I will be semi retired in about 10 years at the age of 51..I would like to know what you think about an offer from a friend of mine who owns property in Mexico(Cabo).he owns a boat here on the east coast..we are both avid fisherman(salt water)..he will be retiring about the same time as me..after he retires he is going to move to Cabo and will be running a charter out of Cabo.he needs help with the boat/an assistant he says to me...
My question is..what would you do Mr. Phobia??if you loved Cabo(like I do)and fishing..and the relative cheapness of living in Mexico..problem is..most of your family lives on the northern and southern east coast..

Thank you Mr.Phobia,

Have you thought about opening up a cockfighting ring in Raytown?

How do you put that on a resume though. That's one of those skills you really have to see....

I can't even figure out what I'm gonna do, how should I know what you should do?

Did you save any of the $500 to invest or did you blow it all on beer?

Any serious ideas?


Pick up the phone and call me tomorrow ......... Do you still have my # ?

I'm very curious why you are reluctant to do construction. Was it difficulty in collecting your fee? Was it working for people who don't really know what they are asking you to do? Was it too physically demanding?

Ok, I know you didn't ask me but I can't see any reason you wouldn't move to Cabo. Maybe I don't understand the importance of where the family lives. :shrug: I'm guessing any close family members would make special effort to visit you in Cabo but I could be wrong there.
In any case, if you don't like it you could always move back.

Yes, yes, no. I don't market well either. I'm a small company and I want the high end client. I rarely get them. I think construction was something I fell back on when I was in a bad spot. I thought it was temporary until I found out I had a knack for it. I've had so many disappointments in the past couple years that we've decided that maybe I should try something different, with more upside.

It's not like I'm getting rid of my equipment. I can always fall back on it again if need be.

Why don't you try flipping houses?

That way you decide the designs and materials and your fee is pretty much guaranteed (assuming you buy well).

Phobia 12-23-2006 01:16 AM

Flipping isn't quite as easy as it looks on TV. Especially not in the midwest. It's very, very competitive.

el borracho 12-23-2006 01:23 AM

Nothing is as easy as it appears on television. That doesn't mean that it isn't possible or that you shouldn't try it. Or maybe you have tried it. :shrug:

Perhaps you could become a real estate agent?

Phobia,
Move futher south and set up a puppy mill(a nice one) that breeds those little ****ing lap dogs. Have you seen the price they get for those little furballs?
