<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Merc Crazy, post: 1246281, member: 27417&quot;]Friend of mine runs a water ice (You might call it italian ice) shop.&nbsp; He bought it this Feb, opened in April, and plans to be open through the second week of October.&nbsp; We hung out probably 4-5 times a month before he bought it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen him three times in the seven months since, save when I went there to get some ice cream or water ice.&nbsp; He&#039;s busting his ass... and barely scraping by.&nbsp; Told me for his 7 months of work, he&#039;s made about $30k in profit... and he still has to pay taxes on that $30k come the end of the year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Drago, no offense, but you have no idea what you&#039;re getting into with running your own business.&nbsp; It&#039;s not easy, at least not for the first few years, and if it is, that just means you&#039;re bankrupting yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>To further what I&#039;m saying here, try to open a restaurant with $40k.&nbsp; That might buy you all of the equipment for the kitchen.&nbsp; Then, you&#039;ve got tables, chairs, lights, windows, paint, flooring, bathrooms, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
