My son is telling me to quit!

My son, a newly minted college grad, asked me about WA, and I took him through my profile, and showed him all about the training, support, community, classrooms, Jaxxy, etc. I explained all I could about affiliate marketing and how it has taken me 15 months to get to this place with my website.
He then asked me what I pay to belong here and I told him, and knowing my financial situation, he freaked out, and asked me how I could pay out almost $600 a year, without even making back the monthly fees. I had no answer except to say that I am building out the site and hope to -- at the very least -- try to earn back my monthly outlay.
I explained all about how people here are making tons of money, collectively, and he just wasn't buying it. Not that I have to answer to a 22 y/o, but in his young age he is very practical and saves every dime he earns, unlike his mother...!
Point being, of course, is he right? How do you explain to your young adult kids what this is all about without getting a huge eyeroll in return?
