I have a baby to feed and I do graphics for companies, but nobody is willing to pay me anything over 12 an hour. The irony of my situation is that I delivered pizzas before going to college and made near 17 an hour. Now with a college degree and a decade of exp. I cannot make enough money, I have no benifits and my talent and skill level is well above average. I am deliverig pizzas again at night and doing graphics during the day. I wish I knew a site with tutorials of how to make a myspace comment site, I have a pretty original idea. How does one make a site like whateverlife.com ?

I was impressed, and even though I am a 42 year old, happily married, mom, I put in my phone number to see what my "Perfect Lover" match was. I did it because I was interested in her site, inspired by the article, and wanted to see how it was she's making money. I received a lame text message that I've since forgotten. After a while, I received a few other really inane txt messages obviously geared towards teenagers. There were only a few, and I didn't know where they were coming from. I didn't connect it to Whateverlife.com. I now know how Ashley makes her money. I was charged $19.95 to find my perfect love match. I did not know I was going to be charged this exorbitant fee to have mere garbage sent to my phone occasionally. I was robbed. In my opinion, Whateverlife.com is pure thievery. Ashley should be ashamed, and so should her money hungry mother. I loved the story in Fast Company and I too checked out Whateverlife.com.
