Duh easiest thing to make and it makes billions of dollars. Steve jobs had it easy when he made one? No, he had it easy in hindsight... At the time people warned him he would fail, waste a fortune and come out looking like a retard.

Making money is ALWAYS hard work. Keeping it is even harder. The only exceptions are lotteries and inheritance on a massive scale.

Don't confuse someone who earned money with someone who won the lottery (genetic or powerball variety). Doing that is no better than confusing someone who is poor with someone who is lazy.
well i was only 18-20 depending on when we define what the glory days are. i started messing around with this in 1998 but had absolutely nothing. i lived in the middle of nowhere and thought i was doing great making 10k a month but in reality, its nothing and didn't last. i wanted to start a paysite but had no idea how i would upload the content over dialup..

i didn't have any help aside from my parents letting me use their computer. i grew up wearing clothes from the salvation army and living a house that was falling apart (literally) with no heat in the second floor. maybe i'm just a born failure but had i taken it as seriously as i should of and make a few different decisions, who knows where i might be today but instead i'm still working at it 7 days a week trying and hoping one day to get somewhere other than just average.
