Think about this:

You dump $60k in 2008, then say in 7yrs you sell for $120k

Thats a 100% return in 7yrs.. pretty fucking crappy if you ask me..

Give me $60k, ill build a site and in 7yrs i woulda made $600,000 from that site.

make sense?
That absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. Like, zero sense. Nil. Nada.

You seem to be oblivious of the subtle difference between "making an investment" and "starting up an entire business".

Time is money. Repeat that line in your head a few dozen times. Maybe it will sink in.

Let's say the site that has made you $600k took 20 hrs/week to create and maintain. Valuing your time at $100/hr, you've invested $60k up front, and an additional $728k in work. That's a pretty shitty ROI
