It's all about the money

[Scorpion Ghost]

People who have money say "It's not all about money" because they know that happiness in life is all about freedom. However... They will be the first to acknowledge that money is by far the best tool for achieving freedom.

People with no money say "It's not all about money" because they need to shift the blame off themselves as to why they aren't rich. They need to delude themselves they're happy with their studio apartment, $1 burger and bag of weed.

Damn straight...

Although, not all of them smoke weed. You know, a lot of them can't afford it. They already pay interests to the banks for and buy a lot of stupid shit they don't need...

Hahah I'm reminded of a South Park episode. Can't find the video on Youtube, but here's a transcript of that scene:

"Come in dude, I wanna show you what I've been workin' on. [Kenny follows him in. Cartman shows him all the stuff he purchased - a jet ski, a Room-bot, a 7.1 speaker system, a plasma TV, an LCD monitor, a VHS/DVD combo player] Check it out. I thought I could just give all my money away and be as poor as your family, but then I realized: what do poor people do? Buy things even though they don't have money by going out and purchasing things that are 0% down and no payments for two years! That's how you people stay poor forever! Am I right? That's it, right? [Kenny is still pissed off]"

So, where do you people that say "It's not all about the money" get that from? Do tell...

It is all about money until you have what you consider enough. And then, it's not all about money.

 

[howard_hughes]

Its all about hardwork/efforts. Money follows.

That's right!

I just came back from the dentist...

She took an hour and a half to put in a fucking filling...

By the end of it I was upset, and I tried to hide it, but you could tell I was by my face...

And she noticed, and says, "Don't be mad. Are you mad at me... or at yourself? haha"

I thought about it for a second...

And I pointed the finger at myself. She didn't understand, surely, but what I meant was that I'm mad at myself for being this fucking poor and having to come here to your stupid ass instead of going to a real professional...

The toilet paper/doctor/businessman versus Healer analogy I gave in one of my previous responses...

And now I come home, and I'm still mad at myself, motivated as fuck...

I've been putting in everything I've got for the past 2 years.

Started with anything and everything I could get my hands on, PTC, Forum Posting, Phone call Reviewing, Microjobs, but mostly educating myself on everything "Make Money Online" related. At first I was making like $20-$50 a month.

Got my first break with Bubblews, was making about $150 per month with them for 3 months (Add the other stuff, was making about $200 per month at that point)... then they stopped paying me, like they did to many other people.

Then the transcription thing, I got promoted in the company eventually, twice, and started making enough to make a living... and add the other small stuff to it (PTC, Forum Posting, Microjobs, etc) I survived...

And now I've reached a point where I'm ready to put in the real work. I've learned so much, so much, but I never implemented anything that could have been really profitable - PPD, PPI, CPA, Selling services, none of that.

I'm hoping the knowledge I've equipped myself with now, and the action I'm ready to take will do it, just a little bit, or more than that...

It's all about the putty tang.

Like Chris Rock said. Men don't give a shit about big homes, fancy cars, yachts, 400" plasma tvs, rolex watches or any of that shit. If we could all live in a cardboard box, eat the food we want and fuck the women we want we'd all be living in cardboard boxes.

My brothers friend is a multi-millionaire. The guys house is 10xs as big as mine. It takes 2 full minutes just to drive from his gate to the side entrance of his home. That's how long his drive way is. The guy has like 8 acres of land around the home. Grass is trimmed beautifully. Looks like something jesus would live in.

Then you walk inside the home and see NOTHING. No drapes, no chandeliers, no zebra rugs.... just a giant spiral stair case, a grand piano, a sofa, tv and a fridge. 98% of the house is empty.

You know WHY?

Cause he's still SINGLE.

Men are use to sleeping in caves and women are use to sleeping in flower beds. Every honeymoon since the beginning of time has begun with a bed full of rose pedals. And soon as that mans spermatozoa gets corrupted... he's gonna go out and buy $500,000 worth of curtains, drapes, rugs, sofas, tables, flowers, pictures on the wall, mirrors, vases, flowers, chandeliers, flowers... everything will be perfectly color coordinated.

And on that same day.... that mans life will come to an end. His body will continue living but his soul will be dead.

This is also why our prostate aka balls get bigger as we get older and approach death. We start to visualize our coffins. We crave reunification with our eternal caves. So our balls start to grow massive. It's natures way of saying, "it's almost over buddy... you can have your balls back". Then mother nature puts tumors in your nutsack, you get your balls chopped off by a surgeon and die a slow, painful but blissful death.

If I saw you trounce on innocent kids sandcastle I would break your f*&king face and there would be nothing you could do about it. Pu&&y.

It's survival of the fittest OP.

In our modern world money is just the most fundamental representation of this fact.

Life is war. We weren't put on this planet to be given everything we want and desire (most of us I should say). We were put on this planet to survive and procreate. As the saying goes, "only the strongest will survive". Like if I'm on a beach, and I see little kids building sand castles... if their parents aren't around..... I will trounce their castles flat with my feet. Just to teach those little shits the most important lesson of their lives. And if they cry or start screaming, "that's not fair" ... I just say "exactly" and walk away.

Same thing with pan handlers. If I see them on the sidewalk I'll bend over like I'm about to give them $1 .... grab the whole can and run.

