The general idea is "companies exist to make money, at least enough to cover there expenses". So if you've been so succesful and have discoved how to make money yet, but you have figured out how to spend money, that does seem a situation that begs for questions. But if you don't want people to ask questions, you can always ask them that they are asking stupid questions.


No, we can't. Because we will not know what will be done with the information about the packets that are not blocked eiter. And because there is a lot of other information that "the authorities" will not want us to have, if it's possible to block child pornography it they will get a lot more idea's about what they want to block.


No market is rational.


Why not start with looking to reduce montly spending, then cutting incidental spending and then see if you can earn more? If you are unwilling to look at your spending, more income will not save you.


SUCCES!


Why are you curious to know this? You can ask this question about the complete Diagnostic Statistical Manual, so why are you so interested in autism?


I am autistic and I am sorry for offending everybody.


This is not a fast reaction, it's the correction of a situation that shouldn't have existed in the first place. Searchme is cutting excesses. If your big plan is to cut in gym memberships and massages, then you're in trouble. The people they are firing are probably support staff, not hackers.


This article missing the point completely. There are two valuable point to make about earning more money, and neither of them are in it. - When you make more then you need, making more doesn't make you happier. - When you make more then you need, you might adjust your spending to it and start believing you need so much money. Then having a high income actually reduces your freedom.


Definitely. The ideal (for me anyway) would be enough of a salary to live on, and a good bonus - to stay lean, but still be well rewarded.

High salaries are a two-pronged strategy for a company. First it aids retention by "trapping" employees in a lifestyle. Secondly it raises barriers to entry for direct competitors. So long as you are aware of what's happening, enjoy it while it lasts, and make sure you stash some away.


Yeah - like you are going to refuse a pay rise?

I have yet to meet someone who does not want more. However, rationalizing that you are at the perfect pay now is a good strategy for happiness.

Velshin,

That is reality. But it is also reality that these kind of amounts (if you're careful in what you're spending), can be earned in a few days a month doing something you're good at. Just trust in your own qualities.
