I absolutely know what you mean, and there are many friends I would not do something like that with. But with this particular friend, it's okay. He won't perceive it in the same way as some other friends I have. It's like with some friends

Well...I did it to prove to him that I actually have the money and it's his for the taking, and I'm not just talking idly. I don't really think he is aware that I have a lot more money than he does, since we hang out the same way we've hung

What happened is that I took a risk, and let's just say I lost even more than before. I had to move in with my parents, and I think that's what really changed my attitude. Because before, I was just hanging on. Like, every month I made just

I think this story basically demonstrates that once you focus on the money and simply do many projects that quickly bring money, you will be successful in making money. The biggest problems with most startups is that they focus too much on
