I have 300k standing on my paypal

@makaylaglynn As a master procrastinator myself I am very curious about your job. What is it that you do that allows you to accumulate 300K that you don't even need while being such a major procrastinator?

@resjudicata Programming.

@makaylaglynn Since we're derailing this thread, any advice for a python programmer looking to get into freelancing after working a soul sucking corporate job for five years? Is upwork worth it?

 

[makaylaglynn]

@pascha You can start working in Upwork as a one-man team and later scale up by hiring others. It works better if you live in a country that has a low cost of living though.

@makaylaglynn Leaving money in your Paypal is a horrible idea. To be fair, doing business in general though Paypal is something you should only do if you have no other options.

There are enough horror stories of them getting 'glitches', issues or even flagging your account as suspicious just to lock in your cash.

@makaylaglynn As the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted". Leaving any significant amount in PayPal is foolish, but this sum is insanity.
