Remember when the economic meltdown happened we were told that several hundred billions in bailout money would rejuvenate and revive everything. Well that was way back in 2008 and the only thing that has really happened is that it is business as usual for Wall Street while the rest of us on Main Street rot!
Do I sound bitter? You bet I do! Having recently watched the excellent documentary "Inside Job" more than ever now I realize how we were duped by bankers, big business and the Government.
It was the con of the century! From what little we know now the big boys were all on the take. Rating Agencies were being paid big bucks by the very companies they were supposed to rate, the incentive being that the better the rating you give us the more money we will throw your way! In the Housing and mortgage debacle things were just as bad.
Mortgages of several million dollars were being awarded to indviduals with absolutely no equity or hope of repaying their loans. Some such ridiculous mortagage loans include the Walmart floor sweeper who cleared for a mortgage loan worth $5,000,000!
The reason why all this insanity could take place was because of the very shady little understood thing called derivatives (something that even bank industry insiders themselves don't understand).
Okay so what has all this to do with you...and the reason you are reading this article? Well it's because when the economy dived deep south I lost my job and practically everything else. This is my story about how I crawled from that very deep and dark place to run a successful internet business and 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! I really love my mornings! How many people can honestly say that. and here's why I love them. I don't have to get in the morning; in fact I don't. I crawl outta bed in the early afternoon!
Here's another great thing about my life today; my office is next door to my bedroom. 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.
This is how it all started...well kinda.
A couple of weeks ago my buddy Jonathan and I were chatting at some cocktail shindig and soon enough we were knee deep discussing 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.
Jonathan 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. Decent folk were being fired all over the nation simply because the economy had tanked.
After a moment of silence Jonathan noted that I didn't seem particularly upset or affected by the recession and I quietly conceded that I wasn't. Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! You should have seen the look on his face. Anyway I then proceeded to tell him how I started to make internet money a few years back.
Living A Handout Existence!
A few years ago I worked 15 hours every single day just to make ends meet. So it's little wonder that I was constantly sleep deprived. But do you know what the funny thing was? I still couldn't get to sleep when I lay down. Crazy huh! As if things weren't already bad enough, I then had to counter those sleeping pills and lack of sleep with mug after mug of coffee that would make even a cowboy cringe.
Was I worried that I was destroying my health? Heck yeah! But I was more worried about not being able to provide for my family.
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!
Hightailing It To An Early Grave!
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.
I was in utter disbelief when the doc told me that I was suffering from sever hypertension. To say that I was shocked is the understatement of the century! I was in complete utter disbelief.
I was in excellent shape... 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!
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.
I simply couldn't continue the way I had been living...that is if I wished to continue living. I had to ger 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 had very little to do with living! So it was there and then that I decided I was going to start my very own online business to make money enough with which to lead the lifestyle I had always dreamed!

