You are not<\/em> hallucinating. You read that right. There’s a reason why making $100K a year<\/strong> is worse than being unemployed.<\/p>\n

2 Q’s<\/b><\/p>\n

I have 2 questions for you.<\/p>\n

Question #1:\u00a0Are you presently making at least<\/em> $100,000 a year?<\/p>\n

If you’re currently employed-and<\/em> you’re making $100,000-$200,000 annually, congratulations! You are a freaking rock star<\/strong>. I mean it. That’s good money<\/a>. You do<\/em> know that, right?<\/p>\n

\"Matthew<\/a><\/p>\n

“When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits,<\/b> I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

– Matthew McConaughey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question #2: Are you currently unemployed?<\/p>\n

If you’ve been downsized<\/a>, or if you were fired (like me<\/em>), I feel bad for you.<\/p>\n

For one thing, it’s extremely easy to get down in the dumps-to say nothing of the strain that being unemployed puts on your family. And as an added bonus, there’s the “Embarrassment Factor,<\/em>” if you’ve been out of work for 6 months or more.<\/p>\n

Like when you have to personally call the bank holding your mortgage (because of the threatening\u00a0letters they’ve been sending you<\/em>) to explain your “situation<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

\"why<\/a><\/p>\n

Wait Joel<\/h2>\n

“Hold on Joel. I’m confused. You just wrote that making $100,000 is worse than being unemployed. If that’s the case, why did you just show a millionaire like Matthew McConaughey-and his quote? He certainly doesn’t look worse off than someone who’s out of a job<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“You’re 100% right. He’s not. But, as you’ll soon see, this post has nothing to do with Matthew McConaughey. But I sure piqued your interest, right?”<\/p>\n

This Is Important<\/h3>\n

Conventional wisdom says that it’s much better to look for a franchise to buy when you’re working. (As opposed to when you’re unemployed<\/em>)<\/p>\n
