XJAG - I Have Thought Along Those Lines
Yes, I have already started to think along the lines of finding other items to buy low and sell high. The problem is that more and more people are doing this than when the economy was better - at least it seems that way to me.
Recently, I purchased some dishes for $12.84 (tax included) and turned around $285 of clear profit on them. They turned out to be a rare pattern of a very well known maker. I am trying to learn the book market seeing how I am in a prime location for books. Within about 13 miles of my home are a small Goodwill and a huge Goodwill Retail Outlet. Also, I have already located some other venues I think could be beneficial for books.
As for cashing the IRA, I have decided to go back to college this Fall. Seeing how a Masters or another Bachelor's degree does not make sense at this point, I have decided to pursue an Associates Degree in an IT related field. The college I plan on attending is well-established and highly accredited.
After filling out the FAFSA, and determining what financial aid I may qualify for, I will likely cash some of the IRA out. My unemployment will end as of July 1st and I will have to live off of savings or a part-time job if I can. Of course, a good full-time job still trumps just about everything. Yet, I would still like to get back in school if possible.
Thanks for the advise my friend. I do appreciate it.
