Oh, by the way, if you’re coming into a windfall of money and don’t want to blow it on stupid shit, keep in mind that there’s a reason why people start businesses with other people’s money: Depending on what report you read, it’s estimated that up to 70% of startups fail within 5 years. I wouldn’t start a business with your own money if I were you. Invest it, buy real estate, buy coke and hookers, just don’t piss it away on something so likely to leave you with nothing. If you really want to start a business, hide that money :snky: and roll the dice with investor’s money. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/business-ideas/32552)._
