I’m far from being a millionaire, but I think I’m doing quite well and am on my way of completing this rag to riches story in the near future, but what really pisses me off is that recently I started to find some messages in my inbox that asks me to pay for some “favors”.
Ok, I totally understand, that if I borrow money from you I must return it as fast as I have the same sum (that’s why I hate borrowing money.) But what the hell should I think about things like these:
“Hey, how’s it going. I’ve heard that you are doing pretty well now. Oh yes, remember, one year ago I paid for your dinner. Yeah, you had a glass of Cola and a slice of pizza. It was like $26.53. Yeah… I need those money back. See you!”
What the?.. And I kid you not this was like a fifth message this week.
Buddies, I have four words for all of you…
Eat shit and die!
Whatever. Anyway, you have to give those guys credit for creativity, because their email Subject lines are beaming with it — these are the best examples of master copywriting.
For example, here are few of them:
These are few to mention.
So that’s what “grinds my gears.”
Now, on the other hand. I had one debt that needed to be settled and I did it the very best way I could.
Few months ago there was a guy who did help me out and made my path much easier and straighter. He is the reader of this blog and he had showed me that making money online is truly possible and it’s not that hard as I thought before.
His name is Karolis and he usually writes here under the super-secret nickname “Micikas.”
So in exchange for this new belief, that he had installed in my mind, he asked me to donate a 2-months income to the ones that needed it most. And so, after a long time of procrastination (mainly because I always thought that I was the one that needed help most) the debt is finally settled.
I went to the store, bought six bags full of goodies and went to give those out to the poor people. The thing is that there are still two bags left, because I only managed to find 4 homeless guys. But there’s always tomorrow.
And I promise one thing: the next time I’m doing this again, it’s going to be BIG.
No, in fact, it’s going to be HUGE!
You have my word.
PS. I always wanted to start my posts with a drawn cartoon that would have something in common with the post that I’m writing, for example I would have started this post with a cartoon of a man sitting in front of his computer with his wallet open next to him and pulling his hair, while reading emails from different people. But the problem is that I can’t draw (it’s in my “To-Learn” list though.) So I’ve decided to start taking photos of my working place in the time of writing the post and here’s the first one in the series.

These are the people you tell to “get stuffed!” I’ve known people like this and have turned it around on them. i.e. Explaining how much I spent on them, what I did for them and then breaking all ties with them. Or settling the debt evenly, i.e buying them dinner one time, most will say ‘but I want the money’ and you say ‘either this or nothing…’ - 9/10 times they won’t even bother and will leave you alone.
