In order to do so you first need to do market research to see if there's a market for your product and all the feasibility issues involved.

First buy lots of those best selling books about Life, Success, and Financial Management from your favorite bookstores. They will serve as your indespensable guide, counsellor, friend and/or companion, throughout your journey. God Bless you both. :)

That would be fun. I think if you take two people or a team that are doining it for fun it will happen! I would do simple numbers research one being every cent earned should go into an account that is interest bearing and when you increase your savings you should go to a higher interest account. I think you should do some product research whatever is very popular with your demographic you should go after. You must be creative in thinking! I think you need an item/s that no one sells. Like offer stuff only availabl in europe etc. YOu create this product line people will seek. Low coat and high mark up is key iwth proper product. I could go on forever but all you need is a basis and run with it. Send me a dollar when you get there. I at least deserve a cheeseburger for the post heh anyway honestly best of luck don't ever think you can't do it. MOney comes easier the more capital gains you develop.

Pay bills and get the things I have always wanted. Help out a few people in need. Mostly help my mom and my close family. Invest some save some.

First thing remove the "want" thing and have the courage to take that responsability of making that sum of money for yourself, and second never wish for money, it never worked for me that way...

First pay off the house, and bills. Then i'd still have plenty left. Lol. Buy a new car for each of us per ours are both old and falling apart (but paid for so hey i cant complain at the moment to much). I'd invest some, take a vacation, let hubby go back to college. then after he was done i'd go. Set up college funds for the kids.
