When I used to read the financial publications I remember reading an interview with some big time stock trader who would say he was "self-unemployed."

I'm probably much older than most of you posting. I spend a bit of time pondering this because I'd like to go ahead and quit my day job and just be "retired," although I'm a bit young for that. I thought I'd might just tell people that on a lark I made some lucky stock investments (like Google's run up), cashed out, bought an anunity and am living modestly off that. As far as what I do with all of my free time I thought I might just say "I'm writing a novel." That should get them to shut up or else be easy to spin a yarn about.

I have money because of Adsense yet I can't live the lifestyle I can afford because my money comes from Adsense.
