Does the United States have a spending problem? Obviously, but I really wanted to talk about how the cost of living crisis is presenting itself in your community. That relates to this article because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If all of you have no disposable income, no savings, and a job market that can’t support your current cost of living… What happens if you lose your job? Do you default on loan obligations along with America because we are stretched to the edge. Should we vote in members of congress to pass more tax breaks for private jets?Are mods whack? Let me know in the comments.

    Oh yeah, I’m all for going direct to the consumer if you can. It’s a big layer of infrastructure and effort, but it’s worth it. I can’t imagine trying to make a living on wholesale margins.

    Setting up the credit card fulfillment is probably the most complicated part, so once that’s done, you’re able to take cards from any other business you do as well. It gives you a lot more credibility than using some dumb app.

    Then you have to set up a method of selling, but that’s not hard on eBay or Etsy, at least to get started.

    Then you have to attract business. THAT’S the hard part.
