I was So Broke I Was Left No Choice But To Make Money Online

That nightmare where I couldn't pay the rent or my bills or had absolutely no idea where my next paycheck was coming from almost seems unreal these days.

In fact these days I pretty much do as I please! Gone are those days when I had to get up at the crack of dawn just to get ready for work that I totally loathed. That's right, my mornings these days are spent lazing in bed.

Yes life couldn't be any better especially when my office is a couple of rooms down the hall. it's my study!

My apologies! As usual I have started this narrative at the end of the story not at the beginning so permit me to correct that error by going back to the beginning. 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 not so long ago I was having a barbecue at my place with my friends and neighbors when inevitably the conversation honed in on the dire situation of the economy of today. Both of us had friends and family who had suffered setbacks since the 2008 collpase of the economy.

Frank conceded that thankfully so far he and his family had scraped through faily unscathed but with somebody being fired every other day at his workplace, he could not be sure for how much longer his job was safe. Plain truth of the matter was that people were losing their jobs everyday!

After being lost in our private thoughts for a minute or two he joked that I must be a secret Wall Street trader because my world seemed as peachy as it had ever been since we became neighbours. The reason for that, I answered, was that inspite of the collapse of the economy my life had never been better. Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! Talk about a look of utter disbelief. Without further ado I revealed to him that 3 years ago I was in such a bad place that I was literally in a spot where it was make money online or disappear.

A Short Gasp From Living On The Street!

A few years ago I worked 15 hours every single day just to make ends meet. Wackiest aspect of constantly working was that when it was time to sleep I had to down sleeping pills to tranquilize myself to sleep. Crazy huh! Compounding an already messed up situation I then had to down coffee after coffee ot keep my eyes barely open.

Sure...anyone in my sitaution would have worried about the health consequences of leading the lifestyle I was living but then again what could I do. There was no way I was going to jeopardize my family's existence.

Oh! Life was bad...real bad for me everywhere. I guess it would have been okay if we could have kept the nasty problems of life at bay outside the front door but unfortunately we couldn't. There was no denying it my marriage was marooned on the rocks! It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!

Speeding My Way To The Cemetery!

It's strange to think baout it now, how a serious medical condition ended up saving my life. I shuddder to think that if I hadn't been diagnosed with severe hypertension I would still be leading that futile ratrace that my life had become.

At first I thought the doctor was joking when he said that I had serious hypertension. But then it began to dawn on me that this was no joke, that's when the shock belly-punched me! I just couldn't believe it...this was a mistake, there had to be another explanation.

I was in good shape... Perhaps if I smoked, drank heavily, was overweight or had a family history of hypertension then and only then would I reluctatnt concede that I was suffering from hypertension. But I suffered from none of those hallmarks! 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!

For along time I was angry at the doctor who had diagnosed me. That's right after a battery of tests I now accepetd that I had hypertension but I still felt cheated. I didn't lead the polluted lifestyle like binge drinking and smoking that commonly ended in hypertension.
When all is said and done it was worry that was my undoing. The constant stress and fretting...sure it may have been invisible but like it as not its damage was very real and very visible. It occurred to me that if I wanted to see my kids grow up then I'd have to change the way I was liviing.

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!

Backed Up Against A Hard Spot My Only Option Was 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!

My situation Was So Bad I Had To Make Money Online!

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 people I guess cannot stand their mornings but I gotta be honest with you nowadays I simply love mine. But that was not always the case because back then I had to get up at an ungodly hour.

Oh did I mention that my office is just down the hall. It's my study!

However let me start this story properly and not 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.

So my good friend Frank was over at my place for a small gathering when unsurprisingly we started discussing the woeful state of the economy.

Both of us knew people who had been devastated by the downturn of the economy and not matter what the national polls and popular news accounts said about a rebound we both agreed that this may have been so for those fat-cats on Wall Street who caused this mess in the first place, but certainly not for the average hardworking individual.

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!

A minute or two of silence elapsed then Frank remarked how was it that I seemed little affected by the downturn of the economy. I guiltily admitted to him that was because the collapse of the economy hadn't affected me. Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! You should have seen the look on his face. Without further ado I revealed to him that 3 years ago I was in such a bad place that I was literally in a spot where it was make money online or disappear.

Living Paycheck To Paycheck!


A few years ago I worked 15 hours every single day just to make ends meet. Wackiest aspect of constantly working was that when it was time to sleep I had to down sleeping pills to tranquilize myself to sleep.

Crazy huh! Compounding an already messed up situation I then had to down coffee after coffee ot keep my eyes barely open.

I was pretty sure I wasn't doing my health any favors but that was the price I had to pay living in the paycheck-to-paycheck universe.

Oh! Despite everything I did though live wasn't getting any better at home. The wife and I we constantly squabbled about money or more accurately how to make money; at least enough of it. It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!

Highway To The Grave!

I led that unhealthy lifestyle far longer than I care to recall and the scariest thing is that I could still be in that hole if I hadn't gotten diagnosed with severe hypertension!

I was shocked! You must be mistaken I said to the doctor.

I didn't have headaches, I never felt dizzy or light headed in fact other than feeling tired I felt 100%... I drank only occasionally...was never a smoker and because of my jobs did more than plenty enough exercise.
Topping that I was just 30 years old! 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.

I simply couldn't continue the way I had been living...that is if I wished to continue living. I had to get rid of the stress and the only way I could do that was to make more money without digging my own grave at the same time.

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:
