Hey folks so recently I posted asking about small shops and anyways it looks like im about to pull the trigger on a 1650sqft shop with 30 foot clearance. If this goes through I am selling my house thats almost paid off and basically going to live in this shop and purchase 2 machines that I haven't figured out yet. The good news is the shop is paid off , the bad news is im homeless and the shop is new but small and it is only roughed in with plumbing and I gotta run electrical a compressor, build a bathroom and a room to sleep. Apparebtly this industry is a dead end for young guys like me looking to start a buisness and I am going to be working for no more than I would have as an employee. I have confidence in my abilities and my know how to get work but it is nearly unanimous from shop owners in this industry that I may have ruined my pretty good life. Im seriously asking because this is almost certain at this point and will be in 3 days did I just make the dumbest decision of decision making for 30 some year olds? And is there any advice you could give to a North American machinist who would take this risk and throw away a more than stable life style? Any advice is appreciated at this point it is very real to me and I can't tell if I have courage or I am completely brainless based on the advice I've gotten the last 10 years. Thanks
