I will always maintain that one of the better things I\u2019ve ever incorporated to my brog, would be the On This Day<\/a> plug-in that lets me narcissistically look back at the posts I made on the day in all prior years where I\u2019ve posted.\u00a0 Presumably, fewer things are going to inspire words to write other than myself, and every now and then I\u2019ll see an old post that will inspire me to write pretty immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, a year ago on this day<\/a>, I wrote about how I\u2019d earned a not-insignificant amount of money from noting but doing internet surveys, earning anywhere from 29\u00a2 to $1.58 a survey, sometimes taking a minute, sometimes 20, but covering a vast gamut of topics, whether I had any business opining about them or not.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes I had idea of what the surveys were collating information about, but there were tons of times where I had absolutely no reason to be taking these surveys, but it was supposedly $1.58 for 8 minutes of survey, so sure I\u2019m now an IT manager for a large enterprise company sharping opinions about cloud deployment and SaaS whatever.\u00a0 I treated it like LAIRE<\/a> from Role Models<\/em>, where I was role playing as things that I didn\u2019t really have any substantial knowledge of.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, it\u2019s been a year where I was humblebragging over $401.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been continuing on doing what I was doing then, and since then, the above is what I\u2019ve currently got in the PayPal account designated for this little endeavor: literally one thousand more dollars than I did a year ago, for doing rando internet surveys for pocket change at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n I should also point out that this was originally done to earn money to buy wrestling blets with, and this amount seen above is after I\u2019ve purchased two blets for myself (NXT UK, NWA Television), as well as a pair of WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Championships for my two daughters.\u00a0 In all, I\u2019ve made a fair amount more than what\u2019s in this PayPal account, and I don\u2019t see much reason to stop, as long as I\u2019ve got the ability to earn something, when I\u2019m doing nothing, which isn\u2019t always, but I can make some here and there at least once a day.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, I was spying on eBay one of my unicorn blets that happened to pop up: an original Figures Toy Co. Ring of Honor world championship blet, which is something that I\u2019ve wanted for a little while now, but I didn\u2019t want to spend $600 to meet the buy it now price the seller was asking.\u00a0 I floated a few low-ball offers to test the water, which were predictably auto-declined, but I was hoping to wait until the end of the selling window and maybe float in $500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately for me, there was<\/em> someone who was willing to walk in the door and just pony up $600, and just like that the blet I wanted was gone.\u00a0 Who knows when the next time this specific blet shows up again.<\/span><\/p>\n The thing is though, I was mentally prepared to unload this $500, but thanks to anonymous money bags, I didn\u2019t.\u00a0 But as far as I\u2019m concerned, this $500 is truly disposable, and it\u2019s almost like I want to do something reckless with it.\u00a0 Sure, I could be the bigger person and donate it or give it to someone who could really use it, but I never claimed to be a saint, and I kind of do feel like gambling it in some degree.<\/span><\/p>\n And since I\u2019m not about to go to any casinos any time soon, my mind has been very curious about dabbling my toes into the marketplace, and seeing what investing is like, because I know dick from butt when it comes to it.\u00a0 I just know that I\u2019ve always been fascinated with films like Boiler Room, the Wolf of Wall Street<\/em> and The Big Short<\/em>, and I see a very realistic chance to take a little bit of risk with some truly expendable money.<\/span><\/p>\n I asked around, and didn\u2019t get much excitement or real fun-sounding options, but $500 isn\u2019t necessarily too small to take a chance on.\u00a0 All the same, if I don\u2019t find something intriguing enough soon, the feeling will fade, and I\u2019ll just sit on it until the day my unicorn blet shows up again.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, what started out as blet money has grown into something a little more substantial, and with the potential to take the plunge with something a little more high stakes than internet surveys.\u00a0 All I know is that the time I\u2019ve spent writing all this bullshit, I could\u2019ve been making a $1.80 on what I like to call, over-max surveys, when for a short period, there\u2019s suddenly a number of surveys that exceeds the usual maximum $1.58 threshold, and my eyes get big and excited at the thought of making a whole thirty more fucking cents.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I will always maintain that one of the better things I\u2019ve ever incorporated to my brog, would be the On This Day plug-in that lets me narcissistically look back at the posts I made on the day in all prior years where I\u2019ve posted.\u00a0 Presumably, fewer things are going to inspire words to write other … Continue reading Blet Money, a year later<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[151,79,152,41],"class_list":["post-48118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-blets","tag-cashmoney","tag-gambling","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48118"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48120,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48118\/revisions\/48120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
