do you tell your best friends what you do for a living and are they jealous? - GoFuckYourself.com

debbieN · 08-11-2004, 06:05 PM

The last few months I have gone on trips to New Orleans, Las Vegas, and a three week road trip to visit people. Every day I spent an hour and a half working each morning then playing for the rest of the day. They know aprox. how much I make and can not believe it as they slept off their hangovers. But I was always up at the crack of dawn getting things out of the way for the rest of the day.

I have tired to get several people into the biz but they just do not have the drive.

They all think I have the best lifestyle they have ever seen.

Is it true for you or do you keep it a total secret? Or lie to some and tell them that you do internet consulting work for other companies?

AndrewKanuck · 08-11-2004, 06:06 PM

I tell everybody I know that I make bank with PB.

=^..^= · 08-11-2004, 06:07 PM

none of my friends want to get fucked up the ass

freeadultcontent · 08-11-2004, 06:07 PM

Some know, most do not. Then again most do not know anything that personal about me. Hell come to think of it, I do not know alot of my friends occupations either. Well 1 or 2 I do because they wear uniforms.

4Pics · 08-11-2004, 06:08 PM

yes they know, some are jealous and some aren't

Sosa · 08-11-2004, 06:08 PM

Some know, the ones that should anways. A few have tried getting into it, but didn't stick with it so fuck em

dirtysouth · 08-11-2004, 06:09 PM

My friends that know are more interested in the "scoop". Like "Have you ever met that one chick from that bangbus episode blah blah".

debbieN · 08-11-2004, 06:22 PM

some of my friends want to use my knowlege of search engines and marketing to promote their own businesses. Most just don't understand that selling folk art or painting of western stuff just won't pay the bills.

My family does not have a clue though.

Rankings · 08-11-2004, 07:42 PM

Not jealous. They all want some money though.

Living For Today · 08-11-2004, 07:43 PM

The odd couple know. Most know I do something online.

jacked · 08-11-2004, 07:45 PM

i didn't really tell them they more or less realised it when they saw me at work

debbieN · 08-11-2004, 07:47 PM

the coolest thing I did was to buy a boat . I got them to come down to $119,995.

that lake during the winter can be driven accross.

detoxed · 08-11-2004, 08:01 PM

Ok so you are saying you work 1.5 hours a day and your friends dont have the drive to do the same thing? Hmm... what race are they?

debbieN · 08-11-2004, 08:27 PM

detoxed

all poeple are dumb by 33%.

make a list, your family and friends.

are 30% INSANE?

NoCarrier · 08-11-2004, 08:28 PM

I work at home and I do business on the internet. They don't need to know what I do, the "work at home" part is enough to make them jealous.

fr8 · 08-11-2004, 08:30 PM

I keep it to a minimum because then they ask "Well how do you do it?" and I dont want to explain it to them because then they want me to show them and that in turn adds to my competition.

monica · 08-11-2004, 09:40 PM

Most of my close friends and relatives are aware of what I do, to at least some degree...

and some of them are extraordinarily jealous.

Have them work for you.

If they were possible competition they never would have asked you how you do it, they would already be sitting in front of their computer.

this is true- most of them would work for free just for the chance to oogle at porn all day

you should be cashing in on that !

beemk · 08-11-2004, 09:47 PM

i tell them, most think its cool. some people i meet look down on it, but they are waitresses, cashiers, etc.

ive tried that, most of my friends are lazy.

the_wizz · 08-11-2004, 09:49 PM

My family knows. Doesn't care much (though my sister keeps asking me to get rid of all the spam...)

And I have one or two good friends who know.... one's jealous... the other could care less....

Haha, same here. Though they all "need money". It really sucks, I could use a couple friends with decent drive and at least SOME kind of money to spend.

Do you have this problem by any chance?

cherrylula · 08-11-2004, 09:52 PM

None of my friends have the drive.

I have told a few of them what I do, but now I play it down and will do so even more in the future. Its not really anyone's business anyhow.

I just do "internet stuff."

Most of my friends are fairly jealous.. I too have tried to get a couple of them started, but if they don't see immediate results they quit.

What really annoys me about my friends is they think I am "lucky". If lucky is working 7 days a week 12+ hrs a day for years.. I'd hate to be unlucky.
