why is it that i have to work for my money?

i've decided today that i'm going to work really hard to find a way to make money and not have to work for it. i know that makes about as much sense as banana pudding, but i need to figure it out. the lottery isn't cutting it for me - in fact i'd say that i'm losing money on that venture. i've tried various money-making schemes with this site here, but with a lack of interesting information being posted here on any sort of consistent basis, the traffic isn't actually generating any revenue (though i have managed a few free shirts from Threadless).

so the idea that i can do absolutely nothing for my money seems to be failing, which i guess means that i have to either come up with a really good money making scheme, or work really hard for a short period of time so that i'll have a good amount of money saved for when i decide to stop working.

wait, isn't that how retirement strategies work?

except i don't want to wait that long. i considered drawing cartoons about monkeys and robots, but it seems that James Kochalka Superstar already beat me to that idea, and i certainly can't figure out why anyone would want to use the interent for something else other than monkeys and robots.
