Someone Told Me The Other Day...

Another great response to the dad would have been "Somebody has to make those REAL jobs and given the current unemployment in this country, it seems like not enough people are. It's too bad so many people are scared to try."
My wife understands this as well and we've got one kid. It sucks I come home from my 9-5 and get right back on the computer. But it pays off and she understands that for now.
Most girls grew up with a dad who went out to work every day, so a husband hanging around the house all day equals a husband not working to them. She probably doesn't understand much of what you do, so she doesn't value it as much as someone who does.
If a girl moves right from daddy's house to your house, then chances are she doesn't understand the concept of money. She just knows it comes from somewhere magically. (same could be said for a mooching guy) People like that just need to be booted to the curb for a while until they realize that someone needs to water the magic money tree.
Calling someone a geek in this house is flattery. Really. Geeks are AWESOME. I have to watch myself though because I called my friends son a geek and I think she was insulted (she has a brilliant 5 yearold who loves discussing things like the periodic tables and having conversations with Astrophysicists.)
word same. my cousin is always a douche to me and thinks he's the shit cause he works for HP and shit. he says that I'm not gonna go anywhere in life without a real job and a master's. what a piece of shit wait until i move into his dream condo LOL:banana_sml:
why would you really care what he says when he doesnt want to get a house hes got a Dream CONDO he wants... :smokin:
I would buy a condo in Chicago. I saw one on Ebay for about 500 grand and it was the shit.
Ok, so half of you guys need to make sure your significant others never find out bout this board. 
Too many judgmental people in society, that's just the bottom line. It's pathetic when I get stared down for looking at movado's in a store. Ok, first off - it's a fucking movado. It's not a Rolex. It's not exactly high society - but keep in mind gents, our lowball items are their dream items.
As for the assets proving worth, it always does. Once again, I'm not a high roller, but if they stare me down I just slide the hoodie sleeve up and they get on my dick "oh sir do you want to see <XXX>?" Meh, fuck the judgmental. We're in an industry where a kid in short sleeves and shorts makes more than the guy driving the SL500. Or even better, the kid in short sleeves and shorts is DRIVING the merc, or lambo.
Fuck the general public. Results do the talking. Always keep your head up and know that you're doing better for yourself long-term than they ever could. My 401K is my knowledge and the ability to make enough in the difference to not NEED one right now.
Just remember: An entrepreneur will spend a few years like most people won't, so he can spend the rest of his or her life like most people can't. Real talk.

True words of wisdom. Rep
Regarding the whole "my-girlfriend-is-a-bitch-because-she-doesnt-like-what-I-do-deal"
WTF?!
Just talk with your gf's for real, let her know what your are doing and why you think its worth it. Its called communication, go read some persuasion books or something or start communicating with her.
I used to summarize all into "Im marketing some products online and earn money like that".
Only been about a year with the new gf, (probably naive) but just let her know whats really on your mind. She didnt know shit about what I did before, but she definitely knows what I do better than to say her parents "He does something with computers all day".
Its called marketing anywhere you see it, you are a marketer and in a sense you are help brands sell their products. Every single living thing that has a brain and talks knows this is a business model. So just explain it that way.
Dont talk about PPC, SEO or whatever, people dont know wtf you will be talking about, just talk yo help bring customers via the internet with online marketing.
Meh I don't know, if shes your girlfriend she is supposed to back you up! But obviously if all she knows you are in the computer all the time and doesn't see the sense of it, you are just one geek dumb nerd that does shit.
But then again,

I was talking about a thread I'd found here and as soon as I uttered'200k a year' my bf was trying to hold back a laugh/gasp
I was talking about it and it seemed he wasn't listening/didn't believe. I explained it in more detail and he sort of gets it.. But he doesn't really feel that it's possible. He loves working Rat race and I'm sure he'd never be good with any kind of entrepreunerial project. He was disgusted at a real estate convention? Lol
anyway he's kinda strict in his thinking on money and way pessimistic but I love him.
I'm pretty sure if I do start making money with this he'll say things like 'i knew you could do it'

If they only say that, after you succeed instead of before, then they're talking out of their ass. A real lack of confidence when they can't take you at your word any more than a stranger.