Need A Good Reason To Make Money From Home
So if you're being totally honest with yourself why is it that you haven't set up shop online and started your own internet business?
I mean cummon...surely you know that once set up the whole shebang runs on autopilot! Okay I get it you are scared you will be scammed right? No...hmmmm, lemme see then. Okay I got it...you're scared that you will fail right?
Look there's no harm in failure, in fact most of todays greatest success stories blossomed through failure. And besides there is a saying that goes: it is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all!
Anyway this narrative is about my very own story how I got started with my online web marketing business and trust I have nver looked back or had regrets!
These days it really seems unbelievable that there was time I couldn't pay my rent, was drowning from unpaid bills and to top it all had no idea where the next payday would come from.
Truth be told nowadays I do whatever I want. No longer do I have to get up early in the morning to go slave out a job that I hate. Look I get up really late in the morning or anytime that I wish.
Oh did I mention that my office is just down the hall because it is 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.
This is how it all started; well kinda. A couple of weeks ago my buddy James and I were chatting at some cocktail shindig and soon enough we were knee deep discussing the terrible state of the economy. We were in totally agreement that a recession was rooted firmly in place never mind the fact that the government and the media were saying otherwise.
James told me about his brother-in-law who had lost his job and now his house was in foreclosure. Things for him he said were not that bad be nobody was certain about tomorrow anymore especially when people were losing jobs left, right and center. Plain truth of the matter was that people were losing their jobs everyday!
We fell into a momnet of silence lost in our own thoughts when james hesitantly asked me how was it that my family and I appeared not to have been affected by the deep-six of the economy. I confided to him the reason was because the tanking of the economy hadn't affected me at all.
Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! If there was ever an expression that best captured sheer astonishment, it was the look on his face. That's when I told him that some years ago I was so desperate I was left with no option but to make money online.
A Short Breath Away From Living On The Street!
In the not too distant past I used to work three jobs to make sure my family had a roof over their heads. You'd think that being bone tired every waking hour would mean that getting to sleep would be the easiest thing in the world. Perhaps so, but not in my world. I had to numb myself with sleeping pills just to doze for a few hours. 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.
Even then I worried that such a lifetsyle was leading me to an early grave. But you know what? I had bigger worries, namely that there was food on the table and a roof over my family.
Oh! Yet in spite of my best efforts and intentions life seemed to go from bad to worse. My wife and I could no longer see eye to eye because our whole lives then revolved around money; or its lack thereof. It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!
On The Fast Track To An Early Grave!
No doubt about it...my lifestyle was unhealthy. It is well-known that lack of sleep leads to many health problems and that's precisely what happened to me. Oh, let's not forget the bucket loads of coffee that I was quashing everyday too!
If anybody had told me that I had hypertension I would have laughed at them. In fact that's what I did when the doctor told me; until I realized that he wasn't joking! You must be mistaken I said to the doctor.
I was in good shape... I never smoked...drank only a little and never had a history of hypertension in my family. Besides I had barely turned thrity! 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!
In the end the simple truth was that the stress of my existence led to my hypertension.
Those nights I lay awake wondering where, when and if I was going to make a money that week, it definitely took a heavy toll. Fact was if I continued the way I was going there was a strong chance I would be dead before the year was through!
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 subsisiting let alone 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?
Foolish 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!
I Was Left No Other Option 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!

Turn The Internet Into Your Own ATM Cashcow
The internet is a useful tool isn't it...I mean just think of all the things one can do. You can shop for really really cheap stuff, you can find a ton of info (in other words you can research all you want without ever having to leave the comfort of your home) no wonder libraries are going out of existence.
I'm sure there are a gadzillion other uses for the internet such as watching your favorite shows and hooking up with your pals on social media websites but my question is have you ever considered the internet as a tool to make money?
No? Well don't worry that used to be me too not so long ago but today my primary usefor the internet is to make money. The following account is how my internet money adventures started:
Today it seems like eternity since I have had to fret over how I will pay my bills, handle rent and even if I will have a pay check end of the week.
Who would have ever belived it but today I do everything that I desire. 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.
As if my life couldn't get any sweeter I have to tell you that my office is about 100 feet from my bedroom in my house. 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. We were in totally agreement that a recession was rooted firmly in place never mind the fact that the government and the media were saying otherwise.
Things at his place were manageable but he couldn't say that they were great. Christine his wife had lost her job and he couldn't say for certain that his own job was secure. Just last week his close buddy had been let go. Besides they had two kids in college and a single paycheck just couldn't cover it! People were losing their jobs left, right and center from every sector of the economy!
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! The expression on his face was one of utter disbelief so I knew I had to elaborate; That's when I told him that some years ago I was so desperate I was left with no option but to make money online.
Existing A Life of No Existence!
In the not too distant past I used to work three jobs to make sure my family had a roof over their heads. 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.
Was I worried that I was destroying my health? Heck yeah! But I was more worried about not being able to provide for my family.
Oh! Lack of sleep and lack of money has never been the recipe for a happy marriage; or family for that matter. The wife, well she couldn't stop complaining about money, then the kids started acting out. It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!
On The Fast Track To An Early Grave!
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! To say that I was shocked is the understatement of the century! I was in complete utter disbelief.

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!
The way I was living, or rather I should say that the way I was existing was determined to be the cause of my hypertension.
But even as I mentally conceded that I drastically needed to swap out my life I couldn't help worrying about the future. How was I going to make money if I couldn't continue thet way i had been before? Yup! This was certainly a vicious cycle if ever there was one.
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!
