Maybe I should move to the South West USA

Lots of room out here LOL  It's not really a desert. Las Vegas means "The meadows"  Like an oasis... but the Mojave desert has a lot of life

QuoteThat's one thing that I like about Parts the USA. (as long as things do not get or go like as the conspiracist describe.)

Most of the problems are in the Eastern states where the black vs white issue is being stirred up...  we are not seeing sh!t like that on the west coast yet and we have just as many blacks and lots of hispanics... so lets hope it stays on the east coast :P

Out here in Nevada we are surrounded by the top military bases... they are here because it is hard for any enemy to get here :P

But I can drive 30 minutes in any direction from my house and be so isolated it looks like the planet is deserted  LITERALLY

People who have never been out here are shocked at the hundreds of thousand miles of vacancy



Quoteis that in the South West ... you can live in those mobile type homes and generally not worry about being cold...I imagine your heating bills are very low over the year..

True that  We do get winter, we get a lot of snow in the mountains This is a good idea  LOL Warm in the valley but 20 minutes drive to the snow




QuoteThose are reasonable prices to at least have a roof over your head and somewhere to keep ones things.

If you are not picky where you live ie if your income is based from online sales, you can find cheap homes

My heating bill is practically ZERO (I do get lazy sometimes and turn on the heat)   Got this beauty from John's mine cabin   


zorgon

QuoteOne could possibly obtain a similar type mobile home...but many who do not have a brick home live in Caravans...mobile or static ones. That's not so bad in mild years or summer..but in cold years...or winter.. its not very comfortable. and you cannot store that much compared to what Id call a standard normal type house.

One can buy 2nd hand Mobiles or caravans..at reasonable prices. but maybe not as cheap or as good a deal as you have shown in your posts.

What we call 'mobile homes' here are actually potable houses  They are pretty well planted to stay put but can be relocated.  There are however many retired folkes who sold their house and just live in RV Trailers so they can drive across the west, staying at parks. I hear they do this in Australia too

You can then live almost anywhere :D



Yes they are cheaper out here  but then we have millions of them for sale and the bigger ones are extremely comfortable. Trailer parks are cheap rent  but you have freedom to move when you want to

Don't forget that the UK is about the size of just one state



QuoteUsing the Internet to make my Income. ! and have no job at any specific company..where I am held 40 hrs a week.

That is what I do now... use the internet to make a living. Only I get lazy  LOL I need to focus on sales more so I can get my buffer back  Being on the edge is bad because when the AC goes out your screwed :P

QuoteThere are many I know who do make a good living via the internet and travel the world...its now a very real possibility...but one has to have either a good idea or business that works on the net. and be able to run it...Running it may only be applicable to certain people, like normal businesses in general and that may be the issue.

Well SELLING online is the way to start  You DO NOT need a business.  You can sell on EBAY and ETSY. The UK is full of old antiques and trinkets.  Here is an example

This is Ebay UK 



http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Antique-Hipolito-Brass-Camping-Stove-Original-Tin-with-Scouting-Design-/351427376958

If you have transportation and can look for stuff in old shops etc (do you guys have yard sales?)  buy cheap  list on line and wait for it to sell.   I do not use the auction pricing  I set my price with the 30 day buy it now with 'make an offer' listing.  I can then preset an offer I will automatically accept or refuse  or leave that open.

I look online for similar prices and make mine lower...  If it doesn't sell I will drop price

Here is my EBAY store (I had 650 items on it but they expire after 30 days so I need to relist them. I always wait for the free listing offers so it costs me nothing to list them) http://stores.ebay.com/Land-of-Legends-Gallery

You find stuff post it and wait for the money  Post Office picks up at the door

QuoteIf one had huge money maybe to buy several homes..not always expensive ones... but reasonable places in locations that I like. so that I can have the main things that I would need stored.

Over here people will buy a fixer upper house.... They get it cheap (tax sales) and move in. Live in it a few months while they do the repairs  then list it on the market. When it sells they do it again. In 5 years you can flip many properties

But yeah as you get older that option is not so appealing

But online sales of STUFF  there is no limit... All you need is a computer to do the RESEARCH on what sells and what has value

Example Old hardware from damaged trash bin furniture   I spot an old dresser on trash days... it is on the curb waiting for the trash man... It is beyond repair...

