Not to mention the starter tut they have there is out of date. I went back the other day to re-read it and was glad I stayed here. That darn thing tells people to make a free site and put all the recips on the main page, not the index and after my count from that tut, shows 5 pages not 4. I have nothing against that place but just stay away as there seems to be to many chiefs and not enough indians, but everyone seems to know how to get it done. I think that place did me more harm then good, once I stayed away and just read here I got the idea how its done, but just a small idea.

the thing here is that I WAS making 35k, which is not too shoddy, now |pokefun| me - I consider myself lucky to get a cheque each week :D

but I know that it's coming along. It's getting there that hurts lol, and a lot of folks can't wait that long, that's all.

Well I have to commend you for leaving. I worked in the gov for 8 years and was pulling in some nice cash, gs-11 in the tech sector with an extra 10k and of course the local pay. In the end it was around 65k but I left back in April, stress was killing me and my marrage. But just to prove my point with this guy, guess what? I went back, not to the same place but once and old friend found out I left they pretty much begged me to come work for them on the contractor side, which I will say is a lot less stressful. The reason I went back for for a few. 1) I got tired of sitting in the house. 2) I got tired of sitting home and having my wife make all the money doing what she is doing (I just felt it was unfair) 3) the money was such a large increase I would have to been a moron to turn it down. But this type of money I'm making now only came after years of EXP.
Real nice thing is this, I love my site and so does my wife. I really enjoy working on it and now we have the funds to do what ever we want with it. It has now turned back into a fun hobby that with hard work we hope will turn into a profitible business. But if not, then we can at least say we tried and had fun along the way.. Cause for us in the end thats all that matters. Ok I wont post on me any more, I dont want to take over this topic. I think it's a very good one and should stay on point..
