Some stuff he had to sit on for a while, some stuff he didn't always do well on. Nobody gets it right all the time. Point is, he kept trying and he knew many people, eventually became wealthy, not just survived, although that would be enough for me. I garden my entire city lot, plus a friend lets me garden & hunt on his 20 acres, another lets me hunt on his 100acre tree farm. Plus I fish the local lakes, especially ice fishing, fish keep longer and taste best then. We shop at thrift stores and garage sales almost exclusively, no retail, no sales taxes. Next I will try selling on eBay, who knows, it just might work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-9270543713345046302009-11-23T07:30:38.988-08:002009-11-23T07:30:38.988-08:00Sirius, it's not necessarily trading on the mi...Sirius, it's not necessarily trading on the misery of others.

Those who didn't see it coming will be in distress, selling their prized possessions at fire-sale prices. It may be the family car, it may be clothing, it may be real estate. Buy it cheap, fix it up, sell for a modest markup. Of course you will need to have savings to do this.

A container of yogurt will show the cost per ounce, so as the volume decreases but the item cost remains the same, the price-per-unit will will increase, thus showing the inflation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-63982352438849026422009-11-20T21:41:53.086-08:002009-11-20T21:41:53.086-08:00Great advice!

Doing something, anything even if it's not the 'best' thing, is better than nothing. It may start out as one thing and grow into another or likely, a multitude of things. I'll learn as I go. And a big Yes to your point, that it is more how you do it, than the 'what' you do. Marketing any product or service is key. Look up 'marketing'. It means many things. <br /><br />aAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-55537997283639350572009-11-19T21:24:12.846-08:002009-11-19T21:24:12.846-08:001) you'll have to learn to deal with people an...1) you'll have to learn to deal with people and haggling.<br /><br />2) if you have a skill do that, if you don't sell.<br /><br />3) when you start a business, you'll work very long hours for very little pay. forgot the social life, bars, restaurants... after awhile you won't miss it.<br /><br />finally,<br /><br />4) know your market, prices and the going rates.Buzz Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473922160424186603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-20314013796115560192009-11-19T19:58:56.101-08:002009-11-19T19:58:56.101-08:00Nothing in life worth having is easy.Nothing in life worth having is easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-28494047392748907852009-11-19T18:43:16.742-08:002009-11-19T18:43:16.742-08:00if there is a easy way to make money everyone woul...if there is a easy way to make money everyone would be doing itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-85728723859081806752009-11-19T18:14:57.872-08:002009-11-19T18:14:57.872-08:00You can also begin raising food.

I remember that you provided many excellent examples of small business ideas that seemed to work well during the crisis in Argentina.<br /><br />I recently have been thinking that some of the ideas for micro-loan candidate businesses might generate some ideas for small home businesses. These businesses include home food preparation, clothing manufacturing, cell phone call service (wherein a person with a cell phone and coverage collects a service fee from local users for usage), etc. Many, many other possible opportunities can be researched by visiting the web sites of the charities offering micro-loans.<br /><br />When we realize that the world as we know it has fundamentally changed, we have to decide to change our perception of what's the right thing to do... or change our world by moving somewhere else.<br /><br />You know, guy... the thing I value most about your info is that some of it applies to us all, some to bug-outers, some to homesteaders, and some to survivers-in-place such as myself.
