100K cant start most businesses with any type of complex business plan.
ONLY 100K cant be invested and think you can make it be enough to retire on unless you add more over the years while compounding.
Im in a similar boat. i called a friend who works for a wealth management firm and they told me that im not wealthy enough for them to take me on (im not surprised). He told me thatthey go through edward jones in a roundabout way and the first thing i need to do is go to EJ and see if what they have to offer in terms of services is right for me.
I plan to retire with 6-7M and live without worries. hence why i pack away my money now to invest and compund. Right now, i am thinking i want to put some money in mutual funds and some money in ETFs. I am not going to get into buying particular stovks right now. My dad is a day-trader and I dont have enough time to do it.... or knowledge. AND, buy-and-hold is a nono this day and age.
My best advice (kidding):
1. who knows.. start franchising fast food places like the family in the Blindside... they did well in that move (i gest).
2. Be like me....Buy watches, add Diamonds, mean mug.
