just ignore them.
you're making 2.5x what the average wage slave is making in a year.
you would be lucky if you found a place hiring for minimum wage nowadays.

I actually saw a thread exactly like that on a finance forum.

Also I do have real work experience, worked in a car dealership doing warehousing for a year, it was $1500 a month, not that great.

Nope. You know those mmorpg account sellers, gold sellers, etc? Shit's amazing.
>>2590517
The internet truly flipped everything upside down.
>>2590520
No monetary cost, just a lot of time and education (took some college courses for programming but eventually dropped out), the key is to find a niche, find a way to fill that niche, and if there are any other competitors that are clearly overcharging their customers, undercut to a reasonable price.

As other have said here, it's all your grandparents know. Furthermore, they are emotionally vested in the 9-5 shtick since it's the route they took. They likely can't bear the thought that there are other, more lucrative and less soul-killing, routes in the modern age.

If you're desperate and aren't very experienced, just be a reseller. Buy cheap gold/items/shit/anything from a wholesale guy (you NEED connections), then open a shop and sell at a markup.

>>2591300
Being able to program (and almost more importantly, being able to get off your ass and get work done) is what separates the shit shops from THE #1 shops.

Furthermore, I know the OP's pain. I used to run a series of websites, in my late teens, in the early 2000's and I would pull just over $1,000 every two weeks from selling ad space and plugging books/websites/videos and the like. I was really proud of this, so I didn't hesitate to tell people "what I did for a living" when they asked. Most people didn't really understand it, least of all my grandparents, who didn't even know what a website was back then. They just thought I was playing online and wasting my time when I should have been looking for a job.

I sort of know that feel. I earn more money than my mother ever did and I do it without ever leaving my house, but all she can say is "but I don't understand what you do" and "it's not a real job unless you leave the house".
