to own his own business.

Couldn't give you up to the minute details on NJ real estate values, but I've lived in the north east and have enough friends and family that live in NJ to have a decent idea of what a half mil will get you. But what I do know is that there aren't many half million dollar homes out there with 8 ft ceilings, single story with less than 2000 sqft on a half acre lot.

Farg it. You're an idiot and I have you on ignore for a reason. Shame on me for seeing you post something in this thread and opting to read what you posted.

Are they "bad" girls?

Quick update. The "protege" has signed 3 longterm contracts with multi location clients since he took over. That will triple net approximately 35K. Projected annual net profit is now $88,000 AFTER paying his $80K salary!

I volunteered for Tide "Loads of Hope" but it wasn't what I expected.

Just got back from NJ (I have been transferred to SC). I looked at the books. Things are going great. In fact, I was presented with a 10K payback check. The CC I joined here in Charleston, is interested in doing the same thing down here, this program might turn into a snowball.
