It has been a busy year since I started to get involved in e-scrap in January. It is not a full time job for me, but I do have 2 other small part time business's and a full time 40hr job that pays very well. I do this b/c I am 32 now and I want to retire at 55. Everything I own is paid off, house, cars, boats, etc.. b/c I worked hard. Ive sent 2 pallets in to Mario so far, and I am almost ready to send another one in real soon. I am working currently on tear down 7 pallets of traffic control boxes and camera equipment I won at a local auction in march (Just now being able to get to it). I built a 650ft detached garage that I do my sorting in and storage. Im lucky to have very little competition in my area with e-scrap, so that helps. I will not mention my location b/c I know this is a public forum and eyes are watching I am sure of. Combined with all my home business's and work, I can clear 6 figures roughly, but if I lost my full time job, that would get cut in half and my benefits would be gone. So its a balance for me. I want to work for myself full time, but health insurance and 401k are about the only things keeping me there.
