I’m finally settled in to my new place in Coral Gables, which is a suburb of Miami.
Check it out…
The food, the culture, and just about everything else in Coral Gables ROCKS! For Shilpi and I it’s been a total upgrade from the condo we had in Boston.
As soon as we get back to Boston in 6 months we’re going to start hunting for a condo in Back Bay that will top our place in Coral Gables. Once you upgrade your lifestyle, it really bites to have to take it back down a notch.
None of this would have been possible if I wasn’t a super affiliate. The rent on our Coral Gables place is double the mortgage payment on my place in Boston, which by the way I’m still paying in full.
Even if I was a big shot in the corporate world and had the money to cover a hefty rent plus a mortgage, I wouldn’t have the freedom to move down here.
Affiliate income represent REAL FREEDOM. There’s nothing like it in the world! 
Uh, just would like to point out one thing: I’m twenty years old and don’t even make what you make in one month, yet my house is much nicer. I understand you are living below your means, but make your wife clean up the clutter and hire a home decorator.
Oh, one other thing: it is a nice condo and is in a good location. Just wasn’t what I expected, I suppose.
After reading all this, I just have one thing to say. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some opinions are best kept to yourself. Why does everyone have to be so judgmental? Making money at affiliate marketing is a great deal tougher than most books lead you to think.
I am in Jeremy’s class and will be looking for a mentor soon.
Amit,
Welcome to Florida! I am surprised you didn’t pick out an oceanfront condo! Andrew mentioned ’The Millionaire Next Door’ . This is a great book. I read it about a year ago and it talks about people living below their means. It is important to have money in the bank, especially as an affiliate marketer. You will need the cushion in the bank to make up for the highs and lows of affiliate marketing.

Hi Debby,
We thought about Ocean front, however, because of the high crime in those areas and hurricanes, we choose to go inland.

Great Digs Amit,
Your place looks real nice and quite simply laid out for a super affiliate.
I like Merrick place. My sister used to be at the Bottega store there till the store moved to bal harbor. And guess who walked in to the store one day last month. Abichek and Ash Bachan came in several times to pick out stuff.
I guess italian handbags are cheaper here then the sub-continent. My sister said that Ash was without makeup and simply looked stunning. She also said that Ash was quite down to earth compared to when you see her in interviews where she comes off like she just graduated from finishing school in Switzerland
Hmmm you say you make $90,000 per month in your about me page yet you live in a crummy apartment with a mortgage? Something doesnt quite add up there, I mean any man in there right mind would pay there mortgage off, as someone said above if the business ever goes bust you have a roof over your head and also the total amount you pay back for a mortgage is rediculous, why wouldnt you pay it off??
Hey Amit looks like we are neighbors, I live 5 minutes away from Merick Park.
We should get together sometime and do lunch on me.
