Not really seems like he's saying "don't spend your money on stupid things, but if you do see a good opprotunity and you put though into it first then it's ok to spend a little on it as long as you also paritition off time to continue on what has been making you money as well". at least thats how i read it.

I've always wondered what happens to those people who come on here, make some decent money than vanish never to be seen again. I've always felt like the admin of BHW is abducting them all, putting them all in a master computer lab, and whipping them with chains to make him money. And I'm sure that Zerofoxtrot is somewhere in that room. Poor guy.
Not going to lie but some of those guys are probably back to doing 9-5. :/
Yeah he ment the fact the OP said he's been the industry since 2004 (10 years), not a war vet...
OP I agree with what you're saying and I think along the same lines, I've seen a lot of friends come and go in just the past 4 years I've been in this game, most going bust with wild spending and not having a fall back of some form, always plan for a rainy day amigos..

Okay, I deleted it. He made it sound like a war vet. I can't stand when people disrespect them.

I got so admired of the things you told here.what you told is so relevant because people are trying different and other ways to make money.you can always lean towards the niche ,you feel like comfort to handle. Being that said,It takes money to make money,every hard work are backed up with same risk of loosing as winning.

Some solid advice here mate....thanks. I think many of us have made the mistake of going a little over board once we get our first decent sized payment come in. I guess it's because many of us worked soooo darn hard until we managed to actually get a decent payment come in that it's such a sense of accomplishment that we tend to over do it with the celebration. Lucky for for me, with my first sizeable payment I spent my money on Weed, Whiskey, Women and the rest I wasted

Truthful words from people that have had it lost it, some that still have it. I love this thread. So much valuable advice. I definitely believe in saving, each month I leave 50% of all earnings in my interest bearing money management account. That way my money makes money for me even if my IM earnings slow down alittle. Those who save most have a long term business mindset, those who spend most have a short term business mindset.

Cool. Abuse, hyperbole and straw-man.
Can I take you off my Christmas list then?
Got anything constructiveto say?
?e-penis?, that?s a new one that I must remember. Did ittake you long to think that one up or did you steal it from someone else?
?Generic bullshit? was the exact point I made in my post. Its simple. It was clearly lost on you. Re-read it whilst not gritting your teeth and snarling.You may learn something. It worked for me for 30 years and continues to work today. 'That 'Generic Bullshit' as you call it.......works. But hey, you know better. Cool. Crack on fella. I'll just be off to piss my pants.
The OP also raised your so called ?generic bullshit?. Clearly lost on you ?TWICE?. Try reading for comprehension.
Have a nice day.

Just pointing out the glaringly obvious but put across in adifferent style. Nothing more. If folk want to take it as an insult or deem itas wrong then cool. Keep scratching for that ?quick buck? because 'sustainable business' doesn't exist in IM.......apparently! lol. That is another generalisation and depends entirely on what IM you are conducting. If attached to an established 'offline' business then it most definitely is sustainable. (Although some here do not see the correlation between the two). However, If you are simply reliant upon affiliate sales, content marketing and 'your list' to sell other peoples products, PLR and other over saturated junk then of course it isn't sustainable. That is the 'quick buck' in action and I suppose is why so many (I hear 96%) fail.
This ?grumpy old man? can take a piss in his pants apparentlybut he can do so with 30 years of a solid business foundation, no mortgage, nodebts and he can do as he pleases, when he pleases and where he pleases. This ?oldman? can now afford the time to diversify to the online game properly but he will continue to usethe same ?Generic bullshit? that got him where he is today and not some halfarsed strategy that sees most broke or giving up within 12 months. Now that is the truth, you know it, I know it, They all know it.
Generalisations about American trends has no baring on my UK 'offline' business and I doubt that it will have any bearing on the 'online' aspect of that business either. I don't market to America. Perhaps I should though because they buy just about any old crap.

If you had of just made this point and then left all the bragging out then I'd have totally agreed with you.
It does seem a bit like the OP is just stating useless information that is already known to all.

My man for someone who claims to be so well off you don't sound too happy.
If you feel like you're so above all of this then simply ignore it just in the same sense I ignore disney channel forums or WR or what not. It's just not part of my world view, you don't need to pollute your mind with any of that, right?
what kind of content do you expect here anyway? what's not generic bullshit to you? do you want to hear the latest and freshest IM strategies? Cool i got those & I don't mind sharing, but I must warn you, the bucks are too quick for your liking. This is BHW, the BH part stands for black hat, there's a reason it's called black hat & not just because it looks fashionable, it's not about you being an old man, or not selling to Americans (who cares), it's about this uppity bullshit you come with.
As for selling to Americans vs international, oh trust me I've had some great returns on investment by promoting to UK & AU as US prices went up, so I wouldn't be feeling superior as your countrymen buy just about any old crap at same (or maybe even higher) rate as mine do.

and where is the test of the dollar to just save?
Let's do it like this:
take 50 cents of the dollar and then divide it into 3 part tha you can use to reinvest in other stuff.
50 cents should be saved for example in an emergency fund.

OP is 100% correct.
My parents give me only like 5% of what I make a month. Everything else goes toward college and such

That's NOT what he said. He said not to abandon the money-making methods that have a known record of success, while trying new methods that only appear to offer more potential.