I toss it in my trailer... 20 minutes later the dresser is cut up firewood  (free energy :P)

HOWEVER  the old wood screws  and the drawer handles  have VALUE   I sold a small handful of old rusty wood screws for $7.99 on Etsy  People buy them to restore antiques

The drawer handles generally sell for $8.50 a pair  (I keep it at that range)

This is my Etsy shop (needs updating too)  Etsy you list an item for .20 cents and it stays active for four months

https://www.etsy.com/shop/PegasusRC

All this stuff we find at Yard Sales and thrift stores.  The only problem I have is we find so much stuff we cannot sell it fast enough  :P I spent $52.00 last Wednesday (Thrift stores have 30% off senior discount on wed)   One of the items was a designer jacket brand new with tags that had the origianl price tag on it  I paid $19,99 (less discount) the tag was $108.00   I will easily get $50.00 on that from Ebay.  I could get more but it is better to stay low and move it

$9.99 Toy bear set yielded $250.00   but it is FUN looking for deals and treasures. We tend to keep the really good finds for ourselves. Those never lose value so are an investment for the future

I just bought a meteorite from a dealer in Ireland... Got lucky and no one else bidding  Also got a set of old castle skeleton keys  from the Isle of Skye

There is STUFF all over the world

You can go to the dollar stores  but certain items for a buck  then resell them on Ebay for a good profit

These for example



Dollar stores get limited lots of good stuff in  Once it is gone they never get more...  So those bottles $1.00 each   Sold 3 sets so far at $28.50 a set.  It takes time  but I have time  Just need to waste less posting :P

I will have to take some time to look at your last two posts.... I have considered Ebay in the past..
But I had quite a few other ideas come along that side tracked me many a time..and one got spoiled for choice in trying to determine what may be the better option.

Then unfortunately.. while still being overwhelmed with ideas...Some of the earlier ones that I had considered at the time.. dried up and no longer worked as they did... That along with some Major Life issues getting in the way as distractions..sometimes one missed the boat.

Some of the ideas I had looked into a few years ago involved in selling INFORMATION Products...

So having something like a Ebook or CD / DVD that had some unique info on them that people wanted...  then setting up websites and promoting the websites...

That's how many a person has made their fortune quickly on the internet with very easy and limited complications... But this was when it was easy to get  cheap advertising on a reasonable scale..

That I thought was a great business model..

But over time it became flooded...with maybe too many doing the same thing...and it became harder and required more new ideas and approaches to the earlier days.

In the Ideal world... say you had a great idea of something that you could create on a ebook or dvd or on a website that a downloadable products can be  obtained from after customers make payment for them. ..

and have a salesletter created to sell that product on the website with payment buttons so people could pay online...

That could almost be an ultimate business..

all you need do is promote it with ads each day..

You can even pay others to do it for you...

Thats the sort of Biz I was looking for..so that you do not have to keep looking for new stuff to sell like with ebay..

One guy I know had a special set of 22 dvds on a topic and sold them at £500 a time..

I seen him  make a Million in 2 yrs...

IT cost him about £1000/£2000 for a licence to own the product... and his abilities or expence to have a website and salesletter created..that may have been say £3000 to £5000.

He then used google ad words (Small ads on googles search engine under a specific related topic) when they were costing pennies to advertise.

This can still work, but there now much more competition. Unfortunately adwords cost much more  than they did say 5 to 8 yrs ago when he did it.

but it was an ideal biz that worked really well for him and hes travelled the world...

It was made out as anyone could do it.. and maybe that could be so... But there was quite a lot of a learning curve behind it... and skills required to learn effectively...

He was lucky in the way that he has his girlfriend  and Brother help him..and it turned out he was much cleverer than he initially made out...ie it was sold as if he was an average Joe who set up the biz... but he turned out to be university educated and a teacher status. so he was misleading people on his salesletter that he was someone who had been well in debt and had only had limited education..to sell his ideas to the people who visited his website to consider purchasing his products..

it was quite crafty how he went about it.

but that was a ultimate dream business.

The guy who sold him the idea made over £50 Million in 10 yrs..

Today many advice one to have a mentor or coach to help them learn and set up such businesses..and that is probably a good idea... but they can be expensive..and there is never any guarantee.

Oh Astro... I am so sorry to have misled you into thinking I cared one wit what aj has to say  - ever
I was being facetious
  aj only yells about what horror is next and how wonderful he is  for sharing
the only question about his shows are who is pulling the strings for the current one

well an maybe how much he is getting for it..

ETSY is limited to Vintage, Supplies, Hand Crafted items like Art etc

HOWEVER they do have a category for digital works  So you can sell Ebooks and other digital files on Etsy

I bought a collection of old Rosicrucian papers on a CD at Ebay  Home made but the material is not copyrighted so it is legal to collect and sell  Paid 28.95 for it because I needed one file on that


astr0144

I did suspect that was your motive  :)

I understand that after having now observed A.J for sometime now that ones view of him may have altered and maybe rightly so.

On a positive side...in my view.. at least he has made me aware of certain things through out his time that I would never have become aware about if I had not looked at his videos.

Again maybe I would have been better of not seeing them or wasting time thinking about or becoming concerned about what he preaches.  ???

It is quite an interesting location Vegas being between Lake Mead and the surrounding Mountains inc Mt Charleston Range... as well as the NTS / Nellis areas North of it.

I would have been tempted to consider Las Vegas a few yrs ago when I really wanted to know more about Area 51...but having spent so much time researching what we have done on PRC.. it no longer has the same appeal....

The expectations of finding more out about Aliens or UFOs has eroded over time to what it had once had been...unfortunately. Otherwise I would have really liked the idea of touring around that area in more detail.

Bob Lazar's story may still be true to keep that idea alive... but its not like it once was in the same way.

I don't think its easy to get in the USA today if you want to emigrate like it once was...maybe if I was an immigrant from surrounding countries..otherwise one has to apply through the channels..and I think they only allow so many in at set times and maybe only those with certain job skills that they require.

QuoteLots of room out here LOL  It's not really a desert. Las Vegas means "The meadows"  Like an oasis... but the Mojave desert has a lot of life

That is good to know that it is calm..and maybe mainly East Coast. I thought maybe LA could be also on the West Coast.

QuoteMost of the problems are in the Eastern states where the black vs white issue is being stirred up...  we are not seeing sh!t like that on the west coast yet and we have just as many blacks and lots of hispanics... so lets hope it stays on the east coast :P

Yes it is amazing how much land you have surrounding many of the South West Cities like Vegas.  One would think they could find some land and build ones own cabin .maybe on the edges of the desert.(If they could find materials)

I suspect the Govt / authorities don't easy allow anyone to set up house even on the desert  :-\

QuoteBut I can drive 30 minutes in any direction from my house and be so isolated it looks like the planet is deserted  LITERALLY

People who have never been out here are shocked at the hundreds of thousand miles of vacancy


Cooler Temp in the Winter mainly in Dec / Jan I believe between 50 to 60 degrees..rather than over 100 in July.

QuoteTrue that  We do get winter, we get a lot of snow in the mountains This is a good idea  LOL Warm in the valley but 20 minutes drive to the snow

That is good if generally these Homes are safe and secure..and cheaper and plenty of them to get good deals...Maybe could do with some of them being sent to UK where is some areas Housing is short.. and even wooden homes are better than nothing.

so many people cant afford or find homes in the UK and have to rent.  :( :(  its scandalous IMO.

QuoteWhat we call 'mobile homes' here are actually potable houses  They are pretty well planted to stay put but can be relocated.  There are however many retired folkes who sold their house and just live in RV Trailers so they can drive across the west, staying at parks. I hear they do this in Australia too

QuoteYes they are cheaper out here  but then we have millions of them for sale and the bigger ones are extremely comfortable. Trailer parks are cheap rent  but you have freedom to move when you want to

How did you do that ?  Place the UK over the USA Map ?  was it a find or did you use photoshop or something !  ???

QuoteDon't forget that the UK is about the size of just one state


The other things about considering moving to the USA as an outsider, is after seeing so many American movies and TV programs..many with Guns and Crime related... One would wonder is it even partly like that !  :o

That is the scary part of considering moving to new pastures.

