    Fuck you, gramps. You're nothing but a washed up stoner who projects his feelings of inadequacy onto others - it is your only defense mechanism. You don't know shit about technology, so I suggest you shut up before you further embarrass yourself.

    I know enough to know your a scared chicken shit and will get your ass kicked with your pussy attitude. I may be a stoner, but I made a million 7 years faster than the average and my job is embarrassingly easy.

    A million dollars isn't much money, gramps. Last I checked, it's 2012. My idea has the potential to make much more than a million dollars. That's because I am technically savy, I know what people want (we've done the market research), and I know how to work smart.

    I think it is obvious to everyone that DopeSpin has feelings of inadequacy. It is the reason he insults and belittles others at every opportunity.

    Are you honestly comparing yourself to a 27-year-old? No, I don't own a house; I could buy one, but I'd be a fool to do so. And no, I don't have a million dollars. I have 10k in savings and approximately 15k in various investments. However, I don't think I'm doing too shabby for a 27-year-old. I'm starting a $68k/yr job in a few weeks, and I have a solid plan for a side business that has a good shot at filling a market niche and generating a lot of money.

    But sure, go right ahead and compare yourself to a guy half your age, if it makes you feel better about yourself.

    Thought you were starting a business. 68k is great for your age. Don't give shit out if you don't want it back. I had a house at 24 and 2 kids by 27. Good luck hope your job goes as god as you want it too.
