I find it ironic that this blog post is filled with ads from top to bottom. Talk about destroying industries.

Same general complaints could be made by the middle class as a whole. I lost interest in this article when he started talking about being in medical school running up crazy student loan debt AND having TWO kids.

I quit drinking six years ago cold turkey. Working for myself it was always easy to find a time/reason to have a drink and I realized it wasn't heading down a good path. My wife and I were also looking to have kids and I decided I

Advice for a 20 year old aspiring developer? Travel. Go to Europe, get off the grid, see the world. The struggle you will have today and 10 years from now to make $200k will be the same, but you'll never be 20 again. I don't regret anything

I'm sure we can all pick this apart and talk about all the bad decisions she's made. The fact that she'd allow an article to be written about her regarding this just shows that she's certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed. The only thi

I'll also add that I do understand what you're saying. I have been self employed for 16 years and my wife worked as well so there was somewhat of a cushion. Back in 2008, though, my first son was born 3 months premature and I had this "oh s

I don't follow... how does having student loans put a stranglehold on your ability to set off on your own? Saying you're "forced" to work for others seems a little dramatic. Self employment isn't about working in your PJs as much as it is a

The reason I will never even consider trying Path again is the fact that I am still receiving text message invites from when my wife briefly signed up a year ago. Better yet, the last one came through at midnight. I'm pretty sure she cancel

Honestly, it's hard to say because I have had more success lately but it could be attributed to many things. I would say it has played a role in that but wasn't the single contributing factor. Either way, it is definitely one of the more us

A colleague of mine was a finance major and said in one of his higher level finance classes on the first day the professor asked, "Who wants to make a million dollars?". Of course, everyone raised their hands and he responded, "ok, go write

The author does a great job of telling you the types of questions to ask to set the stage for value based billing (how will you measure success) but also how to write proposals. I highly recommend this book if you are wasting your life on h

As many others have stated, I appreciate the honesty and am inspired by the success. My question is how much of these revenues from products (info and SAAS) are paid out to affiliates? I would guess the numbers are significant.

Get off of HN and get some things done. Most of these situations are self inflicted either by not getting things done on time or not managing expectations. The minute you actually talk to people and explain the situation, right or wrong,

Perhaps I'm wrong on what exactly he was getting at, but to apply it to myself I think it's more about wasting time in general. I know I look at HN for inspiration and to stay on top of what is new in my industry. Over time, though, that

I like the concept but I couldn't even watch the whole promo video. I get the impression the show would be like the pitch video (which is the hard thing about pitching video with video) in which case I definitely would never watch it. If
