I remember a few months after I started and it was crazy money for doing almost nothing. I updated my one site once/month and made about $30k/month during the summer. Not really a lot but it was to me after coming from a "sucker job".
I still lived in a run down apartment and drove an 89 Chrysler New Yorker. The only time the old neighbor ladies saw me leave was to buy things. One day, I was getting a pool put in and one old lady came over and asked..so, are you working? Nosy old bitch...I had to tell her I was an online pornographer and mind her own business
