Yeah, it's all about learning from your mistakes. Many of us went down the same road as newbies. It's legit that they took away some of your earnings, because that's how they roll and it's clearly stated. It's rough to learn the hard way and lose a good portion of your earnings like that, but then again FC wants members that help them on a regular basis, not just once or twice a year. If you get in the habit of visiting every day, or even every other day, and put in the effort needed, you should have no problem cashing out within 6 months. Many people here cash out every month! And some of us, like me, are every other month. But once you do, you'll find out that FC is totally legit and has always paid!!
