The whole thing doesn't make much sense with a brother who dumps this kind of money on a few drinks, contests, fight trips, etc, seems to throw it away like it's nothing.

If it's a do it on your own thing, then I can respect that, but still.....it seems kind of strange. If I had family that was interested in internet marketing, I'd send them in a heartbeat to any conference.

Maybe she doesn't want a hand out. Here at least she is attempting to exchange a service for money. And in the words of the great Hokey Pokey...that's what it's all about.

Lauren, you rock. You said what I was thinking in a much nicer way.

Why is it that when someone is successful, everyone automatically assumes they're open for mooching? They become the bank of "gimme gimme gimme" as far as leeches are concerned.

I despise it, and I think leeching moochers (and those who champion it) who expect handouts from other people's hard work deserve nothing in life. Nothing. And most of them get exactly that, because that mindset comes with self-centeredness that makes it impossible to be an entrepreneur.

Kudos to Andrea for being her own person, and for being classy enough not to address the comments regarding turning into a leech.

Now why don't you leeching moochers go live in your mommy's basement for the rest of your life and shut up.

I don't have a problem with hand outs... but I'm pretty sure if you have a chipin page set up, you're looking for a hand out in one form or another.

+ I don't get why her brother doesn't pay for her to go either, but there must good be a reason since it's been asked a few times here and has been completely ignored.

Ok, let's get this straight. I'm trying to understand you moochy types.

If you make a ton of money at your job, and a relative of yours decides they want an unnecessary thing (because ASW is unnecessary thing, not required to sustain life)...do you pay for it? Do you pay for endless amounts of those things? Or do you become like some kind of don that they come to for money and blessings on the purpose of the money?

It sounds like it could go bad for a couple reasons. One, it sets someone else up to be dependent on you, two it sets you up to be controlling, and three it lets a moocher continue to do nothing for themselves and live off the backs of other people. It's creepy, it's wrong, it's moochy. I never will get it. Never.

Shoemoney is shoemoney. Andrea is Andrea. They are brother and sister. He isn't obligated to support her wants and she isn't obligated to support his. Friends and relatives that require that in relationships are manipulative in my opinion. I don't do well with manipulative people so that could be why I don't understand this mantra of "shoe has money take it from him". My philosophy in 2008 is "scrape them off" and I have already started. It's refreshing.

Andrea isn't getting a handout. She is giving value. Go get a link from a decent PR site. They aren't free unless you're BHing, and even then they aren't guaranteed to stay there. Her link was worth my donation. Not to mention I can't go for reasons other than money, so I'd love for some woman in marketing to go that would love to go but can't because of the money.

She didn't twist my arm, she didn't take without giving something in return.

Oh wait....that's called an entrepreneur. THAT is why people don't understand why she doesn't just go "get the money" from her brother. Those people are not and never will be entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs don't do handouts.

And screw all of you that think she should answer your stupid ass requests that she go mooch.

Go live with your mommas in their basement. Seriously. Mooch mooch mooch mooch. Sickening.

Isn't that what she's asking for just from the rest of the world rather then her brother :P

P.S. Just givin yah a hard time PA
 
Honestly is anyone "THAT" surprised her brother doesn't pay for her? I'm look who we're talking about here. I mean honestly.

That's not the point. The point is that people "expect" it. Maybe she never asked him. Or she did and he said no. I don't care. It's none of my business because that wasn't part of the deal. The deal was donate, get value, Andrea goes to Vegas and I get to live vicariously through her while she is there.

Win win.
 
like blondetm said above, i'm offering something in return (text link) for the donation. as far as my brother goes, it's not his responsibility to pay for me to go to a conference. we won't be doing business together when we're there or benefiting from it in a business sense...therefore there is no reason to involve him.

suck it smax :D

Why is everyone blowing this out of proportion? She's selling text links on her blog. Is that a big deal? The money just so happens to be going towards ASW. Stop being so ignorant -- not everyone has deep pockets.

Plus, Andrea is quite awesome.