As you guys all seem to be brought up with Gun Culture.. I get the impression that maybe how folk still deal with things should related issues arise.

something most folk from the UK would not easily take to I don't think !

What ever, that is very good that you are able to make your living on the Net..

As easy as It may seem to some.. again I suspect only a relatively small few can do it...

or it may take a lot of effort and time to learn to do it and start to build up the income that may seem a lot of effort for some who consider it.


QuoteThat is what I do now... use the internet to make a living. Only I get lazy  LOL I need to focus on sales more so I can get my buffer back  Being on the edge is bad because when the AC goes out your screwed :P

I had not been aware of ETSY..

But yes.. in the UK as an eg... there will be many items for sale that say may have appeal to maybe the people in the USA and Vice versa.

QuoteWell SELLING online is the way to start  You DO NOT need a business.  You can sell on EBAY and ETSY. The UK is full of old antiques and trinkets.  Here is an example

Yes that is a good idea and something I have considered...again many a thing came along and sidetracked me as I often thought that there were better options...

As long as you have a knack to spot some good potential items and can get them at a good price and you  can learn and do the process correct on ebay etc... yes I am sure over time one can build up to quite an income over time. its just getting started and doing it .. with some consistency.

we do have various charity shops in the Uk  that sell many an item or many an antique shop.... Car boot sales used to be big in the UK but maybe not like they were.. At one time one could go to the local tip and find all sorts.....Now UNFORTUNATELY...

that has all now become no longer allowed and the local tips are now like prisons in some ways.... With staff and sometimes cameras monitoring everything one does and fenced off at night with security..

There is so much waste...must be millions per yr in one tip in terms of value of some good stuff that goes to waste.  A real shame IMO. when times have been tough for so many.

QuoteIf you have transportation and can look for stuff in old shops etc (do you guys have yard sales?) buy cheap  list on line and wait for it to sell.   I do not use the auction pricing  I set my price with the 30 day buy it now with 'make an offer' listing.  I can then preset an offer I will automatically accept or refuse  or leave that open.



You seem to have got it worked out well.

Had you ever took a course on Ebay ?..there are some biz event seminars from ebay gurus on them at times in the UK.. one guy from USA used to be a regular..who taught it.

I like your ETSY store.... some interesting items.

QuoteI look online for similar prices and make mine lower...  If it doesn't sell I will drop price

Here is my EBAY store (I had 650 items on it but they expire after 30 days so I need to relist them. I always wait for the free listing offers so it costs me nothing to list them) http://stores.ebay.com/Land-of-Legends-Gallery

Thats much better than having to take them to the post office like I was led one had to do... makes it much more appealing if you can do it that way.. not sure if this applies in the Uk.. will have to enquire !



QuoteYou find stuff post it and wait for the money  Post Office picks up at the door


Sounds good, but I am not sure I know what a Fixer upper house is exactly !

but yes if you can buy something, do it up reasonably cheaply and sell on and do it a few times over... one can probably make quite a return in a few years if one has the right inclination and drive to do it... sometimes its the paperwork side of things that can be a pain in the process.

QuoteOver here people will buy a fixer upper house.... They get it cheap (tax sales) and move in. Live in it a few months while they do the repairs  then list it on the market. When it sells they do it again. In 5 years you can flip many properties


You do seem to do well. and have shown some good egs...

Its nice if one can travel a few times and find certain types of shops that may sell unusual items that may have appeal.. buy some items and sell at a better price...That would be good of one could do that as they made there way around certain countries if they have the travel bug in them...and can spot good bargains or the right things that will sell.

When I went to the USA a few yrs ago.. I stopped of at Indian Springs and found a shop selling Red Indian items that I thought were interesting... that I would have thought may have sold well on ebay in places where buyers may pay more for certain types of items that may otherwise be hard to obtain elsewhere.

QuoteAll this stuff we find at Yard Sales and thrift stores.  The only problem I have is we find so much stuff we cannot sell it fast enough  :P I spent $52.00 last Wednesday (Thrift stores have 30% off senior discount on wed)   One of the items was a designer jacket brand new with tags that had the origianl price tag on it  I paid $19,99 (less discount) the tag was $108.00   I will easily get $50.00 on that from Ebay.  I could get more but it is better to stay low and move it

Story of my life.

