Hey guys, I've been here for quite a while, with no success story yet.

For what it's worth, I've been failing pretty hard. So hard that my savings
have dried out, as well as freelance opportunities (because TOS on freelance
websites I know became ridiculous, and I neglected the C of CENTS formula
and relied completely on these websites - lesson learned).


But the bills keep coming in, so I need to do something asap:

1. Getting a programming job. I would have a decent pay, keep growing
as a programmer and stay close to trends - all benefitial for one of
my plans - making SaaS and other kinds of apps.

On the other hand, it could eat up a lot of time, and as much as I love
programming, I hate it too. Tired of staring at the screen
and trading time for money. (would love if @healthstatus could comment)


2. Getting a job as a janitor or cleaning houses, to just allow me to get by,
and then focus all my time and thoughts towards making something work,
one idea at a time.


3. Any other idea, proposal? All your feedback is much appreciated.
