Desperation Drove Me To Make Money Online!

[ Posted On: 2008-05-26 ]

It has been a while now since I have had to worry about such things as paying the rent, paying bills and if, where and when my next pay check is going to come from.

In fact these days I pretty much do as I please! Most days I wake up very late in the morning (or early afternoon depending on my mood) and if I feel like it I drag myself into the office for an hour or so of extremely effortless work.

My office by the way is about a hundred feet down the hall from my bedroom; it's my study!

But I'm getting ahead of myself, because I'm beginning this story back to front. So let's go back to the beginning (well actually somewhere in the middle) so you can see how I ended up where I am today.

Anyway a few days back my neighbor Bill and I were chatting and soon enough our conversation turned to the terrible state of the economy. Having both agreed that a recession was firmly rooted in place, we then swapped stories about people we knew who had been personally and deeply affected by the downturn in the economy.

Bill remarked that so far he had survived the worst of it and was pretty sure that his job was secure for now, but he couldn't help wondering how long that would last if things got any worse. People were losing their jobs left, right and center from every sector of the economy!

After a moment of silence Bill noted that I didn't seem particular upset or affected by the recession and I quietly conceded that I wasn't. Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! The expression on his face was one of utter disbelief so I knew I had to elaborate; this then is my story, how and why I started to make money online.

Living Paycheck To Paycheck!

There was a time not too long ago when I was pulling double shifts just to make ends meet! The weirdest thing was that despite the fact I was always tired, I still had to pop sleeping pills on a daily basis just to get to sleep. Crazy huh! Making matters worse, I then had to literally drown myself in coffee to attain a minimal state of wakefulness, enough so as to be able to do my job.

I was well aware that I was ruining my health but I really didn't have much choice in the matter because that's the price you pay for living paycheck to paycheck--constant strain and worry!

Oh! And don't even get me started on how the situation was corroding my marriage. It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!

Working Overtime Towards An Early Grave!

I lived in that fashion for far longer than I care to remember and possibly might still be doing so today had it not been for the fact that one day I was diagnosed as having hypertension.

I was shocked! I told the doctor there had to be some mistake!

I was in good shape...I didn't smoke...I drank rarely and there was no history of the disease in my family. It was impossible! How could I have hypertension? I was barely 30 years old!

Eventually it was determined that stress was the cause of my hypertension.

All those sleepless nights consumed with worry about where the money for tomorrow would come from, nights where I'd lie awake staring in the dark wondering what tomorrow would bring--it took its toll and my health was the price I had to pay!

And that's when I realized I couldn't continue living the way I was. In fact it was at that point it dawned on me that what I had been doing was--Existing Not Living!

Which brings me to a question I have been dying to ask you because the fact that you are reading this lends me to believe your situation is not unlike mine once was. Anyway this is the question:

Do You Know What You Would Do If You Had Financial Freedom?

Silly of me to ask--of course you do!

I bet you would do what anybody else in the world would do! You would:

Live The Life That You Always Wanted!

Do you know the difference between people who really enjoy life and those who are simply passing through?

The people who truly enjoy life are the ones who are doing exactly what they want to be doing. Such people are easy to spot--they always look happy!

As for the others, the one's who simply pass through life as if it was a series of duties like paying bills and taxes--life to them is just an existence that has little room or time for happiness! They are simply too busy trying to make ends meet they have no time to really appreciate life.

And after you've existed that way for some time any other kind of lifestyle becomes unimaginable! I should know; after all that was me not too long ago!

No Way Out But To Make Money Online!

I realized I had to make drastic changes to my life fast otherwise sooner than later I wouldn't even have one. My health was on the blink and my marriage wasn't doing any better either! I needed money and I needed it yesterday!

But what was I going to do? I couldn't go back to school because I evidently couldn't afford it otherwise I wouldn't be in the crummy situation that I found myself in.

I couldn't take another job because there simply wasn't enough time in a single day and besides my body couldn't handle it either. No! There had to be another way; some way that had minimal startup costs yet enabled me to make more money in a relatively short period of time.

So I turned to the internet, did some research and learned how to make money online. The rest, as the saying goes, is history!