Not sure if I informed you all, but I recently quit my £1,500 pm office job to go work at Burger King for £400 pm. The only positive being more time to complete 'the story of my life', lmafo.

That seemed a reasonable salary Sinny the compared to many a job in the UK.

Id be surprised you would do that to work at B.K..

unless you have some real positive alternative aim.

I thought that you may be a bit young to write your life story !...as yet..

or is this a wind up !  :)

Not a wind up, but certainly a riske move on my behalf.
I wanted to change the direction I was going in and did so in dramatic fashion.
I can easily walk back into the office within the next year or two, I've already turned work down in the sector. I'm just trolling life atm. In a weird ungrouned state. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I was not sure if you had been at work or Uni  or maybe both...

I may  understand...Life's choices can be very hard to determine ...potentually we may have numerous options and trying to find the right path that one really may want can be quite a challenge.

Unfortunately often for most.. its very hard to find the right one and for various reasons the way things are.. these choices can be restricted.

I often have thought.. one can have 10 , or 100 choices... and only one may be what I really want.
But I am not sure what that is until I have looked into some in more detail.

Yea, I do uni on the side, but that's a few years from over.
Dunno, I was just having a few nihilistic months, and decided on a random one.
I don't know what I want in life, but I know what I dont want.

I mean £16,000 a year, or £6,000. I'm never going to be 'rich', either way, I've never cared for material possesions. So in my case, time is more valuable than money... And that office job ate away at all my time and all my life.

I' rather be a broke hippy than a reaonably broke stiff.

We'll see how it turns out if I still know you in a few years haha.

I had to google nihilistic...never heard of it before.
But I may understand your comment better.

If you like your Uni Course, could you not consider doing that full time as one alternative option. It would get you to that goal faster if you thought it was more a part of your plan .

Otherwise ... I know what its like to be in a Job you may dislike or that seems to have little meaning other than money.. it can seem quite demeaning or draining.

Unfortunately we need money to live what most consider the Average standard in our society..
but one can get by on much less.. and yes Time is often a key... we all have various perceptions of it...
and at various times thru out our life's.

As I got older and been thru various changes in my own life experience... when one looks back.. it can seem strange when one looks at what one has done in ones life or the choices one may have taken. Good or bad.

some seem a complete waste..others not so bad..
and in my case so far... I have not as yet obtained what I think id like to achieve..Many a thing I now believe I just was not born with what was needed to have even had a chance of succeeding even at my best as I am sure Millions or most of us realize at some point.

One questions what is ones purpose for being here and if there is something that one should be doing.
or the right thing for each of us...

but even with regrets... unless one becomes severely depressed. and no longer function too well. one can usually move onto something else that they may feel better doing for whatever the situation maybe.

Its also funny how as we reach different stages in life how our views can change..and what we used to be very passionate about say in our twenty's... we no longer even consider in our 30s or 40s...

and sometimes we end up doing things when older that we would never have considered when we were younger, be it good or bad.

I still wish however that I had more mental powers to put my life in a better path and NOT have so many ups and downs.

some of these are down to my own mistakes , some are from other reasons beyond my control..
and they are the ones that can be very frustrating.

Sometimes we just seem to have no solutions to questions and have to accept either the way we are or what may be creating a problem at least until we may find a solution.

Some problems can last  a long time or permanently...and they can really suck !
What can be really annoying is finding a solution 10 yrs too late.. :-\

I am still not sure if Life is what we make of it or if it is what happens along the way !

some of my philosophies as I see as I write..
That may change tomorrow !  :)


I would think that you would be quite ok earning good money doing what you prefer doing... an maybe that's what you need to try and determine.. hopefully sooner than 10 yrs later...

Life can be seen as a gamble... but I am sure millions of us would like to have found the right path early on rather than many years later.

But we do need to have certain experiences to discover things ...

If one has a few options in mind they want to consider..and is trying certain things...somethings are better to fail fast...and move onto the next option.
