Tell us your story. I meen near poverty stricken people making real nice $ money now. Not stories of living with parents with $10 allowence driving a moped to work. I mean shit like jumping out the eclectric meter stealing electricity to live. Or burning newspapers or running the oven 24 hours a day to keep warm. Eating sardines for dinner with lemon water

Come on bring it be real.

Mishi · 01-11-2004, 12:45 AM

Give me just a FEW more months...

*starts to cry*
I only steal electricity because I HAVE to.

Brujah · 01-11-2004, 12:51 AM

what's wrong with running the oven to keep warm ?

eddie-executive · 01-11-2004, 12:52 AM

Get a hampster wheel generator like i do. The pet store charges $3 a dozen for hampsters. Save alot more then buying gas all the time.

Tip if want more electricity put more hampsters in.

ya, when i was a teenager, my Dad got laid off and we couldnt afford my Cello lessons anymore. it was pretty bleak..

Brad Xtremepay · 01-11-2004, 12:58 AM

Can you still play cello though? If not, I can see your point.

eddie-executive · 01-11-2004, 12:58 AM

no, gone forever. Dad never did get a FT job again, but he started selling hula hoops at the flea markets and we had enough money to buy stale dated canned goods.

TDF · 01-11-2004, 01:02 AM

im always had some kind of hustle,now mines is legal ;-)

SteveLightspeed · 01-11-2004, 01:09 AM

In college I lived for a week on a 3 pound bag of tater tots and a gallon of fruit juice.

Today, I can afford bacon-flavored tator tots and 2 gallons of lemonade.

JoeyAF · 01-11-2004, 01:19 AM

I wasn't wearing rags, but went from a crap leased car I could barely make payments on and a shitty apartment and not being able to afford a url (first sites hosted on IPs lol), to owning both a porsche 911, a boxster and a lex, purchasing a 200k house with cash all in exchange for letting some hot chicks suck on my tool. Not a bad story. That was until two billing processors crashed last year

Fuckers! But rebuilding has made me appreciate it all that much more. Plus forced me to meet lots of new hotties, get my business in order and start my next rags to riches quest to satisfy members, attract affiliates and satisfy my own love of . . . well you know, facials!!

Btw, here's a pic of Kelli in the 911 showing off her titties.

and here's Alicia getting out of the lex after taking a facial:

I feel your pain.

I was a poor university student too. I actually look back on it now and laugh, but it wasn't all that fun at the time.

I remember this one time when I had run out of money, I had a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and jam that had to last me 5 days until I was getting more money. I could have easily asked my dad for some money, but I was too proud to admit that I mismanaged the money he already gave me, so I suffered through it instead.

PersianKitty · 01-11-2004, 01:26 AM

Does eating nothing but mac 'n cheese and hot dogs for day and days so that there's enough money to buy gas for the car so you can get to work to make enough money to do it all again, count?

I remember a few times back in university when I had to ride the bus even though I owned a car because I had run out of money and didn't have enough to put $2 of gas in the tank.

I remember sitting on the bus with all the annoying people thinking how stupid it was that I was riding the bus even though I owned a fully insured car.

Again....I was too proud to ask dad for some money.

Yngwie · 01-11-2004, 01:54 AM

as for me, I got kicked out of highschool 4 times... the 4th time I said fuck this and fuck you.. shortly after I got a computer (at that time I knew nothing about computers) got the net, found out people were making money with porn online. So I decided to give it a shot. Well, it wasn't going as I had thought but I kept trying while people kept saying "you'll never make money. you'll never amount to anything." Well, that was enough to make me prove them all wrong.. Which I did when I was making 10 rimes more money then they were yet they had to work 40+ hours a week and be bossed around while I only worked 45 minutes a day and never get bossed around.. so, in the end I was the one laughing. a good portion of these retards are now pumping gas or have a job where they have to ask "do you want fries with that?" lol. I thrive on people putting me down. It makes me want to work harder so I can spit it right back in their fucking face.

Almost.

Kill the car and turn the mac 'n cheese and hot dogs into Ramen and you're closer.

When it was just me, ramen was okay. Couldn't do that with two young sons at the time.

It's a shame you didn't have money early on for English lessons.

ModelPerfect · 01-11-2004, 04:34 PM

I lived off $180/mo when I was in graduate school. Even with just a 1/4 time assistantship, they wouldn't let you work outside the assistantship, so I snuck online and started in the biz. Finished the degree, but never even tried to use it.
