And then they're on their own in a foreign country.
Right.
So I already decided that this was going to happen.
Now, what was I going to do?
I had a couple of plans.
So I had contacts with AT&T inside of Panama.
There's basically, I'll give you the short version of it.
Somebody that was from New York, these Jewish guys that I met in Panama from New York, they had a bunch of call centers over Central America, all over the place.
And the way they broke it down to me was for like a short, you know, investment, maybe depending where I was going.
But in Paraguay, I had it down to $50,000 in investment.
I had to basically get some Dell desktops, get some office space, and they would get us a contract for a year with AT&T where basically AT&T was paying you like 750 USD to 850 USD per employee per month.
And you're paying the employees the minimum wage or a little bit better, which is like 450 USD.
So you're getting like almost half of that wage off of all of them.
the way that we had it planned out for was for 40 employees 40 workers so you can see what kind of money that is this it's in the tens of thousands a month right and that's a legitimate business that's not there's nothing dirty about that so that was one of my plans i also this one's a little bit more in you know it's more intricate but
they don't really have any english schools out there not any really good ones so i was thinking to do an english school i wanted to get funding from the catholic church it's the big long that that one was like the dream i was like if i do this i'm set for my life so that probably wouldn't happen but i was going to work on making it happen and then i was going to open up a little hookah lounge as well i had an american guy that i met out there that was going to sell me his hookah lounge his business for around like 35 40k he was bringing in a couple grand every month so
already had things set up so we're in paraguay we spent about a month there my birthday passes there one of the best birthdays ever she sets up this whole thing for me and you know like happy birthday and one of the regular spots that we used to hang up with they decorated and all this stuff and she surprised me it was kind of nice you know because
Just coming from everything that we went from, you still you never know, like if this is real, if this is true, if I'm being used, if it's, you know, whatever.
So a lot of that just stems from abandonment issues when I was a kid and whatever else.
Right.
And insecurities and all that shit.
