    Wow! I had to leave a comment on this, as it seems it has not been mentioned yet…. Major props to you for taking the time to create your own Closed Captions in your video and ensuring accuracy with them as well. I know that those that are hearing impaired greatly appreciate you taking the time to do this and their viewership into account. Genuinely you are one of the very, very, few TH-camrs who do this. Thank you.

      I saw another guy who took a similar path. Didn't make much the first year, along these lines, next year he was up to 20k. Year 3 was 250K.. With this business, it just seems like you have to focus on expanding and getting more and more contracts. I wonder if he had to start needing to look for employees, at that point.

    • @darlener06
      @darlener06 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      A rental property, after expenses, may only make $300/month ($1800/6 months). This is actually great semi-passive income, especially when you build up your portfolio.

    • @breadnaut3087

      The key is to scale if you want to replace your take-home pay with this type of business. However, he has explained in other videos that this is strictly a side hustle and the profit is deposited into savings for his kids.

    • @cadebeek3111

      ⁠@@breadnaut3087yeah but 30 machines at 1500 used each is $45000 investment not including the cost of all the stock you would need to put in them and driving to 30 different locations to service and restock would be impossible in 1 day.

    Great, detailed content. Thank you.
    For the savings account where you are keeping the earnings, make sure it is either a high yielding savings account or you are putting it in a market account earning market rates. This way your money is growing and not losing value due to inflation and depleting your hard earned dollars.

    • @oxymarvin

      Hi, could you explain more? I’ve been in the vending business for a few months, and I’ve been using my regular savings account to transfer my earnings for the meantime.

    • @maninderparhar3598
      @maninderparhar3598 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@oxymarvin A lot of the regular banks offer very low interest earning checking and saving accounts (0-1%). Better to keep your money in a bank like Ally which offers 4.5% with no minimum balance requirements. For long term savings, you can open a trading account and put money into an ETF that mimics the market so you are decreasing your risk while earning average 7%-10% annual return. Again, do your research since the amount of savings will determine which strategy works for you.
