I love this! I'm not an immigrant because I was born here but my parents are immigrants. In 2010 I made minimum wage $7.25 an hour washing dishes at a local restaurant. I lived in a one bedroom studio apartment that was a slum. My parents both worked crap jobs. I grew up in section 8 housing. Fast forward 10 years later and I make on average 30-60K per month and bought my first home in 2017. And a home for my parents as well as my dream car in 2017. A Ferrari 458 Italia. I love this guys story because I too was able to give back to my parents.

Punjabi Sikhs have hard work and dedication embedded in them. Farming is in the heart of Sikhs and the state of Punjab. I guess that is what made them a rugged hardcore community. And being a race of warriors gives them the discipline and they thrive to be businessmen and not work for others.

Gut Instincts Podcast exactly how are they a ripoff? Most dealerships fail and go out of business because of how small the profit margins are. I think it’s like 2% on every car. That’s why dealers try to push and not negotiate because they won’t make anything.
@youtubecrazy6438 4 жыл бұрын
@@ginasantiyan6842 it all depends on the dealership. I worked for one that was dirty, they purchased cars from up north in the rust belt for $2000 to $7000 less than you could down south. While the vehicles were less than three years old, they were still full of rust. And are sales department told us just look under them and if it looks bad use an empty lift and some cheap black spray paint form Lowe's. They then screwed over customers on it. they even went so far as to sell a wrecked car that had the airbags deployed prior to receiving as a certified pre-owned with no accidents on the title(was never reported, but it showed with bad paint and bodywork).
