I know what you mean. When I go out for lunch or whatever in the middle of the 'working day' and see all these people working their asses off in jobs they hate for minimum wage I promise myself that I'll NEVER go back. We need people to work out in the world but I don't wanna be one of them ever again. What other job allows you to take a day off whenever you fucking well please just because you don't wanna be inside when the weather outside is so nice.

The only 'job' I'd ever go back into the workplace for would be working in a pottery studio full time. And that wouldn't be for the money but for the sheer joy of working with clay. Better yet, I'll probably just build my own studio in the back yard!

Dammit! My timing SUCKS!

I've been self-employed since 1986.

The thought of working for somebody else is so foreign to me now that I can't even remember what it was like.

It's the same thing for me...After being a spammer for several years I can say that I will no longer be able to work a normal job. Which is sad.

As for those people you say you feel sorry for, that work those shit jobs. Some of the happiest people in the world work shit jobs and are just content with their mediocre life. They haven't been consumed by money and all the greed and bullshit it brings.

Spamming has made me rich...but am I happy? No.

I took a 150%+ pay decrease leaving adult for the most part.

And...

I'm quite a bit happier with security in another industry.

To each their own.

I just joined this forum, I've been spamming for several years now. I've been spamming penis pills for about a year, but I would like to do some porn because I have many emails that are porn optins. I convert very well and clean my lists, are there any sponsors out there that would like to take me on?

Let me know, I could be very profitable for you.

email: [email protected]

thanks
chris

whats shitty is seeing my friends bust their asses to gross like $300 a week. never can go out cause they either dont have money or they have to work.. suckers.. i couldnt imagine that lifestyle again. $300 a week=bankrupt in a week. id be so fucked lol.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

you said it all stocktrader, i may be a small cog in this machine but i've still enjoyed being self employed sooo much over the past 5 years. its the only job that lasted more than 3 months for me. always got fucked over and got laid off before i made it into the union at other places, made more money than ever here too. kinda sucks lately as i've been searching for motivation and coming up empty so not making the big bucks anymore but still getting by. i think i need a chick to raise my spirits, among other things.

you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

YEP...Things change so fast, must understand that.

ST,
You are so on target. Back in '98 I was making 6-7k a month with just paysites. (not a lot in scope, but I was driving a Limo, and had to put up exec's treating me like a second class person)
These days I am making more from the hard work I did.
I can NOT imagine doing a 9-5 for ANYBODY. That was a nice post.
I think I will work an extra hour today!

You start working for yourself and make more and more money. Pretty soon you are making more money than you ever have before, and the whole time you're having a blast.

Next thing you know you are fucking spoiled rotten. No matter how bad shit gets you can't imagine going back to a real fucking job. Pushing pencils or running somebody elses business? Me fucking run your shit while I take home a whopping $7 a fucking hour? I'd rather fucking die!

You push yourself as hard as you can because theres no way in hell you could ever do that again. No matter what happens you'd rather live on the street than have to punch a fucking timeclock. You are going to do whatever the fuck it takes to make money you can call your own. It may be a pain in the ass but it's YOUR pain and YOUR ass. You'll get lazy and shit will go wrong. But when it does, you can damn sure figure it out and you will survive. You WILL do whatever the fuck you have to for things to work.

And when your wife or girlfriend says you work to much and/or don't spend enough time with them you will tell them to fuck off with their spoiled ass because NO FUCKING WAY you are going to let your business slide to the point where you have to sign your name to a job application.

Aside from the fact that I can no longer force myself to work for somebody how do you people get by on $5, $10, or even $20 a fucking hour? I don't have much of anything but $20 an hour wouldn't fucking touch the notes on what I do have.

Beware noobs, once you reach a certain point there is no turning back. You would rather fucking die.

preach on brotha!

interesting topic. i've thought about this quite a bit over the years... and i simply can't imagine working a day job ever again. like someone said above, the entire concept is utterly foreign and alien to me now.

we'll miss you our friend. RIP

Oh yeah, I need to be able to come into work when I want to...take lunch breaks when I want to...Leave early just in case some of the guys are meeting at a strip club that day.

Oh yeah, I need to come in late sometimes from the wild nights at the strip clubs....

I CAN'T DO THAT AND WORK FOR YOUR COMPANY??

Well..................Go Fuck Yourself!
