Hi. :-)
I have thought quite alot about starting some things up on my own, building up an 'empire' slowly. I'm not sure if that means stock trading or investing in something on my own.

I live in a small town in Greenland (pop: 4500). I have a job as an electrician, and I make approximately $2200 a month.
Right now I don't really have any expenses besides my rent ($350 per month) and my hobbies.
I smoke, but I plan on stopping before the end of this month.

I think that I will be going to school in 2008 or 2009, that will cost a bit so I will have to save up some money for that too.

I have thought about saving up for a taxi, and find someone suitable to drive it. I have heard that a taxi pays itself off in a year or so. After that I would be harvesting income.

I dont exactly know where I am in the world of entreprenours with the salary I currently have.

I would be glad to hear some good tips and ideas from u guys. :-)
