@MartialDuartist LOL Doing things illegally might look easier at first - Though High Consequences to your actions. I try NOT to be like the the river and follow the path of least resistance. People who do end up like the river - CROOKED =) In a couple more years we should be more in a position to relax, but we have to put the work in up front =)

8+ Hours, so its the same thing then, as a day job :\
Eh ... I wanna chill and get paid; or only work part-time for full-time pay.
Sellin' drugs sounds way better.

@MartialDuartist When I first started I worked more hours and it was really hard, it is still hard and there are pro and cons like any other job. I love it and I love being home with my kids so it works for me.

@MartialDuartist I love in Florida. What we do is Scrap, Picking (Which is Yard Sales, Trash, Junk Yard) Pretty much get what we can for cheap "Trash is Free" =) and turn around and sell it. I was laid of in 2008, but was lucky enough to have unemployment for the first year to really start to get myself established. Really took a lot of learning and in fact at that time I had two kids and a mortgage... LOL now it is three kids. Work from 7am to 4pm (M-F) and Kenny when he wants.

You make $300-$800 a week??
How many hours a day do you work though, is it the same as a regular job (8-12hrs)?
If thats the case then ... It's the same thing really.
On the other hand, if you can quit your job, and chill out doing this, then thats way better.
If what youre saying is true, then A. there should be a reality show about this, and B.
I wanna learn to do it too, and be my own boss.
Where do you live?
I live in Philly.

@MartialDuartist Oh yeah that pick we profited $400 in one day and the other $200 within a week, just added more profit to our bottom line =)

@MartialDuartist We have been unemployed since 2008 and live off of Trash, Picking, Scrapping and Youtube! We are opportunists and trash is a big part of our lives. Maybe it is where we live or who we are but we make anywhere from $300 to $800 a week. As we become more efficient with what we do that number just keeps on climbing. I know the world if full of crap and lies, but we are trying to keep it real. Welcome to our world and the economy we are in! This is called surviving!

Yeah $500 "in how long?"
You can't make a living doing it.
It's not like you're making $500 week :\
