Shit you can live large on 60K a year if you try. That leaves 600K plus interet you WOULD of had in 2021. Or 300K if you make 5 years.
Instead some of you WILL regret the money you are pissing away on Vegas and all the shit that young guys blow money on.
I know EVERYONE is a baller and needs 200K to live "properly".
When the income drops someday (from this VERY iffy business) and the cash goes bye bye I will be playing "my heart cries for you"
Respect the cash is all I am saying. (not to anyone in particular) |
I agree Vjo, I was fucked when i lost the avn gig... I never expected it to go away... but ad revenues sank, revenues sank, we layed off 70% of staff and cut down from 5 mags to one. On top of that tradeshow sales were tanking... avn was in every declining biz model that ws hit the hardest - its a miracle they survived...
M ylifestyle and bills were at 200K , and suddenly i was on unemployment...
I will NEVER make that mistake again... I downsized my car, sold my house, etc etc....
