That's a pretty hefty car payment...what kind of car do you have?

Did you buy the condo, or are you renting it?

If you want to work at home and online your best bet is setting up a website.

and putting advertisements, i heard adsense pays good.

the only problem you face is, thinking of an idea.
if your creative i guess that aint a problem..
and making websites nowadays aint really hard with all of these software they got out now.

if your thinking about setting one up, i'll help you out with traffic, i got loads of friends who sit infront of the pc and aint got shit to do all day.
now there you go homie, I do have a website up. I think looking into how to get paid off advertisement is a great start. I think I will go to borders and look for a book on how to get paid off clicks.

I have two cars, a 2000 Chevy s-10 and a 2005 Toyota corolla S

The Toyota is 300/mo and the truck is $50/mo (I got it from a family member and its about paid off)


Im renting the condo (But moving into something cheaper is not the solution im looking for, Im looking to get the hell out of these tech jobs that sound cool but really are quite boring to me, I want to make good money, take vacations whenever I want, and not have to answer to some punk boss who thinks he runs my life)

Honestly going back to school is going to prep me for another career working for the man. I am striving to work for me, doing something either from home or starting up a business. I just need to brainstorm and find a great idea I can run with and make lots of loot. Im not against taking some specialized training that focuses on the skill I need to do what I might do, but headed back to college and taking some bullshit english, math, etc is not an option.

Homie I ain't trying to hijack your thread. But do any of you think working for another person kills your spirit?

I think people of color are born with a certain power given to them by God. I lightweight think every day that I work for another man this power is escaping me slowly.

i wasnt talking about going to college for that

i was talking about going to college for yourself

why use the "working for the man" exscuse when that isnt what i meant, theres many things you can do in college that will enable you to make your own money.

i figured since you were callin people youngins in this thread youd realize that...

Dude, you don't gotta work for yourself. My dad works for a gas company in Columbus, Ohio and he had it set up so he could work from home IF he wanted to/needed to and could come in the other times, as long as his work is done.

You don't necessarily have to work for yourself, you just gotta find the right company.

Most likely, if you go back to college, you shouldn't "have" to take more math and english shit, IF you already took it your first time around. Most schools with count the old credits as fair game to use when you go back...and to be honest...you DO NOT need a degree to do the work...so you could always just learn some shit from workshops or some smaller training....although, some college and even community college courses are good for stuff like that.

Internet Marketing.

You have a Comp degree - you are a leg up on people who make millions doing it.

www.pcmoneymaking.com

This is my homeboy in real life, and he is really doing it like he says on the site.

Dude pulls down a K a day at bare minimum...and his HTML, Java skills are extremely minimal. Its really amazing how little you actually need to know to make money.

I would highly recommend trying out whatever products or programs he offers on the site as a weekend or night project.

In addition, he is a cool, down to earth person, and if you deal with him, he will be available to help you out or answer questions. Good luck in any case bro.

not dumb homie, just looking to do better. Im sure your not married with a family trying to like off 50K/yr. 50K may sound like a lot to some of yall youngsters, but when you break it down its not not enough to do anything other then live paycheck to paycheck off. 50K breaksdown to this:

$1700 paycheck every two weeks

My condo is $1760/mo
That leaves me with $1640 a month

now minus:
Car payment is $350/mo
Insurance is $100/mo
Cable is $100/mo
Electricity is $100/mo
2 Cell Phones $100/mo
Gas $150/mo
Groceries $300/mo
Dank $200/mo
Lunch $10/Day or $200/mo

That leaves me with $40 to pay credit card bills, water bill, student loans, etc


Now do you see how 50K year is nothing to be excited about?

damn man.... i'd be hella depressed if i was in ur situation.

What are the other possibilities to make online anyway?
and in terms of amount, im talking about enough to substitute a real job.

im thinking of running a website.. but i dont have ideas of what to make right now..

and with the billions of sites out there its hard to come up with something original.
