SG Speaker Corner

[syko5150]

we have discussed restaurants,clothing,pet stores,import games,liquor stores & hair salons so far, i might consider opening a furniture store that sounds interesting as well...

 

[elixirdream]

he is still around
perhaps active on the wii scene

 

[mrfatso]

speaking of furniture shop, i remember my mom used to tell me that my granddad on my mom's side, he used to be a boss of a furniture store a long time ago, till he accidentally injured himself in the back or something, so he had to close the his shop since he doesnt want to let anyone else inspect the goods and he wants to personally ensure that every piece of furniture that is sold in his shop is of a certain level of standard.

@elixir: i see, guess that explains why i didnt see him around much, since i never been to the wii section except for a few times while checking stuff for my friend.

 

[elixirdream]

not much of them cares about the DS-scene
if you go wiird
you will see lots of top tier code hackers there
yeah they are even better than me for x10000000000

 

[alukadoo]

Well , discussion still continue

 

[syko5150]

@mrfatso i have a friend her dad owns a furniture store back in the US i worked there during high school so i know a bit about how it works

 

[mrfatso]

@elixir: I see. Well, like the saying goes, there is always someone out there that's better than you.

@syko: haha, then you have a goldmine of information from your friend's dad on the to-dos and not-to-dos when operating a furniture store if ever you need help with your furniture store

@alukadoo: yup, it is still alive

 

[syko5150]

theres also the problem of how many businesses do i want to open? i enjoy having money but i dont need like mountains of it lol just enough to make sure i have plenty for living and plenty for spending =P also my fiancee's wardrobe costs a fortune she probably spends about 3000$-5000$ on clothes a month which is ridiculous imo...but whatever makes her happy i guess lol

 

[mrfatso]

3000 YEN or USD?

But still, damn that's quite a lot, and i dont think you have a business at the moment, or am i wrong? So what is she gona do in future, resell her clothes back at a fea market?

I would say go for a food business, those are recession-proof , since like it or not, a person is gona eat and if your cooking is good enough, that's should be good enough.

Hmm, i guess clothing? Your fiancee seems knowledgeable in this field, so you could cater to all the rich ladies in Japan

Hmm, what other recession-proof business is there for backup purpose?

 

[elixirdream]

i think syko owns a bank
3000-5000 USD a month thats like whatever

fatso,
well... of course there are many others better than me

sigh...
wonder when will i reach the elite ladder
still a n00b

 

[mrfatso]

I thought you are already there? You are just humble that's all.

hmm, just realized that this page number is in multiplies of three :|

 

[syko5150]

@mrfatso when i talk money i prefer to talk in US $ because i'm used to it but if we're talking yen then its like 276,000 yen-460,000 yen a month she spends on clothes or somewhere around there...
@elixir i think if i owned a bank it would be bad i would be loaning myself other peoples money LOL!!!

 

[mrfatso]

holy crap, that means in the worse case scenario, in 2 months time, she would have spent close to 1 million yen

That's a lot of money if you asked me even though i know the value of yen is kinda big, i mean just 1.00 SGD would be equivalent to roughly 66.7908 JPY

You will have to talk with her and ask her to limit her spending, unless you are able to sustain that amount monthly.

 

[syko5150]

lol its ok though just while we've been in Japan shes spending my money but soon enough she will be back working again and buying her own stuff =P

 

[elixirdream]

do you believe in that? *wink wink*
the past month i had simply spent 1-1.5k USD on my wife

 

[syko5150]

well if we were a normal couple i wouldnt believe it haha but shes really independent she likes to do everything for herself and she even says that she wants to pay me back(like id let her ha) =p
