Still paying them. Went back to school to study accounting. Oh well. I'll never sign anything without signing it now even if it's 100 pages long now.

I have wasted every dollar in 2016=

If I saved better and planned out efficiently I could have had 20+K saved up from 2016

>Lost 10k moving to seattle, living 3 months off of savings trying to search for a job, came back empty handed
>Bought JNUG high and sold low, lost 300
>Tried to jumpstart a facebook page, lost 500 doing ads
>Countless attempts at webapps and cloudbased services, spent who knows how much in servers, databases and .com names.

On the bright side, I'm doing well for myself now. You gotta learn from mistakes, that's where you pivot your odds upwards.

That's how real estate is, friend. You need to pay the brokerage a set amount, the board a set amount, and then pay for your phone and car and everything. After you get paid the brokerage gets a cut of your pay. It's great if you don't mind talking to hundreds of people though, I guess.
