If you believe your "side business" can compete with people that quit their corporate jobs to commit completely to their business, then you are completely delusional.
A side business is small, manageable and produces cash. The real trick is to scale up the business and hire people to run it for you without your involvement. You want to become a business owner and not an employee of your own business.
$220/month car insurance (full coverage for a 20 year old is about $2600/year)
I paid $1,600 cash for the 15-year-old cars I've had in the past and only paid $300 per year on liability insurance from AAA. I don't even have a car now and I pay $78 for driver insurance.
For everyone who starts a side company and succeeds, there are 100 that fail [...]
The faster you fail, the faster you can find that successful business idea. You may have to fail 10, 50 or 100 times before you find success. Each failure is a learning process for the next time attempt. When I had my bankruptcy trustee hearing in 2011, an older gentleman astonished the trustee by being on his fifth business bankruptcy in 50+ years. As old as he was, he was probably starting his sixth business.
Not sweating enough to feel that you've left any residue on the machine;
That's the whole point of wearing gym clothes. I'm not going to wear a Speedo, jump on the treadmill and splatter everyone in a ten-feet radius.. Skinny ass guys do that all the time — and then not wipe down the treadmill. It's a disgusting habit. Just as bad as skinny ass guys who scream like pregnant women while lifting weights.
Don't they just need to wait for their parents to die?
The Baby Boomer parents are too busy spending their inheritance. All that they're going to get is a bill from Uncle Sam to pay for Social Security/Medicare and everything else.
Well GAWSH, start a million dollar company, why didn't I think of that?? That's one of those things that is easy to say but almost impossible to do.
If you're making $1M per year in a corporate job, you should focus on investing. Otherwise, having a corporate job that pays the bills will make it easy to start a side business.
Just because it was used commonly doesn't mean it was the proper term.
I guess my Special Ed teachers didn't get the memo. Their job wasn't to teach but to babysit as the school collected extra funding from the state for doing nothing.
One of the most insightful comment in "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki was when Rich Dad said: "Why climb the corporate ladder when you can own it?"
If you're working for a corporation and expect the corporation to make you rich, you're doing it wrong.
A corporate job should pay the bills while you nurture a side business that will eventually replace your income from the corporate job. Work as an owner, not an employee.
Your claim that you don't drip sweat on the gym equipment leads us to conclude one of the following:
WRONG! I claimed I didn't drip like a fire hydrant that skinny ass marathon runners do at the gym. My sweat is contained by the workout clothes that I wear and a gym towel that I wipe my shaved head with.
I wasn't joking. I had a scheduled task that would reboot my PCs every 45 days because of this crash bug. At my current job today we reboot workstations after 30+ days of uptime just to make sure that they patch properly each month.
It wasn't Windows XP, but rather Windows 95 that would crash after 49.7 days of continuous usage.
I'm still chuckling about how you think "girls" talk about you...
Women who prefer messy sex calls me Heavy Creamer. I'm a big guy. I can deliver in volume. Continue on with your sexual fantasies about me. Makes great entertainment for everyone else.
Active shooter in the building, wait for instructions from security or police.
And why would the IT manager not simply call security and have the offending employee removed - either to police custody, or to a treatment program for his apparent nervous breakdown?
Security was recording everything on the hallway cameras.
I guess this sort of Mickey Mouse idiocy is what I'd expect from a company that would hire you.
This happened at hospital. The contracting agency I worked for had nothing to do with hospital security.
Or maybe Opera couldn't switch their tool chain over to exclusively 64-bit iOS apps? Apple is planning to drop 32-bit apps from the app store. A friend who tests iOS apps told me that this is a big problem for some 32-bit app developers.

Does this come before or after the $.99 ebooks and the blog advertising money?
Those are two ways I make money. Can you name the 28 other revenue streams that I have?

For a guy who farts butter, you talk a big game.
Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that big guys shouldn't be shy.

Sweating is normal in a gym, not when typing at the keyboard,
It's not even summer yet.

Guess which one it is?
You're full of shit. Try again.
I'll gladly trade all the Fry's Electronics stores in California for a Micro Center store. The one we had in Silicon Valley closed years ago.
Mongolism is an offensive term that only a mongoloid would use.
That was the proper term used in the 1970's. Political correctness came later.
Oh wait, it's creimer. Yeah, never mind - monumental stupidity is sort of your jam, isn't it?
Oh wait, it's an asshat! Writing paragraphs after paragraphs in a futile attempt to insult me. ROFL
I think everyone else just recoils in horror when reading about your twisted psyche.
Says the asshat who keeps mentioning my "imaginary" sex life whenever possible.
There's bigger people than you?
Two, three or four times bigger than me. I'm skinny in comparison to these people.
But I bet you were required to wipe it down after the flight.
Uh, no.
You're used to that from all that time you spend in the gym, right?
I'm not some skinny ass marathon runner who drips like a fire hydrant all over the treadmill.
You completely screwed up that joke.
I wasn't joking. I had a scheduled task that would reboot my PCs every 45 days because of this crash bug. At my current job today we reboot workstations after 30+ days of uptime just to make sure that they patch properly each month.
It wasn't Windows XP, but rather Windows 95 that would crash after 49.7 days of continuous usage.
I stand corrected.
That must have been patched in the time since you last used XP.
The last time I used WinXP was in 2012.
I've got XP machines which run (patched) much longer, no problems.
IIRC, The crash bug was pre-SP1.
How did you ever manage to keep the machine up for that long?
By not turning them off. ;)
My favorite WinXP crash bug was the crash that happen every 45 days of continuous uptime.

And "lockdown protocol" is what, exactly?
Active shooter in the building, wait for instructions from security or police.
And why would the IT manager not simply call security and have the offending employee removed - either to police custody, or to a treatment program for his apparent nervous breakdown?
Security was recording everything on the hallway cameras.
