    I think how much money you make in any profession shouldn't really be a conversation topic - ever. It just leads to comparison and the inevitable one person feeling bad that they make less.

    When I begin to really make the big bucks online, nothing is gonna change in my life in terms of what I talk about. I might buy more stuff, and have less stress, but I'm not gonna go advertising it everywhere unless I want to help someone out.

    Only my accountant knows that I make money online. ;)

    My friends wouldn't get it. So I don't bother explaining. I just talk to my online friends about it.

    lol one of my friends is a pot head, and well he kinda ruined his life with it because he doesn't wanna do anything except smoke pot all day, he would smoke all day for the rest of his life if his bills could be paid so the only reason he works is because he needs it to buy weed and pay for rent.

    He basically thinks UPS is like the best job in the world and that if he got that job he would be making so much money. Well he worked for like 2 weeks there and they let him go now he tries to make excuses like "oh man those guys still haven't called me back to go work" and stuff like "blah blah when i work with UPS im gonna be making so much money!" when in reality he really wont be but i mean thats his life goal i guess.

    Anyway ill tell him like, yeah i made a new record today, i broke 250$ in one day. and hes like "oh thats cool. I think i should slang weed and make like 5,000$ a week and shit" of course he can't but hes just like a pathological lier, everyone has been telling him hes a pot head and that honestly people aren't expecting much from him then he gets mad because people view him that way, then you know what he does? smokes to forget about it.

    There is a bit of jealousy i can tell when i tell him about it. He wanted to do it but he has no drive for it and i did teach him and another friend at one point but they both bailed out because they din't want to put in the 30 mins a day to make good money but oh well there loss. Now the other one is 19 and he has a kid and girl friend who works at a factory in Arkansas whos broke joke. and my other friend who smokes got kicked out of his house and lived at a cheap shitty neighborhood appartment for awhile with no truck. then his mom gave it back to him and thought that was a good idea. now he just drinks and drives and shit and he still doesn't have a job except a weekend one as a delivery boy at domino's.

    Oh he dropped out of college but says hes gonna go back. yeah right. And some how he thinks hes gonna be rich and move to Colorado. If anything he told me hes either gonna sell mad pot and make money or grow his own weed. He tried growing his own weed once and failed. So i dunno where his life is headed but hes been dabbing in coke and drinking heavy lately. I honestly want to help him but hes one of those "oh don't tell me im this and that, im not" hes just arrogant and thinks he doesn't have an addiction or something. Honestly hes just a prick kinda guy and hes the skinnest pot head you will ever meet who talks a lot of shit hahaha its sad really.

    Bleh anyway i was just ranting. My friends want to make money like me but expect me to hand it to them if i teach them. they don't wanan put the effort into doing it so what ever.

    I have shared to some friends. Some says they want to do same thing, some says I m lying, some says I am pretty selfish guy because I didn't tell the from the beginning......what so ever..
    ....WHO CARES!!, If they don't like what I do, its their problem.

    But thing is, they are not that way, my friends are quite understandable. BUT the thing is I need to make myself prepared for making good money and working hard every day.

    Circle of friends does matter, they support, they shares and everything, but its up to you who you choose to be good friends.
    I thought of involving some friends, but they says, never do business with friends..
    Its easy when you don't think that way and move along...

    Cheers

    It's no used explaining or telling them anything, I prefer to keep things quite. Plus, it's annoying to explain later when they show this face ":confused:" when I tell them about the online business.

    People either think it's way too easy or way too hard, i never faced anyone who thinks it as a job with hard and easy sides both. If you are really bored, try to explain a friend how google works; you will have to explain more questions than there are on the Paypal FAQ.

    Depends, If they are your real friends you will not feel odd sharing those things. If they are jealous type they wil ask u much. But dont u think its still the best to share what you have.
