    Good year for me...

    Finally started building my house (after 4 or 5 years of waiting)
    Money-wise, made ~8x more than my previous best year (2001)
    Everyone I know is healthy

    2005 was a pretty good year.
    I moved from highschoo to College and having a lot of fun.

    I also started a blog out of boredom and with the help of Mike Dammann now have my own domain to which I moved it to a couple of weeks ago.

    in terms of adsense. Still slow. Finally up past the $14 a month but nothing huge. Of course that was better than $.63

    It's been fun.

    Great year, made almost twice as much as the year before , my girlfriend was able to quit her job to work with me and build her own websites, got a bigger boat, been able to spend at least couple days a week on the water.

    One of my ferrets went blind, but he gets around pretty well for being blind.

    I had a decent year. Decided I hate school, so I am not going back. (The loser who quit college after going for 3 years, I know...:) ) But I have started to understand what I want and am going forward with it.

    In 2005, I have set goals for online earnings and have started working hard to accomplish them. To me, that makes 2005 very meaningful, and hopefully 2006 even more special.

    Did great business-wise... got to quit my medical transcription job just after my son's birth because my business was doing so well. Good thing too, since trying to transcribe with a toddler and an infant at home was proving rather challenging.

    Became more grateful for having a business when my son needed surgery and 3 months of therapy for craniosynostosis. I can't imagine going through that with a regular job, since I often had 2-3 doctor's appointments/week for the first month and a half.

    Having lots of fun now creating new sites and raising the kids.

    Doing OK here, got my Master's degree, moved to a new place, have an excellent part-time job with benefits which allows me to work on my many new websites for both fun and profit. On top of all of this I have a great new car.

    This was a very bad year for me, I became very anti-social, depresss, I got very bad grades in school, and I started using drugs again. Hopefully next year will be better:)

    2005 was a great year for me, I sure hope 2006 is eaven gonna be better than the past year. Thanks to the digitalpoint forum I learned alot about SEO and I'm planning to launch a couple of my own sites in 2006. Hopefully these will make me some money...
