I was just going over things in my stats remote.

As an affiliate I made $400,000 MORE in 2008 than I am forecast to make in 2011. That shit hurts.

So I'd gladly have you come to Vegas. I don't live in a cottage, so you'll have to make due with sitting around my pool and explaining to me how easy it is to make sales.

I'll gladly even start a new company with you to make sales as an affiliate
I like your posts/attitude so even though this is a paul wankham chest-beating thread, as they all are from paulie, here's a proper reply.

It's 2011, there is a global recession, and it's fucking DEEP. Of course we are all hurting - but we are hurting only in relation to what we earned in eg 2008. We aren't hurting like people with 'real jobs' are hurting - nowhere near it. Tell someone in an offline job, or 90% of them, what your terrible income forecast for 2011 is, and you'd likely get a smack in the mouth for your 'woes'.

I'm at about 25% of what I was doing in 2008, but I promise you I'll never moan to any of my friends about what I'm still earning - they'd tell me to stop being such a wanker. And before you (and I mean anyone in general, not you personally) start about standard of living, having to move down a level, etc - suck it up like 97% of the rest of the world are doing.
