I like this question better:

How much more could I make (percentage, say), what would I have to do to get there, and would it be worth it?

It's generally a long road involving WORK to make more money, in any field. Invest in education level, do time with long hours, carefully build a network, improve communication skills, develop specific in-demand skills, invest in a better wardrobe, etc. I slaved away for a decade before any real signs of it being "worth it" appeared...

Finishing middle and high school doesn't count as 'putting in the hours' and its a lot easier to network when youre at school.

Thanks for taking the time to write a nonsensical response. Very helpful.

Nonsense must be relative in this case - youre obviously too stupid to understand what I was saying.

Btw, your time on Daves ESL cafe is over.
No one cares what you say any more and youre seriously effecting the mood of this place - in a negative way. I cant even read a thread anymore without being subjected to your dribble constantly.
It was a bit slow before but now its just blighted with the infestation that is you. Therefore all you will be able to do is antagonize, troll or aggressively argue. You should get a sock, use your older sock or change sites.
Kimchininja is finished.

And, incidentally, there was one poster on here who was a high income individual and posted quite frequently. His name was JongoGuru, and nobody ever accused him of being a troll. Attempt to guess why?


Don't know, don't care. You guys are the ones obsessed with this stuff...


Well he died in a vehicle accident asshat, thanks for the sensitivity. You always cease to amaze.

Yet I'm the one who writes a calm rational helpful response to the above question (what it takes to permanently move yourself into a higher income bracket). Because I'm the one who as done it. Meanwhile you guys usually post 10+ nonsense replies to my reply, all pointless name-calling, "your a liar", and such.

I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Feel free to stop posting stupid replies to everything I say though. Idea

Well, no, you *claim* to have done it. Psychology 101 reveals that you have low self-esteem (you're belittling of others points to this) and thus, you don't have the iron-clad ego that real wealthy people have. Thus, your troll status.

Pro-tip: People who *in reality* have made it, don't frequent message boards populated by the young and destitute and lord their money over them. *If they did, they have problems.*

Take your pick: Rich troll (doesn't exist), or liar with issues.

Here we go again; "you are a liar, we think people like ___ must behave like ___, because we brilliant ESL teachers apply psych 101 and conclude you are a ___".

Yet I exist. Already seven pointless posts, since my intelligent post, and it will probably hit a dozen+. Then you guys complain about, what you yourself caused. LOL

No, not really. Wealthy people don't frequent websites like these to belittle others. It's simple psychology. Have I identified myself as a "brilliant ESL teacher"? No, that's your label. What I am is a being smarter than you, who knows that you are a scarred, damaged being with a need to appear superior to others.

Perhaps if it is said for the 1001th time it will become true?

We are now up to around nine pointless posts...

No, sweetheart, you're up to several hundred, perhaps thousands, of useless posts.

Pro-tip: I'm smarter than you, I have a better education than you, I have more money than you, and my motivation is for a-holes like you to stop posting. And, what's funny is, you make this easy for me. You are now on my radar. All I have to do is paint your stupid arguments into a corner which, once again, pro tip, won't be hard, and you'll dive underground to resurface as yet another troll. Yippee.

Let's continue this dance. You haven't been my first and you won't be my last. You're simply the most recent to earn my ire. (And you're arrogant, and stupid, which will make this more fun for me. for which I thank you.)
