Luckily, at least in the case of my oldest niece, she has a good head on her shoulders, is smart and when she wants to focus on things she can do a good job at them. She also has realistic goals for herself. She wants to be be a Vet, not a rock star or a model. However, I also have a 20-year-old nephew that is starting a solid career on the wrong side of the criminal justice system.

That's good to hear about your niece. Maybe (hopefully), in the end, her generation will surprise all of us and be healthier and better together than any since The Greatest Generation. I certainly hope so.
Bummer about the nephew but maybe he will learn his lesson and move towards a better life. He's still very young so time to correct mistakes. Fingers crossed, eh?

I've got too many checklists.
my biggest problem is I own around 50 sites..about 35 of them are adult. And about all of them make no money. So, i'm bustin my ballz everyday for nothing...or just to increase my stress load. And to hope Google starts increasing my keyword traffic again. So many of us live and die by the swwwwword. (Google)
then we gotta worry about Google doing another Penguin update every other friggin day.
the stress = never ending.
If only some of these sites would start taking off and making money, it would ease the burden tremendously.
I was doing really good 10 years ago....money was no problem...life was awesome. man, how I friggin dread for those days again. It really is true, when you got a sh!tload of money....your life's stresses are almost nothing, your health improves, you get pu55y like crazy, you start glowing towards the world....everything is easy...and people gravitate towards you...
then there's times like now, where everything is sh!t.

I hear ya man, I really do. I run 33 paysites, a network, a Program, with a fuckload more to come (stay tuned as they say...) and not all make money. Some do, some don't, so I consider myself very lucky. But I absolutely know the frustration of working a site, seemingly to death, and getting almost nothing out of it. It's a killer.
But things ARE cyclical so maybe this means the next phase of your life will be killer again. Like waves on the shore, they come and go, so do the phases of our life (God I hope that isn't from some soap opera...).
Oh - and here I am, checking in with GFY at 2:30 am after a long day of work (13 hours). So who am I to talk right? Good luck man.
