We really are a unique bunch of lucky weirdos

I approve of this thread.

And yeah, sometimes I feel guilty, not for what I have, but for what others around me don't.

Soon, on the way to Barcelona, for couple of months (skipping winter), then around Europe in March. Next year, Thailand, India, Cambodia, etc.

OP, don't get too excited... the game is tougher today than it was last year, and it was tougher last year than it was the year before... you get the idea, it's getting more and more competitive and to stay on top today you have to work harder.

If you're doing client work, you better not take your clients for granted and make sure you're delivering A+ work at A+ pricing, or your clients might slip away. (c.f. they get inundated by phone calls and emails from your competitors DAILY)

If you're doing AM/SEO, you know that there are millions of people each year that are jumping on the bandwagon and doing the same thing we do. Sure 99% of them don't know what the fuck they're doing and will probably fail, but that 1% who will succeed is still a large number to compete with.

You must be joking, get out of the business you're in because each year I make more and more money easier than I did the last time.

1. More people are coming online than ever

2. More software to help you really fine-tune your campaigns. it's much easier now to build a profitable site than ever before

3. 99.99% of marketer wannabes have made less in their entire online career than I did today. I'm not bragging, didn't really make that much at all ($230) but the competition is weaker than water.

4. More competition = me slanging more make money online to noobs

I love it.

I have to agree. I woke up at 14.30 this tuesdays with two twenty year old Thai girls in my bed (not whores), stayed in bed all day, ordered roomservice, leisuresly got up aound 18.00 checked my emails, checked my commissions, concluded that I had made more sleeping than my peers in jobs and then went back to bed. Today, I'm in Hong Kong going to Shenzhen in a few days.

Yeah, life is good, but it wasn't luck, it was exactly how I wanted to live 3 years ago before I stumbled unto affiliate marketing and it took a hell of a lot work to make it work.

But yeah, it's good to be humble.

For starters, if you're doing this (two Thai girls at a time) and you're this eager to tell strangers about it - then you're definitely photographing this lifestyle to document it for friends. It's time to kick out some proof o' puddy, son.

I have a theory. People who can and do live this way don't brag about it anonymously on the internet unless it pays for them to, ie. the Richard Bransons down to the Tim Sykes-levels.

Well, not so unique any more.

I am living in Communist China.

I can tell you, many Chinese are enjoying as comfortable and modern lives as we may have in West.

In Europe, we are as rich as Americans and enjoy comfortable lives.

And maybe, you have successful lives in America, because you have good skills.
But I have heard and read plenty of articles, about Americans living in poverty.
I like to listen to American radio, and this is hard to hear for <<feeding america>> etc...

For French, America was and still is, a kind of legend.
In China, there is too a high opinion about the US economy.

But , from what I can read & hear about the USA, it seems heart breaking.

Families kicked out from their homes, can't pay their debts, any more.
The biggest prison population of the world, per inhabitant.
A tremendous violence, including gun violence.
A huge drug business.

I even heard, you do not have yet a universal social security.
As a consequence, some poors must put mess, in order to go to jail enough long, to get healed in jail.

America, such a great nation, which made so much for Europe...
Yeah, you made a lot for France, my fellow countrymen may have memory troubles, but for my part, I remember the landmark about 3rd Armored Division which liberated my area, led by General Rose.

It is too sad.

You don't get healed in jail. Most jails idea of dental work is pulling the tooth. For many years that was the only thing that they would do. I'm not sure if that's still the case.

If you get stabbed or assaulted you'll generally get treated, minor illnesses you'll get treated, but if you get something like cancer, aids, etc you'll get a medical discharge once you're about to die.
