Working your ass off barely making enough whist others involved in crime earn in a week what you do in a year? :francis:

And yes I’m aware that you get a peace of mind but bear in mind that most criminals, especially those those at the top rarely get arrested. Most of them do actually get away with it and get to enjoy their money.

Not gonna lie, I do sometimes think this way but am I built for that life? :patrice:

Yeah for sure. I always think to myself, there's so much money to be made on this internet I've just got to find a way. You have access to billions of people for mostly free to make money off of whether by directly selling or indirectly like YouTube ads. I mean there are 13 year olds making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year doing ASMR vids and other random shyt, wtf am I doing slaving away for way less than that.

You don't even have to be super popular to make a living either. I know someone making ~100k off YouTube with less than 100k subs. Just does YouTube tech review vids on the side.

9 to 5 is sucker shyt but that's because capitalism.

Being a criminal is the same shyt.

Did the criminal shyt for a while, looking over my shoulder, sleepless nights, worrying about snitches, worrying about undercovers wasn't cool.

No. Unless we are talking BMF level types the average "street nikka" isn't making any real money selling drugs/scamming or whatever:mjlol:.

Lol and them BMF dudes ain't ever coming home.

Being a major league criminal is like being a sports star. You have a good 6 to 9 years and you are going to fall off.

Lol with RICO, lol all you gotta do is order someone to do something or facilitate a criminal act and you seeing football numbers.

Then you have Interpol, so not like you can hide in another country and chill out.

Point is, if you have the time of your life for 6 to 9 years go for it. If you think you gonna get away with being a big time criminal, as a USA citizen especially, then LOL.

:hubie:Trade work ain't no walk in the park like people romanticize it to be.

truth be told it's not the work

it just we work waaaaay too much

makes zero sense for people to be working 8 hour shifts and it's about to be 2020, and yet all you get is a measily lil week off from work. bullshyt.

Same here. 2 days a week wfh.

I don’t mind going to the office, Downtown DC have the best happy hours.
The area where my job is, isn’t fun or cool and the highway exits are 3 miles apart. I hate driving there. Good news is I get there so early, traffic is usually light.
