You really went all out there didn’t you.

I guess it’s my turn to make a formal response!

Alright then wait ’til I get off from work =)

Maybe Joey can think about putting those CFL’s in rather than watching the Biggest Loser this week. Lazy slob. It will save him climbing the ladder at least four times in the life of each bulb and cost him less in energy costs. Much easier to quantify and will give him more time to procrastinate on his ‘home business’.

In other words it’s just an excuse not to do something.
If we start doing the things that we know will produce results then we can always do the things with potential later.

It is more likely that Joey will simply do whatever action makes him feel better about himself at the time.

Your hours at work are worth $20 each, but your hours at home are worth $0 a piece. So saving some money while otherwise you’d be making nothing, you come out ahead.

Very few people have enough business that they can make money whenever they feel like putting in work. Most of us work hourly or salary wise where extra work on the side isn’t possible or doesn’t help.
