My new website is just 1 month old, and I enjoy every minute I spend on it 
After these years it is still a learning process in every minute (thanks to the ever changing internet I will never get bored).
And yes, I am too “entrepreneur”-ish and free-minded to listen to an a**hole and dumb boss to tell me what to do and then wonder why their silly ideas won’t success.
Being an affiliate is not for everyone though, if you prefer living on a stable income then you might have hard time when your revenue goes up and down, you need to make tasks you don’t really like (accounting, paying social security yourself, taxes, etc) but at the end of the day one couldn’t pay me enough to go to work 9-5.
