Hey Everyone

[Young Spark]

Hey everybody... Dustin here, just updating everyone to let ya'll know that I am doing good. Unfortunately, my internet was cut off (as it being with Comcast and my cable is behind 2 months... not my fault and not really into explaining.) Therefore, I am using the public library's computer and only have 30 mins. remaining.

I just wanted to say I was trying to look for ways of being able to supplement the $240 needed to turn my cable back on and I only found one idea (not being creative but its the only thing for now.) I have a couple of items's I'd like to sell and I know what I have so far will not supplement the entire $240, but it'll get me a start (seeing I have $60 at the moment.)

I know I may get scolded for this, but if this is considered spam Daniel (although I am selling personal items that I have, nothing like business items and trying to lure people to a site) -- please remove immediately and send me a PM letting me know.

Anyway, here is some items I have for sale:

Microsoft Money 2003, Deluxe and Business Edition - $20 + Shipping (Paid $30 a While Back)
LinkSys Vonage Phone Adapter - $40 + Shipping (Paid $55)
C++ for Dummies, 4th Edition - $15 + Shipping (Paid $25)
TechTV's Start an Online Business - $15 + Shipping (Paid $25)

If your interested, send me a PM... I can't guarantee when I'll get your reply but hopefully soon. I just changed from Vonage (since my internet is gone, I need a phone through the PSTN phone line (regular phone service)) -- with that, I may get DSL temporarily (so I can scoop up some website work and get some jobs done and supplement a little more. With the $90 from the above and the $60 I have, I'll be almost 3/4 of the way there.

If anybody has any advice, please help me, thanks a bunch.

I believe there is one thing you can do to get money. It begins with a 'J' I think. I don't have the time to look into it, but maybe someone else knows that I am talking about?

[DrMoney]

No reason to be a (I know it begins with a D, and ends with a K)

Hes asking for help, not sarcasm.

[Young Spark]

Ah... SendBlast, its the little people that still gives me hope in becoming what I want to thanks for the sarcasm though, and God knows it doesn't take a suit and a demand for a job, you should know the world of entrepreneurship (if not, then why would you be here... either to learn or NOT to learn) that employers get a lot of requests for a job and SOMETIMES you may get picked, sometimes not, but it also doesn't help technically to submit countless applications to all different jobs. Why? Because then your showing desperation and employers want "dedication" not "desperation."

Either way, thanks for the "valueless" tip I really (no REALLY) appreciate the effort you put into helping me

[SendBlast]

ooh sparky, take it in stride. eventually youll need money as it is a recurring bill. so, youll ask this question next month. learn from this, and look for ways to get this income other than selling things you still value.

a.k.a...a job - dont take it the wrong way.

and if you were referring to me as being the 'little people', you might have me on pounds, but thats about it do what you gotta do broham

[Young Spark]

^^ Ha ha, well my best advice is to just please don't be sarcastic as quite honestly... sarcasm won't get you ('nor me) anywhere for that matter. The point of asking myself this time next month... not likely. All I needed was to get my internet turned back on and my website work would be able to pay for it next month, a freelance job would support next month's payment in short. And who said I value the items, *pst* please... there useless junk to me. The books never been read and everything is still in great shape, its just a clutter to the rest of my home... that's why I want to sell them, 1 for some money and 2 so that I can get it out of my house.

That's about it...

[SendBlast]

usually cable and internet are a monthly thing...so thats where i would suggest a constant income. and youll eventually run out of stuff to sizell.

[Young Spark]

All internet is a monthly thing, life now-a-days ain't shyt but "monthly this and monthly that." So I mean... the cable included internet service (I had Comcast Digital Package and Comcast Internet.) So it was a win win for me if you ask me. Either way, I can definitely pull $120 a month for it (only thing is its in my mom's name and she paid the cable bill most of the time and I chipped $46.00 for the internet portion... well, she seemingly let it fall behind, hence for my mom's mistake I need to get my internet back on.) But hey, can't blame my mom for it... you gotta love ya mother reguardless and still, life is a bit hard with the "natural paycheck to paycheck" lifestyle.

[SendBlast]

I would still go with a job, at least its reliable

[Young Spark]

Yeah... for some, but not for other's (who have a goal and are willing to give up a extra paycheck to better themselves like me and trying to take as much time to learn more cash flows so I can expand what my business caters to *right now its just real estate notes, I want to learn annuities, structured settlements, lottery winnings, etc.*) Plus I live in apartments, if I get a job it'll throw our rent up by $200 which also means I won't be able to keep any money to keep the internet turned on either way (since our rent when I was working was like $700 a month and my mom couldn't handle that by herself and I tried to help but each time the rent was paid on time, they'd take it for granite and raise our rent a bit for the following month.)

In short, I'm working as a freelancer right now and that decreases the rent back to its $400 a month and I am also having more time to grow my business.

[SendBlast]

Always nice to have that steady stream of income

[Young Spark]

^^ To some, to other's, as I said, there are bigger and better rewards with the essence of time. In short, its fine... but can we please leave the topic here and if anyone wants to purchase the above they can hit me up.

[The Stealthy One]

Young Spark, did you get everything worked out?

[Young Spark]

Nope... I'm surviving off of AOL right now what more can I say, it was a last resort... and although I prefer Comcast cause of its speed, I may get Verizon DSL for now... ugh, Imma miss the speed though. Although I did figure out if I sign up for Comcast in my own name online I can get it for $135 a month (that's with Cable and 2 premium movie channels) so I may go with that instead... that includes 8Mbps uploading (I can't remember whether this is fast or slow... but 6Mbps was blazing quick --- Either way, I am working on it still.

[Will]

I may be interested in Microsoft money 2003... whats it got? I am wondering if it will help me with my online business, its not that big though! Thought I could help ya out along the way too I guess.
