I'm 20 years old. I want to buy a house in 4-5 years. This past year, I've saved $10k and put $320 into retirement every month.
What do I do to get there? Also:
>im in the military
By the time my enlistment ends I'll have at least $40k saved up unless I contribute more to my TSP.
What do I do to reach my goal? What else can I do financially?
>>1080672
Do you do your banking with usaa? If so you'll have an easy time buying a house as long as you save up. They also have great investing tools and good savings plans.
>>1080742
Not USAA but Navy Federal
>>1080672
Sounds good man. Just stick to the plan and don't do anything stupid like buy a car. You should be able to take another 10k out without penalty from your retirement plan to go towards a down payment if you need to. I wouldn't feel too guilty about it because your home is still part of your retirement plan.

bought a screen from eBay and it's kinda faulty, edges get darker and darker the more it warms up.
now, i want to sell it on eBay but shipping costs me like 35$.
Any ideas what to do?
for how much would i be able to sell it?
Would anyone buy it with that much shipping?
Sup /biz/,
So without trying to brag too much, I'm incredibly good at economics, but I'm terrible at dealing with people.
I follow a homestudy that recognised by my ministry as legit so I don't have to deal with people, but is a homestudy degree worth anything?
I also work at an actual business right now if that helps.
>>1080584
Yeah, they are worth about as much as a regular degree. My roommate is in the finance sector and got his degree online. He's a faggot though.
>>1080603
Sweet, I like my study so far so I didn't want to quit, biz degree here.
He does sound like a faggot.
What is the appropriate way to approach people regarding investing in my business?
I have designed several products with the intent to patent and sell them over the past 3 years, however patents are expensive and at least two of my designs have been recently rolled out by big name companies.
I could apply for provisional patents but they only last a year from date of file and, I will not be able to pay my attorney to file a non-provisional patent within a year.
Should I file provisional patents and pitch the product to companies to buy me out, or simply...

Skip the attorney.
All you need to know is that the core of the economy is trust. If people don't trust you, they don't buy anything off of you

If you won't support your products, then why should I as an investor?
Okay,

Simple yet incredibly useful idea that has absolutely 0 in the market.

Over 32 million people live in Australia. There's 4 possibilities on why there isn't even 1 person with your idea:
1. Unexpected complications were found during research caused it to be scrapped
2. Someone tried it and went bankrupt
3. Not useful/profitable enough
4. Not simple enough

Anyone on /biz/ play Wall Street Raider? I'm just getting into it, seems like a lot of fun and a pretty deep financial/business simulation despite the pretty aged looking interface.
You can get the demo here. Demo is limited to two years and has made up business names.

My past experience has been working as a skilled labourer/window fitting and befor that I was working in a small family owned off licence where I basically managed it as I was left in charge a lot of the time to see what we needed replacing and go buy it.
Now I've come up with this but I don't know if I should add more to it
>I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, reliable, responsible and hard working person who is easy to get on with. I am a mature team worker and adaptable to all challenging situations. I am able to work well both in a team environment as well as being left alone to use my own initiative. I am able to work well under pressure and adhere to strict deadlines.
Another problem I have is that I have been told I should do follow up calls and to be honest the only places I have ever really phoned is agencies.But the main reason for this is that most of the jobs I look at they don't contain much information about where you are even applying for.On sites like indeed/reed a lot of the time they jsut want you to apply through their website.
How do I find a job where I can work my self up from nothing ? I don't want to work in the construction industry and that seems to be the easier place to work your self up if you have the money to go and do courses.
use the self-employment = small business meme

I'm thinking about starting a business using heavy equipment and was wondering if anyone here has experience?
A couple of options and questions but the 2 ways i could go about it is either get a loan for about 300k worth of 2nd hand equipment ( Excavator, Dozer, Dump truck ) or rent brand new equipment for a huge monthly fee.
The second hand market is damn good at the moment and I was gonna check out some repossessed machinery auctions and basically hoping I could get an absolute bargain, but while the prices are good for older equipment I'm not sure...

A few years ago I used jewpons to get some $25 and $50 gift cards. All together probably like $300 worth of gift cards. Got tired of driving farther to CVS and rite aid stores I've never been to

Is there literally any supplement wholesale producer that allows drop shipping and custom labeling, inside of the EU?
You know, those that produce caffeine pills or vitamin supplements, and allow you to slap your own logo on it.
All those I've found are in burgerland. If they're in yurop it seems you either get to dropship, or have a custom label.
I am also interested in this.
Hi Biz
Ive found a good niche. Im going to start an ebay/fb store to sell my goods.
Is there anything you wished you would have known when you first started or any general tips?
Thanks
How do you people find time for making money? I've tried to plan out my schedule, but got depressed when I saw how little time in the day I actually have.

>6:30 - 7:00- shower and groom
>7:00 - 9:00- read

Oh, and this is my schedule just for tomorrow, but it doesn't change much most days. Maybe free up some haircut and a little gym time (I do cardio for less time than I do weights), but that's it.
>>1079903
2 hours to read? 1 hour to make and eat breakfast? 1 hour 15 minute haircut?
You get a haircut every day? Why?
