Reading this on WSJ is interesting. Having been raised in a very working-class family, but now being fortunate enough to have a stock portfolio, I'm struck by how romantic a business like this (or the other small business entrepreneurs I see on YouTube, such as a guy who runs laundromats and car washes) is to me -- I guess just by how straightforward the business model is and how it appears (at first glance) to be something one man can just do all by himself.
It's inexplicably intriguing to me to consider doing a side hustle like this -- even though in terms of both risk and reward I have to acknowledge it is probably no better than what my savings is doing right now in various stocks and funds.
