[Ipg-smz] Anyone ever want to quit?

[Dana Blankenhorn]

During 2002 my gross income was zero dollars.
During 2003 my gross income was zero dollars.
During 2004 my gross income was maybe $3,000.

I persisted. There's no Plan B. Never has been.

I can't speak for others. I'm fortunate that my dear wife has been employed
practically since I started freelancing, although until 2000 hers was our
"mad money," the cash we put into things we liked rather than lived on.

Since 2002 this has reversed.
