With drastic times, comes drastic measures.

After almost two weeks of watching videos, researching and researching for a niche, and finishing my first month of vacations, here I am, a premium member. I am hoping for the best here, and I know a lot of hard work is ahead, but my circumstances are against me.

Living in a tropical paradise always has it's perks, but when you see news clips which suggest that receiving public assistance is more beneficial than working, you know that something isn't going very well. At a time where, what I have known as home, Puerto Rico, are at the verge of default, pending the governor's message of possible layoffs in the public sector, and taxes being raised to 11.5% on Wednesday, is the time I enter as a premium member in WA. In addition to this, knowing that I have lost money in other places, promising easy wealth is also a very hard stumble, realizing that I've been deepening myself in debt, trying to find a solution to my (and my family's) economical situation.

Like the title states, I'm in a turning point where I am giving my last grains of trust on a company which I have constantly researched for the last two weeks. My hopes are that I can create that minimum of $1000 a month extra income, or even $500, anything that can level my debt to the point that I don't end up like my homeland; inevitably in default. I know all of you, as a community are here for me. Here's for success; cheers!
