Early Retirement Extreme Forums

@ GPMagnus
Thanks for the suggestion. My problem until now was wasting my salary on websites and content. Not exactly a problem of income but mismanagement and being overoptimistic. Some of my sites lost revenue and the ad rates are getting low because of the recession.

<t>== Month 33 of 60 ==<br/>
At 22% of the target ERE amount. ERE is going to be harder then I previously thought.<br/>
I quited my old work to run my business full-time and is doing OK but not great. Only now I'm hoarding some equity in it. Hopefully this will turn into something big. The good side ...

<t>If it was this easy I would be a millionaire already. Small sites fade away in the index over time. What you want to do is reinvest on the sites that earn good money, ie, not that much different from a regular business.<br/>
Bigger sites attract better advertisers and if you're really big you can ...

Now we are talking.. you're my kind of guy.

Dating websites are so depressing, I can't use them more then 5 min without feeling that I'm wasting my life away, then I'm of to porn and all is good again.

That happened to me, my side business grown and now I'm working on it full-time. Its AdSense + Affiliates, but will deploy other services by summer or end of the year.

My LTR just ended after 3 1/2 years. All because I don't want a marriage, kids and a big useless house. Frankly I wouldn't pay for any meal on a date besides my own.
Save your moneys and instead hire a real nice escort. hehe
Guess I'm a man going my own way..

<t>We are really close to machines surpassing humans in any given task. Just read about Watson. This is not a bad thing in itself. More leisure time and meaningful activities.<br/>
My optimistic opinion is that we are the pioneers of the future, where we don't have to do grunt work at all.<br/>

I stopped caring long time ago. Also trying to avoid group gatherings where there is stress to put people in "categories" of "value".

I worked as a security guard for two months during summer. Night shifts I worked maybe 20m max. I had the parking lot all for myself but I couldn't read or think. Knew others in better places that played video games, browsed the web, etc

Slow Money is king and AdSense the crown jewel

My vote also goes for ThinkPad. They are tough and rugged. Had one T400 at work for two years. The red button is a cool feature for VI/VIM lovers! This neglected feature is what makes ThinkPads worth it

Yahoo bought Associated Content last year (the biggest content farm until now) and its all about ad dollars and the bottom line. Stay away from it if you want quality material.

I think about it sometimes. A secret underground house away from any road with enough stock to last years and completely off-grid.
Don't know if my girl would like to live in that :s

I find it hard that he couldn't find another hobby or skill to fill his time. He was a closet doomer and administered several anti-consumption websites in the past FFS. Quant trading is very very specialized.. something doesn't make sense here lol..

I'm starting to build the Portugal page. Should be fun to build the ERE country index

@ MountainMan,
Where do you live? I dived many times but couldn't find a supermarket without locked bins. I gave up because of gas cost..
