You're standing at a food festival.

The line stretches around the corner.
You do the math in your head.

30 customers an hour × $14 = $420/hour
8 hours a day × 5 days = $16,800 a week

So you decide you want one.

Here's what that calculation missed 👆

— The commissary you're legally required
to rent before cooking a single item
— Permits that cost $30,000 in New York City
— A generator fuel bill that runs $20,000 a year
— 60% of food trucks gone within 3 years

The dream is real. The math is complicated.

Most people think eBay flipping looks like this:

Buy a bike for $12 → Sell for $280 → Keep $268 ✅

Here's what it actually looks like:

Buy a bike for $12 ✅
eBay takes 13.6% in fees ❌
Shipping costs $50 ❌
Packaging costs $8 ❌
Your real profit → $126

Still good money. But nobody told you this part.
