Around this time last year, I bit the bullet and got a job. I felt terrible about it, and I thought it wouldn't last.. or that I wouldn't last. I made a thread about it here. It was a HUGE life decision for me.. I was probably more stubborn than most of you holdouts to be honest.. I held on way too long.

But a year later I'm still at the new job, I make $40/hr to go to meetings and manage some projects part time. I've met so many new people, gained confidence, and realize there's so much more out there.

Also I've used tons of the things I learned over the years running my sites at my new job, and I'm learning so much more that I would have never learned if I just kept looking at porn all day.

I've new side projects of my own coming up, I'm outsourcing instead of doing everything myself so I can scale, and I'm a partner in a new business with 2 multimillionaires.

All in a year.

The best part is that people look up to me now, instead of just me looking down on myself.

I haven't really touched my adult stuff for a while now, and I don't even feel it's worth paying someone to update them to be honest.. Diminishing returns, and the worst part - no motivation... No pot of gold at the end of the tunnel. Low expected value. That was just too depressing for me to put in an honest day's work towards.
