The notion of "life hacking" something as sacred as friendships will no doubt offend a lot of people, as evident by all the negative responses. But I do believe that your closest friends influence your goals, priorities, and outlooks on lif

It is true that are probably many niche markets that pay respectable income to people who are willing to invest 10-20 hours per week. It's just like how many people become successful at their weekend hobbies and sports. But many things thes
