to get the checks. Yet they spend all morning on this site. Most people on here make less than 75,000. Hell I make 40,000 and my wife makes 15,000. She works part time, to take care of our sick boy. I used to love this place. SO many posters make me sick.
I mean, let’s be honest, none of us knows what each other does here or the details of our personal situations. Nobody knows why/how you’ve been doing the last three weeks or if we’re getting paid or working. Pretty presumptuous to guess no?
I am sorry you feel that way. I don't share your opinion. The only thing I find distasteful about this site is the overt racism, nasty bullying and tiresome white power shit (which is 90% trolling). Other than that the discourse is more or less the way it's been since '99 or so. Bunch of rednecks (me included) flaming the living shit out of each other all day every day along with some decent sports picks thrown in here and there
sorry I make you sick
I was pulling in 32-40k from 2000-2005 after making a dramatic career change. then I jumped considerably from 2005 until mid-2007 leading a team for a large company. I went out on my own mid-2007 which, in my profession, was a terrible decision because the market tanked a year later. I made 10k in 2008 but put away enough from 2005-2007 that I was able to keep my business afloat, barely, until things got cooking in late 2009 and into 2010.
since then I've built a very successful business but one that is certainly tied to the economy so I just saw about 80% of my business fall off last week. But I've done extremely well and nothing has ever been handed to me. I start every year with $0 and eat what I kill...nobody pays me a salary, nobody pays my benefits, i'm 100% commission.
I bet on myself because I hate having a boss and i'm really fn good at what I do. that doesn't mean I will see another dollar of income this year and, if this shutdown continues, I will be laying off my entire team in April.
so if I make you sick then that's on you
I remember making 40k as well doing my 40 hour a week job and learning the ropes.
When you get a little older and become better at your job, you get to start calling some shots, work more hours, and make more money.
Hang in there and best of luck to your son

I made less than $ 75,000, in 1994
Although we did struggle a tad when I first started business 25 years ago
I don't expect any financial assistance
In CT, most families, especially homeowners, make $ 75,000. It's really not fair to set a national standard, probably should be geographic standards

Right in line with what I expected. No wonder your sour and angry. This is why you have the attitude towards others that you do. You think you’re self made and better than others because you run your own business and rely on the economy and don’t need handouts. And then you try to shit on others. You’re still selling your services and like you said if the economy goes under you aren’t shit. You don’t know what self made is pops
so pathetic you cvnts take one sentence out of 5 paragraphs and keep repeating it over and over.
liberal whiny scumbags ... enjoy your $1200. hope it's a real life-changer for you while we add a couple trillion to the debt
if I end up going out of business or laying off my staff I'll be sure to PM you can rejoice in my misery. you've never accomplish a think in your cvnt mick life, and never will. FACT
Better than me at sounding like a sour ass bitch crying about the economy. You should’ve just came out and said that your work depends on it instead of acting like a political whack job in love with everything Trump says. Self made is coming from another country to the United States. Teaching yourself English. Working jobs to pay for yourself to go to school. Graduating. Working a career job or 2. Having a family. That’s real self made boy.
Not this “I started my own business. I’m American! Yeah. All you libtards are beneath me! You need handouts.”
That’s cute. As I expected you aren’t shit.
We need this shutdown for at least another 2 months. Sorry.

Mob,
I'll disagree with you on that one.
Self made is going out on your own, taking the gamble, and becoming successful in business. No boss, long hours, no guaranteed paychecks.
I'm still working 6 days a week during these times right now. Luckily I can still earn revenue. Nobody is paying me to stay home and watch netflix!!
I will take what I described anyday of the week over someone starting up a business in America. That’s what America is for. Anyone can do that. You need a little bit of money and you can start up your business. It’s the most simplest form of self made. Honestly people like this clown think they are better than people cus they run their own business LMfAOz. Fuck his business
