I think it's one thing to work there during the summers (I worked 40 hour weeks starting when I was 12 - I began working in the warehouse and with maintenance and worked in the office later on) but once I was out of college back in 2005 I came back home and ran a sports card wholesaling business me and a friend had started a few years prior. 

You all are right - I wont go the public shaming route - it does give a hint of satisfaction to think about it - as I've stated a few local area sports bars have done this with great success when things are damaged or stolen.I just got off the phone with an old college friend that has been an attorney in the Marine Corp JAG division.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

In my opinion, I think it is so effective in real estate because investing is such a “team based” sport and there is a limited amount you can do by yourself.

But in this case, it didn't, for a couple of reasons 1) @Alex Craig (while his choice in sports teams is questionable, his knowledge of Memphis and Little Rock real estate is not) made a great point about some good B class areas being just down the street.  

I would imagine there are  people saving well over $100 / week because they can't go out and spend money on drinks/ restaurants, sports events ( $12 beer anyone?
