The week I made $2,100 pressure washing driveways but lost $800 on a bad roofing bet
I had seven straight days of perfect weather and cash jobs lining up, then I threw $800 into a penny stock called RoofGuard after a buddy's tip and watched it tank within 48 hours, so which side do you trust more, steady labor or risky trades?

Ever think about how the time you spent researching those penny stocks could've been used to line up a few more driveway jobs? That $800 lost is basically what you would've made on four solid Saturdays of work. Labor is predictable, you know exactly what you're getting into with each driveway. Stocks are just gambling with extra steps, especially penny stocks that can crash on a random tweet. The only real risk in pressure washing is maybe cracking a hose or your machine dying, not watching your money disappear overnight.
