Hello everybody,

I was born and raised in Europe and now i ended up in USA (we all make mistakes huh jk).
Honestly, I lived in texas for a bit and then i moved to michigan. I hated it there and here...some very stupid laws (alcohol, guns etc). Now however, I am a sophomore in college.
I like it here now lol . College life is great!

I don't want to make this boring to read but since i came here i couldn't work...i never had a SSN so yeah. The way i used to make money was by snow shoveling, racking leaves and random other jobs. Nothing wrong with that....as long as there's a way to make money.

I'm majoring in hospitality business and i need to do couple of internships. Last week, after 4 months of waiting i received my F-1 visa. With that, TODAY March 9, 2009 I applied for my SSN. In two weeks i should have it. Good news since i can do my internship, advance educationally and also finally have a job (it's paid).

So all is good...the only major drawback is that i live with my parents (i came here because my dad got a job at the univ). While i do love them dearly and i like spending time with them....i'm 19 and i want to move out soooo hardcore. In my culture is normal for kids to stay with their parents for a long time (unlike here in US). BUT BUT BUT...i guess in a way im getting americanized. I want to have my own place...you know, be able to do what you want (yes i am aware of responsibility and circumstances). WTF...i want to be able to be more independent and bring girls at my place lol!

I turned to internet for the gateway to freedom. I started with cashlagoon and those websites that pay you to complete offers. Then i invested money in a website which did pay back + profit. I bought an adult website...which i lost the login info so that was a waste of money. I made some decent money with aff and associated content. Then i decided to try an ebay dropshipping scheme which got my paypal and ebay account limited. I still need to pay them around $250 to clear eveything away (refunds and listing fees). Looking back...i was stupid, i got too carried away and now im paying for it. Now im just trying to pay that back and then focus on methods/projects/strategies in the long run to get a steady $500/month to pay for rent and groceries. I found some cheap places here......with some girl roomates lol.

I know it's possible and i always get motivated by reading others success stories.

This forum is at the beginning but i think this is the best time to build small connections and get to know each other more personally rather than just by username and forum reputation or whatever.

That's about it:)
