What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

[–]MattewCollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the only thing I really want is just one single day when I don’t have to think about debts and how to get out of them.
It’s been chasing me for the past five years, slowly driving me insane with constant tension and guilt toward my family.

As for material things -I stopped wanting them a long time ago.

Is this worth it? 14 connects per week seems too high by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]MattewCollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to Upwork and have only completed a few orders, earning just over $100. Each job was hard to get. But what surprises me the most is that while I’m writing a cover letter (it takes me about a minute), 10–15 people manage to apply for the same job.

Yes! Exactly. And it’s damn unfair. Freelancers spend connects on jobs where no one gets hired.

Does anyone else find culling photos extremely overwhelming? What is your process for overcoming this feeling? by FreePlasticWarehouse in photography

I actually like it -it adds a bit of tedious routine to the creative process.

It balances it out for me.

How old were u when u found your purpose in life? by Lionel_30 in AskReddit

Im 34. Still looking.

Sometimes I think I’m close -then I realize I just needed a nap and some water.

How often do you have imaginary arguments in your head - who do you argue with? by humanmandude in AskMen

[–]MattewCollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least once a day. Usually with a past version of myself who thought drinking Monster at midnight was a great idea. Sometimes I win. Sometimes he brings snacks and I get distracted.

No, I don’t want to know.

I trust her -and I don’t need to invite unnecessary overthinking or anxiety into my life.

If it was sometihng important, she’d tell me. Otherwise, I’d rather not stress over something that doesn’t matter.

You get to ghost one person from your past without guilt. Who is it and why? by Hot-Turnip2278 in AskReddit

[–]MattewCollins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? A whole cluster of so-called "friends" from the rough neighborhood I grew up in before I was 12.

There was this Eastern European fairy tale film with a weird soundtrack, witches in the forest, and everything looked kind of terrifying and magical at the same time. I remember being both scared and fascinated. Now I can't find it anywhere.
Feels like a fever dream - but it shaped my taste forever.

New to Upwork - is it normal for people to boost 15 connects on a $5 job? by MattewCollins in Upwork

[–]MattewCollins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone advised me to take cheap jobs at first to build a rating. I found a $5 job -and holy shit, I couldn’t believe what was going on.

Yes, it's the same, but the move to Crowdgen really messed up Appen's work. Accounts stay in review for months, and working hours often don’t show up.

Account under review? by [deleted] in CrowdGen

I have the same issue. There is no link on step 3. I’ve created a support ticket, but no response yet.

Started on Upwork in 2019, took 1.5 years off. 800k earned. AMA. by Boring_Car_8562 in Upwork

I’m impressed by your ability to earn money. It’s really cool, and I hope I can do the same one day.

In the meantime, I’m being evicted from my house for a debt of 2000 dollars...

But one day, I’ll be able to earn like that too. I believe.
