Not my intention at all. I don't think I've ever spoken about my earnings on WF before, it was an honest question asking advice from people who have been in the same situation. Good $ brings bad news, im sure there are a few people on this forum who can relate to that. I was asking for them, not you.
how can I look broke but act promising?

My god, this post was not meant to say shit about my income. All I meant was that I consider myself successful for a 21 yr old after just a few years doing AM seriously. I am doing well for myself, nobody can tell me that I am not. Go back to my original question everybody.
Stop talking shit, be honest with yourselves. Did you make mid-sixes at age 20? Maybe you did, maybe you make more now, but don't deny me of that as an accomplishment. I was asking for personal advice when I started this post, not for an argument about income #s.

Every single reply in this thread from you is like that. You're 21 and think you're the kings crust, well, maybe you are - his anal crust.
Stop trying to get attention, no one cares about 'poor you having such a hard time because you think you earn so much that people are falling over themselves for you and it's ruining your life'.

Wow, right when I was gonna give you the benefit of the doubt... you have to go and get caught in a lie.
Reference one of your earlier posts:
Then you stated just state this:
AND now for the best part of all...
You went back and EDITED the post from "2 years" to "a few years"... nice try there but I'm calling you a liar on this one.
What's the point of this whole post if you're not gonna be truthful... and brag about a lie? WTF.

in that case i suggest you keep doing what you're doing. i also tend to enjoy nice things and there's nothing wrong with that. when you experience nice things, it's hard to go back, so it becomes a preference. it's all fine as long as it's not done for the purpose of posturing, which doesn't seem to be the case here.
if it's about the way you're perceived or about the attitudes of other people, i say forget about that stuff because it'll never be within your control. haters hate, that's their job. if you don't got people hating on you, you're not working hard enough. with that said, congrats. keep it up.
you might also want to consider just dating a heavy-set girl or something. throw a wrench in everyones judgment.
The past 2 - ~2.5 yrs I have been able to live off affil income alone. I have been involved much longer, but never on the same scale. Not hard to believe if you ask me.
Why don't you just not act like a giant douche in public. If you don't go around bragging about how much money you make then your $35k car isn't by any means going to tip anyone off, and if it does, stop hanging out with chicks that are in high school.
if you are a lying wonder. You get a double F minus.
If not.
Why you going for broke women anyway?
Step your game up. It's plenty of attractive, intelligent women who make millions and wouldn't bat an eyelash at your "meager" mid 6 figure income.
Focus on your paper, women are all over and from the looks of it, you might not be able to handle the type of woman you think you want.
But yeah, save your dough and find out where the women with bread hang out. Half of your problem gone.
You won't find the cream of the crop hanging in a bar or a club. That is unless of course it's a private club in an exclusive location. But why look for chicks i a club except to screw?
If not.

Dude I am in that same boat. I feel like she's holding me back. She actually has issues with me making money. She always feels down because she only makes like $11 an hour (office records manager). I tell her she doesn't have to work if she doesn't want, and she won't accept. She won't even accept any money, she even pays half the bills.. It takes like her whole paycheck. I almost feel like its holding me back. She seams happy living that way, paycheck to paycheck.
shit is driving me nuts
Truth right here.
Lots of people make bank on WickedFire. I make decent coinage, but I keep it toned down. With people in biz I'm not afraid to talk about my income because I see it as a score that I'm always trying to beat, but with friends and family it's tight lipped.
I own two vehicles, both under $10K, and live in a decent apartment on the good side of town. I don't live it up, and I don't spend all my cash either. 60% of what I make finds its way into my savings account. I figure that once that savings account is X,XXX,XXX, then I'll enjoy it.
Till then, it's nothing but business. As soon as you lose yourself in it you'll lose everything.
You don't have to look/act poor dude, just keep it real. I wear decent clothes, have a decent TV, and blah blah blah. You don't have to act like a baller just cause you have the cash. In this biz, one day you got it, the next day you don't. Don't forget that.
Straight up man, I feel you on this one.
My girl makes $19/hr, which isn't bad, working for one of Canada's big banks. She loves her job, and I love the fact that she has it because if my shit sinks there's still some stability/income, ya know?
But sometimes I feel as if she's... I dunno... jealous of my income? I dunno how to describe it. She's not as anal about it though- I take her out to lunch/dinner all the time, and her and I do a lot together (most of which I pay for). Still though, she pays half the bills/rent/food, which is cool, and she was there for me during a time when I literally didn't have two cents to my name.
People fucking hate hard. Specially the kids that I went to highschool with. They call me "rich bastard"(or master flash, which I don't mind lol), it makes me feel like shit. I am pretty sure thats their goal. You have let people not effect you. I always get people asking me how much money i make (wtf kind of question is that), about my cars, house, ect.. You just have to ignore it. If you like nice things, buy nice things, fuck other people.
Here, here, brother. My stepmom tries to make me feel bad all the fucking time because I enjoy my life and what I've accomplished. I'm 21 and I'm doing well for myself. Who the hell is she to harp on me and rain on my parade?
Fuck it. You only live once, why spend it feeling bad because of other people?
It's really not that hard to hide how much you make. Jeans, standard t-shirts...the ability to socialize like a normal person...
People who look at me and talk to me but don't know me can imagine me working for best buy...and I like that. I look like a run of the mill stoner.(no, my avatar is not actually me)

Hey man - I'm not making as much money as you - but I can tell you that for my area, having a 35k car paid in cash (not on a loan) and a nice apartment is a great accomplishment at ANY age not just 21.
Just try to be a good person. Try to do something good everyday and don't tell anyone about it.
That's the ultimate ego test. If you can pull that off, then keeping your financial security on the down low will be no problem.
But if you help an old lady with her groceries and then go bragging about it, you need to keep practicing =P
Be a nice person, be kind and generous. You seem to have a great attitude.
I didn't take any of your posts as if you were trying to brag - you're in a forum with peers where people are making big money, so I think it's perfectly fine to ask for advice and input.
It's good to have a sense of accomplishment and be proud of yourself. Keep your high self-esteem, nothing wrong with that.
Here's a really good audiobook that will keep you grounded:
