As always, I think this is about the worst place you can pose this question.
This is a honda board, by nature its inhabited by people driving ECONOMY cars who are struggling to make a living. Most are twenty-somethings or less, still living with their parents and haven't yet been made to fend for themselves away from mother and father goose.
Ever notice when a poster asks about a luxury car on the boards and whether it is a worthy purchase, there's always a resounding no around here because of the costs involved? Thats because most here can't afford those costs, so to them its highly unrealistic to purchase an expensive car thats going to have expensive maintenance and parts cost. Same idea when you're asking about how to make money.
I'm young but I do alright for myself. Does doing "alright for myself" suffice in the "real world" when I'm out on my own? Right now it probably doesn't, because I'd just be scraping by. As is, I'm living with my parents right now, working part time making anywhere from $10,000-$20,000 a year (A tip business, serving, that I've only been involved with for about 6 months so I'm unsure of what my return will be after 1 year) without a degree and without any real living expenses. For me, since pretty much all this money is being banked and I'm attending school full time its doing well. Unfortunately most my age won't even see that much money working for $6-$12 an hour part time.
With all that said, I don't believe anyone here yet to have a great finnacial status or the knowledge and know how to make fruitful investments yet. Most here are blue collar workers or even students.
