Re: IM is not for everyone - Here's just how insane I am

Re: I got 7k. Should i take the money and run?

Keep doing what you're doing and obtain at least a part-time job. I wouldn't consider relying on IM as a full-time income stream until you can consistently earn enough monthly/annually to live on.
