That's cool - it's a long thread. I probably said something in one of my later posts that made it sound like I was trying to say something I wasn't trying to say.

I only brought up my college education and job because you said I was bitter because I worked at McDonalds.

If you have a technique or system that works - then I wish the best of luck. Hell, I hope it works out for you. But, keep in mind these are *illegal* at least the one website '12pro' or whatever it is. If you make enough from it and others like it; you might get busted.

But no, I have no problem with people doing it - but I have a problem with Com-Shuk saying it's not a scam and encourging other people from this site to sign up for it and use his affiliate ID.

If he said it's 'shaddy' and you 'can' make money and that it is still paying out now...but that there is a good chance it'll disappear soon; then hey more power to him.

Well thanks.

I guess different strokes for diferent folks. I have a B.S in computer science...

I'll pay my taxes on earnings. I'm not worried about anyone coming after my money hundreds of these companies are around with thousands of members, no way PARTICIPANTS are going to get in trouble. Hell even a lot of the admins never get in trouble and they are hte ones running it. I'm just a passive participant, nothing more, I don't get referrals now(i was gonna try but decided legally it wasn't a good idea). As long as the IRS is happy thats all that matters.

Toproudtogetajob = I now know what you are "Gonnabefamous' for.. that is eternal retardedness

I think it's pretty funny that anyone who refuses to get involved in illegal internet scams is labelled "bitter", "jealous" or some kind of mindless shelf-stacking drone. You guys who think you've tapped into some kind of endless fountain of wealth with this stuff are fooling no-one but yourselves.

If you TRULY want to make a living doing this you CAN. Problem is people don't think of it as a business and usually have a side job so they don't take it serious. This is ALL that i'm doing.

STOP with the thread Hijacking. This is about Pail Graham's essay. Not your BS pyramid schemes.

[TooProudToBB]

Your idiotic essays are common knowledge. Readin a stupid essay isn't going to do any good which is why I didn't even read it.

When do you think this program will go belly-up?? I seem to like the aggressive HYIP's, but honestly... I really think that THIS is pushing it!!

"be part of a small group working on a hard problem."

repeat that like a mantra

"be part of a small group working on a hard problem."

That's the success story of nearly ever major company, atleast from the beginning.

C
1. First and foremost, there is no such thing as everybody becoming rich. Never has been and never will. In order for anyone to make money someone else has to lose money.

Wrong. Money is not finite. Money is created everyday by banks and by people "borrowing" money and paying interest.

You're partially right, however he is right as well. To gain my service or product, you would have to pay me money. It is an exchange.

cool

Subscribed to read later when i have a spare 6 hours.

Definitely a good read. Though as the author indicated, it was just one of many ways to create wealth. I'd like to read his write ups on other ways. This article kinda makes ya want to pursue programming a little bit...

If nothing else, the advice to choose the harder of any two decisions will be advice that I will implement immediately.

[user4165146510]

anyone take anything away from this?

[jehst]

my friend invested in a ponzi when we were in high school. he put his money in and took it out + his profits a week or two later. of course, 5 months later it crashed.

the article is right. the sure-fire way to become rich is just to get a good degree, live way below your means, and invest conservatively for 30 or 40 years.

[onlyhere4misc]

who wrote this essay?

very informative but i want to find our who the author is and the degree of authority this essay holds

Here's another good read that's on Paul Graham's site

It's from a 1986 address to Bell Core(i think).

I didn't read this bull**** because everyone knows to become wealthy you either nead a GENIUS idea OR big money initially. If you're just scraping buy your not going to become wealthy unless you have 100K in the bank and it's still gonna take decades and who wants to set aside 100K if you're living paycheck to paycheck for a payoff when your gonna be in your 50's while living a miserable 30 years?

The adage "You need money to make money is true."

But nowhere does it specify you need to save your own money to make money.

Loans, investors, venture capitalists will all lend money or put money into a great idea in order to make an expected profit. You can leverage THEIR money in order to make your own. You don't need to use your own money.

In fact, that is what this article is about. If you don't have the great idea involved in the start up, give money to the start up to get it off the ground. Then you'll take a share of the returns.

That's the basis of small cap investments or helping companies go public or even helping build a small business that has a good business plan.
