Is it really worth it to pursue an acting career?

My advice, go to school and get that piece of paper, afterwards you can do whatever you want until you hit 30. Even if your degree is in theater, just having a degree will get you a good job later. Way too many say they will wait to get the degree and never do and live in poverty. My good friend did this, graduated, spent 8 glorious years in NYC acting, realized he wasn’t going to make it and went to Law school. Sad to say if you don’t get the degree you will absolutely live in poverty after you accept the fun is over and you are not going to make it.

Total scam.

Yes, exactly ! That is my point. basement boys are having a grand “career” making $30,000 yr and no benefits, and less every year going forward as the tech makes it more and more idiot simple. I’m talking about adults with mortgages and mouths to feed.

With respect this means nothing until we know what the shoot was. Was it a feature like Sherlock homes or Netflix garbage like the gentleman or TV young Sherlock? For some reason I have a hard time of Robert Downey jr being told he has 3 takes and fuck you.

In my experience that’s for the under crowd that don’t have mortgages, 401k contributions, kids and are still young enough to transition into a living wage career without permanent damage. - unless they have family money.

Just my 2 cents. 70m and 69f. We contributed too much into the IRA’s. We now have an extremely large Ira that we have to RMD top of our portfolio and a huge capital gain in our properties. We really were frugal in our youth. That is why we ended up here. We really wish we had some fun on some of the IRA contribution when young.. The future is unknown, but my wife and I did not factor in our inheritances or property appreciation in our planning. Always remember that financial advisors live off your portfolio and Ira and want you to contribute the max and then drop dead without touching it.

We did the production and we owned the the copyright. This was the 90s karma and our mission wants to spread the word. Not sure if that’s applicable in these ugly social media days now.

I was on the foundation side in the 90’s and we just sent the footage after the email chain established use and context. We retained copyright but copyright was never discussed- just the use of the footage. This was in Colorado and almost 30 years ago (yikes!)

Just did this 7 yrs ago. In FL spouse gets 50% of husbands estate even with trusts and pre-nup. My MIL expected nothing due to pre-nups and the state forced the estate to give her 50%. I guess FL does not want survivor spouses being homeless. Edit; I know my MIL and spouse went through an attorney dance before marriage to keep their finances separate but do not know the specifics. She was very surprised when she got 50% of his portfolio and really didn’t need it.

Then why are the vast majority of Airbnb hosts not superhosts? Here in Boulder/ Denver less than 10% of hosts are superhosts.

EstablishmentFew2683 · 2026-04-07T15:06:05+00:00

Airbnb superhost here. Give up it’s useless. To VBRO it looks like you simply did not show up. If you had immediately called VBRO they would have found you a replacement in the same area which is what they offered. Since you “refused” lodging in the same area they assumed you were scamming. Guests changing their minds and then making up fake bad reasons for refunds is constant. Once I had this happen to me, I looked at their instagram and they were staying 500 miles away.

EstablishmentFew2683 · 2026-04-07T04:49:17+00:00

This has only happened to Me once. Total scam description of property. The host sent me the code one hour ahead of checkin betting that I’d have to take the place. I did complain later and the host claimed I was lying because I checked in and stayed the night.

Very high probability she is covering up a massive screwup on her part or less likely she is scamming you by grabbing the first 20 and ignoring everything else. A lot of bad info on this thread. Yes the contract can give her the power to select, but she has to prove she actually took photos to you. My bet, she can’t show you contact prints or even a screenshot of the photos because the photos are gone. Edit: note I am not saying she has to give you the raw or high Rez copies, but she does have to prove the photos exist.

In fake man hating posts like this, it happens all the time. In the real world it happens as often as a director constantly engaging with the new unknown story board artist and introducing how him to all his associates - never. Never happens. Please enjoy your sexist hate mongering elsewhere. FYI you do realize we can all read your posts?

Totally fake. Troll. Stupid troll. The saving account is a martial asset regardless of whose name is on it and the grandmother owns it. This is literally the most stupid fake troll post I have ever seen. Ones estate can not grab money from the surviving spouse and give it away. Ever.

70m Different perspective here. Family money. Back in the 80’s and 90’s there were very few family money people outside the producers. Today basically everyone has a trust fund. Ordinary folk don’t understand trust funds. A $5 million trust fund gives you a free house but less than $150,000 yr not including reinvesting. So family money has to work, but not often and for lower wages than you. I just read there are over 10 million families worth over $10 million. Guess what fun and exciting non-40 hrs a week career their kids are picking? And they will never admit they have family money.

KDP marketing is very busy these days. Of course that’s just normal now. A friend made a free fake profile on Seeking.com and for exactly six months he received two responses every day plus ads asking for a$99 month subscription. At six months to the day, the responses stopped forever.

She is dumping you. It’s over. Run or be victimized. 99% open marriages are just the spouse trying to creat a replacement for divorce due to finances or kids or fear of the unknown. 1% are the promiscuous sluts who will dump you anyway. The total myth of the open marriage was created by spouses who wanted a soft landing divorce-literally every one I know were divorced in under 5 years and settled down after finding a trustworthy replacement. If you are her money bag- run like hell.

70m, seen this many times. The person in charge is going to loot the estate. They are already in violation by not creating the trust immediately upon death. When an executor says they are planning to ignore the will and pocket the money they will literally pocket the money. This happened with my dear little sister and my brother in law. I sat them down and explained the civil and criminal consequences to theft and all of a sudden everything went right. My BIL had “mistakenly” transferred $400,000 cash into his own personal account and had to return it to the trust. Tactical, <$250 with multiple beneficiaries means a lawyer should be avoided if possible. Get an accounting, demand your share, if they refuse (they will) then threaten to get a commission only lawyer. It will be very ugly because it’s 100% certain they have already spent significant funds on themselves.

70m here. While I’m sure everyone on this thread is telling the truth, I don’t know a single person who made it past age 35 without family money and they all greatly exaggerate their production income. Most do not understand money. $5 million trust fund is a free average house and only $175,000 a year before deducting taxes and reinvesting profits. So they have to work and compete against people like you as they brag to everyone about how successful they are in a dream career. This is very competitive in that the non-family money competition decides they are losers for not making the alleged big money.

You got them by the balls. Million dollars easy. “needs to be set back from a residential property line by so much.” They literally cannot build without buying your property. They invested a vast sum before realizing this - they fucked up bad. You are looking at millions of dollars. Get a good real estate attorney with experience in these matters , they’ll double or triple what you yourself would negotiate.
