Today, I revealed to my parents that I'm planning on opening a food truck in the next few months. They both laughed in my face and said I'll never make any money. I've been working on this for 3 years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came out to my parents. They laughed in my face. FML
Today, is the third day since I opened my small coffee shop. My parents had given me a nice frame to put my first dollar from working in. I had to sneak in a dollar from my own wallet so they wouldn't know how bad business was when they came to visit. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. They still think I'm joking. FML
Today, my dad undermined my life's work. I finally opened my own bakery, but my dad told me it's a "sissies job" since it doesn't involve manual labour like he did for 50 years and I'll probably go out of business, because no one will want cakes from a 6 foot 8 man with tattoos, piercings and a shaved head.

Today, my husband told his parents that he was quitting his job so that he could focus on school. They asked him what he was going to do for money. When I told them that I'd be the one working, they took one look at me and burst into laughter. FML
Today, I announced to my family that I will be trying out for the next season of America's Best Dance Crew. They responded by laughing hysterically and my mother said "You guys suck, good luck making it past auditions". FML
Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML
Today, I opened my own flower shop. My mom's response was, "Get a job." FML
Today, it's the fourth day since my partner and I opened our store. Opening day was great, but since then we have had a grand total of two customers. We spent our entire life savings on this. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML

So what's your plan now? Your parents certainly know what they're talking about, so you need to do something else. Hey, I'd like to talk to you about Amway...

just go for it! how do you think all those people with food trucks wound up on tv?! just go and make your awesome food and make the money! make sure you advertise the shit out of your business too! make a facebook page, make ads on Instagram or any other social networking site, hype that shit up, make shit fun for your customers, you could do contests or draws which could also be done on social media, sorry, I actually know absolutely nothing about running a business and dont know you at all but I'm excited for you!

With Covid it's a pretty challenging time to try opening anything, but a food truck is a pretty surefire business at any other time.

People in general are skeptical of anyone working for themselves. About 50% of new business fail in the first 5 years. Though if you can make this work entrepreneurship is where the real money is.
