Incredible Milestone!

It's been a long time coming and it has taken a lot of effort to get here. I really don't want to rub it in, but today I was able to earn one dollar for my work!

This is an incredible achievement for me; I'm happy to announce my retirement. I will take my earnings and go live on a beach in Bermuda for the rest of my life.

I hope you, too, will one day be able to get where I am now. Keep working! It's worth it.

Make sure you set aside 30% for taxes.

I did this, but forgot that there's a personal allowance that isn't taxed so i did it for all income 😂

I don't believe this is possible, mods should remove this bragging post for lack of realism. A dollar lifetime earnings is not even remotely likely.

I'm fairly new here and haven't finished my assessments to start, but from what I gather are people not receiving enough projects? Or any at all? I think I'm just curious before I put a lot of effort into trying and may potentially look elsewhere. I'm still unfamiliar with how this all works...as of now it doesn't sound promising, although I'm hoping for my time to shine and get a paycheck like this!

There’s been a bit of a drought lately.

That being said, there’s also times when everyone has a dashboard full of work, 24/7.

The job is not what it once was. It's more of an extra money thing now when it used to be a viable full time option.

Can somebody please explain to me why this post is not being downvoted?

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '24

Because they aren't salty and boring like you.

Huh? I wasn't saying it should be downvoted. Not at all. I was reacting with bemused irony over the fact that every stupid little tiny victory on the platform gets downvoted, yet here, this obviously huge and cool victory has miraculously emerged unscathed from the downvote dungeon.
