My grandfather always said, "If you can"t wear it sleep on it or eat it, you don't need it."

I think people started spending money on electronics, phones, and service plans and just don't work in their yards anymore. Our entertainment has switched.

Self employment is not a dead concept. A lot of great stuff out there comes from small business and nothing says that your ideas can't grow into more if you find your niche.

Live your dream, if you fail at least you tried....
