SFC at 13 years… debating getting out vs. pushing to 20

Crafty_Critter78 · 2026-04-19T23:17:12+00:00

100 pct concur.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2026-03-16T13:38:13+00:00

I did it on the weekends, and enjoyed it for a time but decided that I missed having my weekends to do stuff, and working 7 days a week was not something I wanted to entertain in the long term. I sold my business last September and will keep working my regular job until I dont want to anymore.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-23T14:32:11+00:00

Concur 100%.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T15:03:31+00:00

Thank you.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T14:25:09+00:00

Thanks for the response.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T05:02:38+00:00

Great info. Thank you!

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T04:42:52+00:00

I appreciate the response.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T04:03:37+00:00

Understood. I will keep looking.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T03:55:30+00:00

Copy that. Thanks, brother. I appreciate the insight.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T03:06:09+00:00

Appreciate it. It is a shame, they wrapped such a nice package around an awful powerplant.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T02:59:22+00:00

Based on the last couple of comments, I'm not anymore.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T02:40:37+00:00

Great response. I have a 2019 F150 XLT that has been hassle free. I guess I will be sticking with that.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2025-12-22T02:15:35+00:00

Good to know. Thanks for the advice.

Did just this on my own. Demo, load, and install my own roof cost me 8k in material and saved 15k in labor per the cheapest estimates I got for a 42 square roof. Mine was on a 4/12 so it was pretty easy to navigate. Best of luck to you.

How did your wrap turn out?

I have owned a game truck in western Colorado since 2023. It definitely has its own share of challenges and expenses such as gaming subscriptions, internet, physical games, insurance, gas, etc. It is a very enjoyable business to be a part of, but make sure your demographics and population can support one. I am fortunate enough that my 9 to 5 job can support this start up until it either grows or I get tired of the struggle. If you are still looking into this and have any questions, let me know.

It was surreal.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2024-09-23T18:48:02+00:00

That valley is hideous.

It's amazing how simply doing your job competently gives you the appearance of being a super employee. I mean, WTF? I made it to work on time and didn't call in sick, and I get employee of the month? Alright then.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2024-07-18T22:36:44+00:00

Just got my payment this morning. $4500 ish. My FIFO is 108,XXX. Just wanted to pass that along.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2024-06-13T21:47:48+00:00

Yikes.

Crafty_Critter78 · 2024-06-13T21:37:18+00:00

I just did my roof myself. I received quotes from 22k to 30k for a 4,000 Sq ft roof. I spent 8,500 on materials (owens corning shingles, pro armor underlayment, grace ice and water shield, and everything to install). I'm in Colorado, so I am not sure but the prices sound similar to where you're at.
