I don't eat out a lot or go on fancy vacations (I do travel), I don't buy a new car every 4-5 years (I do keep it up, but my first car was ~20 years old when I traded it in this spring). 

Note, I speak of this as an immigrant household.To expand on #3; international trade is good.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

This is both a business move and a workforce development initiative, targeting trades as a critical part of economic growth.

Investing does need to be approached more like a business than just a simple stock trade.

Unfortunately, people in the trades are often good at their trade but poor at managing their business.

Quote from @Paul Gupta: Hi, in California, For jobs requiring a license, there was CSLB (contractor state licensing board) which would give either a General Contractor license, or specialty licenses by trade (~60 specialties such as concrete, welding tile, ) https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/licensing_classific...My Q: does Maryland and DC area have similar requirements? 

I kind of traded my 20s for the freedom of not working that started at 41.

IF its not online you have to go to tthe courthouse and use their computers.

I've done this so many times it is crazy, so speak with experience.Also in small towns trades can be tricky.
