This thread will be about my journey to the million dollar comic and the struggles, failures and successes that come with it since many boardies requested it I will not longer post my transactions but try what revat said :). I also have a bunch of inspirational people two of them being Walt Disney and Steve Jobs because I want to be the next rags to riches story not to the degree of Steve Jobs or Walt Disney but I want to make a million dollars buying and selling a comic and making enough money with this venture to never again say I can't afford something :)

 

Thoughts and plans

Yes, those are some of my past mistakes and as for the debt I paid off three of them so far.

Well, that’s actually good progress.  So, kudos to you there.  

I think if you’d fill us in on those accomplishments, some of the reaction here might be a little more positive.

When? A date. For example, "I am meeting my online sex-club wife to prove she is not a guy and to met her sister Sam to review their superpowers on Thursday October, 17, 2019.

Specificity. Without it, you're just talking. A talking ding-dong. 

I don't know man. I can't see into the future. I'm saying whenever I get my passport and ID updated I'll see them.

Again -- HOW. DO. YOU. KNOW?  Up to this point you've taken "Sam's" and God's word for everything to do with this situation.

You're being preyed on.  Why doesn't matter at this point in time since you're still in your own home and haven't physically embarked on any journey into the unknown (yet).  Start digging into the actual facts and protect yourself.

Well believe it or not. I do analyze people. They're not the type to do this. I've been wrong before but too much has happened for me to say otherwise. Besides, why does it matter what happens anyway? From the boardies perspective it would just be one less crazy person in the world which will puff up most of their already dangerously overblown ego's

Anyone else find it interesting that she’s got one of those asexual names  (like Chris, or Ryan, or Stacy)?

Well I consider my relationship with Sam a big accomplishment. I've worked very hard on this relationship.

Her full name is Samantha. I call her Sam because it's easier than typing out her full name each time.

Analyzing people you've never met or seen, I'm sure that'll be accurate.  You haven't done anything but take someone's word for who they are, which can be incredibly dangerous.

And no one here wants to see you get hurt, emotionally or physically.  Why do you think folks keep imploring you to collect some actual facts, and verify who you're really talking to via a simple webchat?  

Stop being afraid that your fantasy world isn't real, because it isn't.  The sooner you get to the bottom of everything and return to reality, the better for you.

Like I said yesterday, some people here are very two faced, wishing me luck and all the best but as soon as I turn my back they insult everything they previously stood up for. One example is Samantha. I've had many people say they hope it's real yet in pm's tell me I don't deserve an amazing girl like that if it turns out she is real. Why do I get a girl like that even though my life is so terrible. 

 

You think I enjoy such people? I rather have them come out and say it instead of acting buddy buddy. Not everyone wants me to succeed or wish me the best in life here. Facts.

Who said you didn’t deserve a girl like that?  Post the PM’s.

I'll take this as true on its face.  So then the follow-up is simple -- All others aside, YOU should not want to see yourself get hurt and do everything possible to protect against that.

Are you actually agreeing to what I've said or humoring me?

As I said before, I’ve been following this since the beginning.  I don’t recall anyone saying they wanted you to fail.

There’s a big difference in thinking you are going to fail and wanting you to.

I mean I would have killed for this level of support when I was in my 20s. Dozens if not hundreds of very knowledgeable people WANTING to see him succeed, giving him practical, helpful advice.

Gabe Im rooting for you.  I hope it works out and I think you should go meet Sam & sis.  Dude life is scary.  Sometimes you gotta take risks.  Sometimes they don't work out.  And sometimes you get the girl out of your league (and maybe her sister too)

There’s been quite a bit of good advice given out over the years.  Heck, a couple of guys even worked deals to “kickstart” the comic selling venture.

As I said that's not everyone. But it's nice to have.

Thanks. Well seeing them will be a big risk for sure. But at long last I will finally know.

Really? I don't remember those deals to be honest.

I'm not agreeing, I'm just saying I'll take your word that you've received some hate from other board members.  And my counterpoint is screw them, you need to look out for you.  Ultimately, the only person any of us can rely on is ourselves.  You're not acting in your own best interest right now, and you need to start immediately.

Well  at least that's an improvement. I do get hate and jealous reactions from the other boardies.  As for looking out for myself. I've been doing better. I'm own my own now and by the request of my wife eating and drinking more so my health doesn't get worse.
