re: Lifetime Total $ Spent on Amazon
Posted by BK Lounge on 5/13/24 at 12:49 pm
Havent checked to see my amount , but there was a thread here a while back about what was the first thing you ever ordered on Amazon and that was kinda cool to read.. i think some people’s first Amazon order was around 1999, iirc, obviously for books since I think that’s all they sold at that time ....

[quote]I don't think I will have time to miss work, but understand your concern[/quote]

[quote]I think you took me wrong. Or maybe I should have worded it better. Trust me, I don’t hate my job but I’m quitting the microsecond I don’t need to work anymore.

The key is having the freedom to work because you *want* to work, not because you *have* to work.. Having that freedom means everything ; if the BS gets to be too much, you just walk away .. i can handle just about anything if i dont *have* to do it ....
