Ok, so all this talk of finding a lucrative/part-time/work when I want to work/while the kids are still kids, has got me thinking....and mostly it is about starting my own business.
We live in an area where there are opportunities for several businesses. Unfortunately, they are all going to require capital upfront and that is something we are short on. But, I have started the ball rolling. Living in Florida, there is an abundance of retired folks. So, seeing as DW is a Pediatrician, there is also a shortage of home health care items aimed to the child. All the peds docs are always shorthanded with bilirubin blankets, so I have put in a request for a quote from a couple manufacturing companies. Also, there are a couple other items, but the blankets would be the hot item. Whether there is any money in it, I don't know yet, but if I can start my own business, then we can have that as a tax advantage- with it's many write-off/allowances/deductions. If there is no money in just blankets, I might look into care for the retired folks.
I haven't got any idea how this really works, like billing and getting paid, but I am willing to figure it out if it looks promising.
Other ideas, the town we live in has already got nearly 2500 building permits for new homes on record for this year alone(with another 5000+, in the works). It is growing terribly fast. The only Chuck E Cheese in this area just closed(it was 25 miles away from our town), but still there are tons of kids that would love to drag their parents to see the big rat for a party.
There are only two liquor stores in this town, both of which are on the north end of town. We live on the south end, and there is a couple areas where it would go real good- like next to the bowling alley. Anyway, it seems there is always business for a liquor store.
There is also no bicycle shop in this town, and we live next to the largest AFB wilderness reserve in the nation. There are literally hundreds of miles of trails to be ridden, but no bike shops. The closest one is about 25 miles away.
So, I have wonderful ideas but the thought of sinking $$ into them makes my stomach swim. I honestly think that all of them would make money, I am just not sure how much and how fast, as we would most likely not be here in five years to find out. I suppose I could sell.
If you are still reading, thanks, I am just throwing out thoughts and ideas and rambling everywhere. Maybe when I come back and read this again it will hit me....the path I should take to being 'master of my own domain'.
