A combination of selling Flash games and not having any expenses.



i upload a bunch of pictures and i get wealthy



Basically when a game I want come out , I buy 4 copies trough e-Bay and I sell 3 of them here in my country. This way games are almost free most of the times, tough not allways is that easy to get along with it.

I also work, but I try not to spend in games as long as my system works for me

I'm a cop, so I get a lot of stuff for free! Free food, free drinks, and best of all, FREE GAS! While the rest of the world is suffering, I have more money than I ever had before. Also, I work 2 jobs. One pays every two weeks (my bill paying job) which requires me to work 15 days out of the month, 12 hours a day. My second job let's me work when I want to, for as long as I want too (10 hour work day? No problem. 2 hour work day? That's cool too!). And, I get paid to go to court, go to sporting events, escort inmates to funerals, etc. I used to get paid $100 every Saturday night to sit outsid of a club with my patrol car lights on for 15 minutes while the club shut down!! I'd put my uniform on a 2:45, and be back home by 3:30 with $100 bucks in my pocket!! It was awesome, until we shut down the club for selling alcohol to minors!

I recommend law enforcement to anyone who qualifies. Sadly, now that I can buy any game I want, I NEVER have time to play/do anything I enjoy.
