    Funny thing is I actually lived that life. I was a heroin addict, I got to the point of needing $200-$300 daily to get me by. Part of my motivation for quitting was the thought that I would have so much money for whatever once I kicked the habit… and once I got off the shit, I no longer had that kind of money. I guess I wasn’t desperate enough to figure out schemes to make that much every day. So this meme is bullshit! I thank the gods I didn’t end up a prostitute at least… but I would probably have more money if I did. Damn it.

      Out of curiosity - what schemes were you cooking up for that kind of money? Given that you said you didnt end up a prostitute the obvious answer is out lol

        I was a functioning addict, and had a job where I was able to tweak the records here and there to make more every day than I should have… by a couple hundred. It was amazing how incompetent the boss man was.

          That’s wild, can’t believe they didn’t notice thousands missing every month…

          Glad you got clean before things caught up
