    Thanks! There are a lot more improvements in the works but, as stated in my post above, I'm a little short on the time I need to implement them. Hopefully I'll find the time soon.

    I'm pretty much the same place as Westech, except I'm not quite making enough yet each month to leave work.

    Intend to grow though, and eventually be able to 'give up the day job'. I like the idea of waiting till web earnings are over employee earnings for a year. I might borrow that goal/idea if you dont mind

    Oh, I understand sarcasm. I also realise you're just trolling. Have fun!

    I think its worth pointing out that being employeed by someone else isn't exactly more secure than being self-employeed. If all your income comes from one source you are in a risky position whether it is your employer or Adsense.

    yea good point, atleast when ur working for your self you can make all the important decision, if your working and ur manager screws up then you might end up paying with ur job, so in a way working for some one else may be alot more risky then yourself

    That's true; however I'm in a somewhat less risky position than others as I'm employed by a public University.

    The same is probably true for people with government jobs; don't think I could ever enjoy myself at either, I'll take the risk

    it matters what your government job is. If it were as a federal judge, I would take that job in a heartbeat.

    As soon as I can afford to give up the day job (and have a backup pool of money for security), I'm ditching it as fast as I can. Being a wage slave is no fun.

    Westech does your wife work? Mabye you could teach her how to run a few of your websites to give you some more free time.

    Yes, she works full time and goes to school part time just like me, so she doens't have much free time either. She's not really all that technically oriented when it comes to websites, but she's almost finished with her MBA and she's very organized and pretty good with Excel. I think I almost have her convinced to help me out by keeping the books.
