I work at my uni teaching economics to first years, i work as a salesman - between these two jobs I can easily get 10 hours of work a day averaging about A$70* per hour (which is now about US$66 an hour). On the weekends i work as a lemming on a production line which doesnt pay nearly as well (about $22*), but again i can get plenty of hours in. So, 10-12 hours of day of work (which doesnt include travel to and fro, and 15 mins for lunch), 7 days a week. Further, i live quite frugally, so i manage to accumulate quite a bit of money per week.

now, as this is an internet forum, i dont feel like i have to go into huge amounts of detail about what i actually do each day, what i spend my money on, who i sleep with. I dont think thats appropriate. If, Zar, you dont believe me, then frankly i dont care. I will still accumulate money regardless of whether you think its possible for me to do so. Hopefully i'll be able to retire in 15-20 years so i dont have to work my arse off, sleep <=4 hours a day (though playing PA helped with that ) and get a good start in life. Whilst i dont pretend to come from the most dirt poor upbringings, it was modest. My parents were able to afford a private school education (UK=public school) and that was about it. It was up to me to make something of it, which i am endeavouring to do.

Thus, in true GD style, is this where i ask you to fk off and die?