As far as sex goes... I've fucked so many beautiful women I can't even remember them all. I just take my 1080p super hi-res HP desktop printer, photocopy a bunch of $100 bills, go on backpage and call up a whore. We meet at a hotel. The slut walks in and I put the money on the table. And since they're all just greedy whores they tend to count the money super quick then put it in their pocket. I fuck them 6 ways to Sunday and they leave. The few times I've been called out on it I just say, "if you really think I'd do something like that then just CALL THE COPS.... WHORE". And they never do.

Cause I'm a survivor. And that's what you need to be OP.

Some of us are born as peasants... I'm not saying you are because I don't know you personally, but you won't get anywhere near rich with PTC, Forum Posting or Microjobs.
Now you want to try the next n00b biz: PPD, PPI, CPA - I know there is a lot of money to make, but only if you know your shit and twist like a pretzel - and it doesn't really sound as if you do or have an idea on your own. I smell another $5 a day Journey thread here...
I wish you all the best tho, you don't sound stupid from what I read, just in what you were trying or planing to achieve your 'goal'.

As for the money isn't everything:
We all need money to survive, but it depends on you how much of your life is controlled by money, especially when you get more, you need self control not to let it take over your life. That's the reason some people that are crazy rich already, still can't get enough.
Do something you like/love, focus on different things than the money at first and you will not only have fun doing it - the money really won't matter that much because you enjoy what you are doing. I always wanted to have websites with a lot of visitors - the first thing I looked at was how many people visited my websites, how many pageviews they generated etc - money comes by itself with a thriving website.

I give you an example from 2004 - I started a small website with Funny Flashs (no ads at all) - and after some time I had around 1000-1500 visitors a day - which was already big back then. Then more and more videos came up (before youtube got so big) and I hosted them in a subfolder. I did a lot of research to be the first with new viral content back then, the right sources were a big deal at that time. As the video-subfolder got bigger in traffic than the flash site in a matter of days, I started a 'videos only' page. The record day before I lost interest was 174,000 visitors in 2005 or 2006 - after that it died down because I stopped updating/lost interest - ofc also the money I earned was going down but heck - its not all about the money right?
I headed over to a new project, trying something different which also became a hit.
I had offers of up to 200k Euro for the videopage - but I never sold it - today I think that was a big mistake - but back then - it was just not all about the money...
I set up a single page in 2010 that received more than 1.000.000 uniques in less than 24 hours testing something - I didn't make a dime with it because I was busy looking at visitorstatistics instead of setting up some ads

What I want to tell you is that you should sit down, think of something unique or something that exists already that you can make better - then do it. Trying methods everyone else tries is not going to make you rich. Buying a bunch of clothes/gadgets etc pp is not going to make you rich - it just lets you feel like it at the moment you buy it.

The more you will be obsessed, the more stress will you have.

If you want something great in your life, 99% of the time you will have to do something really hard. That includes handling stress. And looks like you can't handle it. Let it go then. You can be free even with a cheap house in Argentina, with a beautiful wife.

If you want to be free in LA, it's a different story.

Thank you.

I just mentioned PPD/PPI/CPA as a step up from PTCs, Microjobs and Forum Posting. That's not what I plan on doing actually...

To me, I don't hope for 1 - $100.000 thing to happen, although I would be totally cool with that.

I'm more like hoping to make 10 - $10.000 things... or even 100 - $1000 things...

I have many ideas, but this thread wasn't a thread I made to share my ideas

Where does it look like I can't handle stress? I've been handling stress since I was 9 years old any my parents threw me into fucking modern day slavery.

But that's a different story.

On this journey, making money journey, I accept stress, pain and problems with open arms. What better motivation than that? And the motivation comes in to push me to solve everything that stresses me out, causes me pain, or problems.

Time is money = perving and wanking takes time = perving and wanking is a waste of money

But, we are who we are... wank wank hahaha

Good to know that you've been putting your work.. you also need to do it in the right "direction"... like focus where the money is. PTC, forum posts, microjobs wont get you much, and its good that you've already realized it yourself, after taking action. Good luck!

I've been putting in everything I've got for the past 2 years.

Started with anything and everything I could get my hands on, PTC, Forum Posting, Phone call Reviewing, Microjobs, but mostly educating myself on everything "Make Money Online" related. At first I was making like $20-$50 a month.

Have you ever heard of multi tasking? Write and article whilst cracking one off.

Get a 9 - 5 job and crack one off whilst in working hours = getting paid to wank.

 

[Trepanated]

Write and article whilst cracking one off.

Relax. You're the one that said you are sick of this, that you are consumed. That's not handling stress very well..

No, it's not all about the money. It is if you let this happen in your mind, which obviously happened. Let it go dude. Best of luck.

Yeah, sorry, I came off too strong there.

I think I'll stick with the "It is all about the money" line, until I make the money, and then I'll get all noble about it when I don't have to worry if I can afford to pay rent and put food on the table and all that

I mean, I'll tell it how it is in normal situations, that's it is all about the money, until you make it to achieve your goals. But you get me talking to a homeless person, I'll come out as strongly as I can to get it to sink in his head that it's all about the money, and nothing else. But, homeless people, the ones with at least a half a brain, probably already know that...

Thanks man.

And thanks to everyone. I'm feeling better today, ready to continue with whatever it is I'm doing
