besides the fact that those are the exceptionns and not the norm, how do you suppose that someone making $290 a week saves up that much?

go without heat? health care? gas for the car you're making payments on?

People can't live with friends/other people and/or carpool/ride the bus? Oh that's right, everyone is entitled to have their own car, home, and happy meals, cause we can't share any of this with another human being to make life affordable.

Why does this shit even have to be pointed out? Actually, most of it has, but after following the 3 or 4 threads that have been about this lately, your arguments are always the same regurgitations and you choose to ignore the many options these people have before them. Face the facts that many just don't want it bad enough to put the work time in to get it. Couple years is too long apparently, they want that money today.

Seriously, I explain to you how I fucking did it my very self on the minimum wage in under 2 years of scraping by, and then you turn around and say it can't be done. Earf is flats?


But Buck, you are very good at denying what is right in front of you. Let me know how that works out for you.

Done. I have nothing to prove, did that years ago. Now I'm reaping the benefits of all that hard work and I have no more desire to listen to the complainers complain.

oh yes, i forgot the new republican motto as elucidated by red1966 the other day:

"i don't know of any McDonald's that aren't near the bus stop"


I fucking did it my very self...I have nothing to prove, did that years ago. Now I'm reaping the benefits of all that hard work and I have no more desire to listen to the complainers complain.
i bet you were also born in a log cabin you built yourself and your neighbor is the mythical welfare queen.

Right wing breathes life into us all?
[h=3]Things you must believe to be a republican today...[/h]




* Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

* Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

* The United States should get out of the United Nations, but our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

* A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

* The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

* If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

* A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

* Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

* HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart, as do oil companies.

* Global warming is junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

* A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

* Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

* The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

* Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

* What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

LOL, Here we go with personal attacks.

I'm sure you would be a good customer to any budget homo operation.
that wasn't a personal attack, that was a valid guess as to what kind of business you could start with your intellect and $290 a week.

the personal attack is on you.

Those are not typical results. Stop stroking.
You're right, parlaying your hard work into a mult-(b/m)illion dollar (inter)national business is not typical. But starting something that will give you a comfortable living is pretty fucking common. Not only that, there is a damn good chance at creating multiple generations of success by having a successful business for your children to walk into.

I would also say a decent per cent of those who fail in business do so because they didn't do it right. The down side is if you start a business, you're married to it until you get it pretty well established. No one will care about it like you do. But it's worth it.

You also need savvy and talent with luck. I have been in the highest and lowest tax bracket, owned a business, started 2(1 remains in the family), and went to an Ivy league school on a full ride.....I know this game, you may too. You need to manage your expectations turbo....
