If you make real money online, do you think you would have been as likely to come into dough without the advent of the net?
I feel I would be a money maker regardless. I'm the type that was born and knew that there are many ways to make money. By age 5 I was already watching the news for "financial advice" for lord knows what reason. I always had an interest in money...Maybe because it's something that my family didn't have a lot of. Regardless, I always found a way to make money and invest earnings into more money making ventures. It started with candy sales on the bus. HAHAHA!
Do you feel weird about being paid? For example, do you think you spend your money on different things from what someone at your income level normally would?
I feel that my spendings reflect my earning level. I'm not the type to blow cash i don't have, nor am I the type to go to a normal restaurant and not pick up the tab.
Do you have trouble spending money on yourself?
No. In general, I make a trip to the mall once a month to spoil myself and buy new clothes, shoes, etc. It's a small fee and a way to reward myself for my hard work. I always set a budget and it's more often that I don't even meet that budget.
Does everyone you know ask you to buy them stuff?
How did you know? I have quite a few friends who think I should always buy drinks, pay for everybody's cover charges, dinner, etc. just because I make a decent amount. I also notice a lot of my girlfriend's friends talking to her about "how rich" I am, which is so far from the truth. they always say stupid shit and say "Why don't you buy that for her? you've got enough money.". My GF is SOOOO far from a gold digger that it's sick. She works her own job and makes her own money.
Do you have trouble spending money on things that last i.e. real estate vs. cars vs. drinks for the whole bar?
I have a primary home being built as well as an investment property. I've paid all cash and I have no credit card balances. I also just purchased a new car that I love! That's about as far as my spending goes. In the future, I want to invest in more property, accumulate more in my stock portfolio and diversify my investments even more. I'm all about making money and turning it in to even more!
