Scheming

I love scheming. I love trying to think up different ways to make a few extra $$$, all the while minimizing the time/effort needed to make said extra $$$.

I've had all sorts of ideas pop in me head over the years, and I've never really jumped on any of them. I need to get me arse buckled down and get on one of them. I'm just not really sure which one to jump on.

It's also kinda tough when you were a pretty large jackass and managed to pile on a fairly large chunk of consumer debt. So I ain't exactly got a lot of $$$ laying around, just sitting there to invest in said schemes.

Alls I knows is that there has got to be a better way to make a living. And I'm not complaining about being a veterinarian. I like the job. I just don't like the idea of having to go to work each and every day. Because it's not good to have all your eggs in one basket, now is it? There are a ton of "what-ifs" that could happen, and I need to get me arse some added security.

Here's my dream set up: I'd find additional sources of income, in addition to me day job. That way I could seriously cutback on the day job thing, and have more of what I really want: freetime.

Cuz basically, I'm a bum. I'd like to stop and smell the roses every once in a while. I'd like to take a vacation, that isn't confined to 5.4 days, cuz I've gotta get my arse back to work. I'd like to be able to "work", but not on a specific, rigid schedule.

I'd like to be able to get to a project when I feel like it. Not like having to be @ work at 7:58 A.M. and have my first appointment at 8:00, with the next one at 8:14, and etc.

I'd like to be able to do things on my own time schedule. For instance, let's say that I had something come up, and I couldn't start project A until 9:27 A.M. At my current job, that just doesn't cut it. But if I had other sources of income, it could very well cut it, because they'd be much more flexible in schedule. And if I wanted to work on the project until 2 in the morning, then so be it. I can't exactly do that in the current job either.

So, basically, I'd like to take some of the eggs that I have in my basket, and place them on other assorted ventures. Ones that require minimal $$$ and not a ton of time, since holding down a full time job is pretty time consuming as it is.

One such idea that has been rumbling through my mule brain is an odd one. My brother and I have been talking about buying a car wash. My brother works for one; in fact, he's the manager at a $2.5 million dollar one. This business is bringing in a TON of $. It's one of the top car wash businesses in the state.

So my plan is this: Bubba and I buy a car wash. Split it 50-50 in ownership. Then, I will have him be the manager of it. He would basically be doing the same job that he's doing now, only he'd make more money, and it would be a much better deal in the long run.

So, the only problem is: how to get financing. And where to put the car wash. And how much we are willing to risk. And how much time I'd be willing to invest in it.

But, if our car wash would be 1/2 as profitable as the one that he's working at, we'd be doing very, very well.

But, I also may be full of crap, and just scheming, scheming, scheming.

I could also just go back to being a pimp playa, a true money maka. Like they say, "Pimpin' ain't easy."

Keep on keepin' on.
