You can lose money, or make money, there is NO guarantee you'll make money.

If you got an inheritance and want to start a business, invest in a Quizno's franchise or something, especially if you know NOTHING about trucking AND US regulations in general.

They say the secret to leaving trucking with a million dollars in your pocket is to start with two million!

My neighbor lost his azz on a Quiznos. Franchise fees suck. Invest in what you know and if you dont know anything buy real estate or mutual funds and get a real job. Lot less stressful, especially the comfort of knowing you dont really need your job.

Well, if we got it for fifty cents on the dollar it would take us twice as long to go broke as they did I think :shock: ?

I purchased apartment over seas recently after a'lot of debating and now am really happy that i did so since the place where i bought it at will be part of European Union in about a year or two where its value will double five times over compared to what i bought it for. Real Estate is the way to go!!!
Amen.
