If you decide to continue with mechanic job, then you can get your own yard (rent empty plot from some mdosi) or partner with someone (share the rent but everybody do their own stuff).
- At the garage, setup an auto-shop, stock it with basic, common parts for common cars (filters, plugs, oil, bulbs, brake pads etc)

I like the rebuilding old car and selling idea. It's exactly like the importing and selling idea where the margins are almost the same i.e. 30-60K profit.

[quote=McDreamy]Thanks all, am in the process of clearing hence limited internet time but am reading and will reply to everyone[/quote]
And don't forget to operate on data bundles from now on to save on your internet costs. And stop stories on the phone, ati "kunanyesha huko?" [-x

Just:
1. "hello"
2. "Who"
3. "Why"
4. "Where"
5. "When"
6. "What time"
7. "Ok, bye...

..there is a window somewhere, just look harder, forget about that door that has been closed..such is life

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Having worked for ten years, didn't the employer give you "something" when leaving. Or is it a misuse of "RETRENCHED" ...just asking...assuming the 500k is from your savings.

If 500k was what you received(highly unlikely with ten year service), then it appears you have an issue with spending and no savings which you ought solve first before looking for a new job. You are lucky you have no loans and debts...and at least you have the courage to speak out. wish you well in your next duty.

Keep it simple

why not offer services to other people with the skills you have, you can set up your company and start bidding for work.When you that desperate you don't care what people say..you far much better than how some people started..
# rephrase you question to something help me invest on 500k and you will get many suggestions from members..i believe there are so many people with brilliant ideas here, that can help.
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it

their is a quote that says "in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity"

a guy was sacked some 15 years ago the same month his wife had a baby .he spent the next 6 months writing applications with no job offers coming and dwindling savings he woke one day and headed to a softa distributor paid some deposit and given a cart full of softas

its during the rounds in the estate he noticed something people would stop him and enquire about vacant houses within the estate until one day a lady offered to pay him 500 sh if he could get a house for her and as they say the rest is history he has now a medium sized real estate company and the girl did kcpe last year

the downside of starting a business is that it takes time at least 10 years for a solid one
it depends on how you will handle it keep calm and dont forget to pray
