Hey Casey,Given that you have a big family and a full time job, have you considered investing in a more passive investment such as an oil and gas mineral rights royalty fund?

With 4 cooks in the kitchen you'll likely have disagreements at some point so make sure you all get everything down on paper now.

Example the administration claims we had a 5m build in oil last week, but they are releasing 7m barrels from the SPR, so it is actually a decline of 2m barrels.

Orange oil for the termites.Ionizer in bedroom.

Perhaps what @Daisja Vance mentioned is at different level.I know lot of conglomeration outside of USA and the way they do business is super crazy, in one cycle they could become millionaire, the next cycle they lost everything and in the next cycle they become billionaires again.The way they do business is usually by making a 150% LTV loan, by buying a business, it could be oil wells, coal mining, or a forest ; depending on the sector, some sectors is going to a mega bullish year in 10 year period, buy coal mining for  three bucks, only to sell it for three hundred ten years later.

During the 1990s , the highest paying job on engineering was around oil engineering sector, but that's because that sector already mature enough.

Plus they want you to start the laundry, start the dishwasher (we don't cook on vacation), take out the trash, etc.

Take another industry....say oil production..... automobile production..... widget manufacturing... whatever..... and have a bunch of separate companies pool their data and ALL of them decide that if they ALL increase their prices,.... limit their supply....... then they ALL profit since they set the market for their product.

I’ve heard some wholesalers doing the following: - Submitting a comprehensive list of interior pictures, exterior pictures- Submitting pictures of all the things wrong, that needs fixing, or updating, with a description of what is wrong- Submitting 2 to 3 properties you have comped to arrive at the numbers, and then make sure they know it is their responsibility to verify- Creating a list where you describe the age and condition of the furnace, boiler, water heater, oil tank and all other mechanicals.

If you know how to change your oil in the car, do you still bring it in to get changed?
