In three years, I am going to open a card shop.

I've never done it, but my only advice is to talk talk talk to a lot of people who have. You are going to get a bazillion different opinions on the subject, but until you sit down with a few who are or have done it, you won't be getting firsthand advice.

In my opinion, anyone can start a business. Age can be a factor, but then again lots of older business people have tried and failed. Heck, wasn't Bill Gates pretty young when he got going? It's all in your preparation, just like you are doing now. Asking for opinions and ideas.

I wish you luck. I think its inspiring to hear of someone having a long term goal. So many nowadays are so focused on tomorrow that they aren't able to think about long term.

No offense, it sure is noble to want to follow your dream... but, saying while you are in college that you will be opening a card shop in three years... I give this about a .027 percent chance of coming to fruition. Not trying to be mean, just realistic.
