Hi guys,
Was wondering if your income was solely from hyip's... what would you say to someone who asked what you did for a living? I mean if you tell them then the conversation seems to go down the tubes, people don't understand and it is a chore to be understood. Know what I mean?
Ok, tell me then,... what would you say?
thanks!
:biggrin:
I'm independently wealthy...A distant Aunt died and left me the trust fund...I had a huge insurance settlement for the mold growing in my house...There's lots of things to say. LOLQuote:

HA!
what would you say?
Try the truth..."I invest in a few High Yield, High Risk programs and they've been doing well for me."
Hmmm, U R curious arent ya?... Now how would I put it???
The buds on my cherry trees are soon blossoming and the birds will wait to swoop the upper levels while the mols are just waiting....hmmm, waiting & nudging a foot under....but while I'm away in May till mid June, will you hop on my mower and mow the two large lawns behind and the smaller one in front? :bringiton :biggrin:
It feels good so far and come what may...life is as good as it can be... just make the most with a subtle serenity in every season that shows up! :thumbsup:
YB.:beer:
then what do you say when they ask you to tell them more about it?Quote:

I wish! Well, that is a good thing to say, in marketing... But I think they will say what area of marketing are you in? Then I would have to say... why do you ask? And go from there! People are always conversing about their line of work, it's just general conversation.

or even worse, they would say... Oh can I do it? Then you have to explain all that and it can become very tedious. Know what I mean? Anyhow, I'm just trying to figure it out for now... !
Tell them you're an Investment Strategist.
It sounds better than "I play HYIP gold games."
What is mine... IS MINE :party: aaaand, what is yours, Mr IRS, is partly MINE TOO....!!!:rofl:Quote:

I still want to know what to say next.! HA!
Tell them that a Investment Strategist takes advantage of the system to get returns better than average say bank. That its all in the system! Invest.

Say what you want to say and do not explain. When they ask, just tell them, "It's nothing personal but I like to be discreet about matters of my personal finances. I never know how things will turn out and I would feel responsible if someone I know ended up losing money in a venture they learned about from me."Quote:

Funny,
It really comes down to one word in my opinion, "entrepreneur". Although I have been a financial consultant for years, I will rarely box myself into one category as I have several businesses, as well doing daytrading, FOREX, Arbitrage-Sports, as example. Also as a distributor for several companies, everyone in is a prospect, so I use broad term until I know why they are asking. (g)
I don't do HYIP's, regardless if they perform or not, and even if they did, in my circles of traditional business minded clients, HYIP's are well known to be all Ponzi scams, so the fastest way to destroy a business would be to mention HYIP's. (g) I admire Ponzi personally, as he did not set out to defraud investors, it just overwhelmed him in my research. LOL
Good luck to all, Mike
Hey Mike,... thanks!
Here's another one...
I like to think of myself as an entraprenuer of sorts living on an exotic island!
lol..... Then I imagine they would say and wink, "mee too"~"
lol..............~*
