I have been deeply thinking about my situation lately and I have to tell, I find myself quite funny with that first 50 000$ things, when you think of it. But at the same time, reaching my first 50 000$ mean so much to me!
But after I reach that first 50 000$, what happen? Will I still working all those hours in order to reach, what can I say, my first 75 000$, and then my first 100 000? Only me can answer those questions and I can already response yes. After my 50 000$, there will be that 75 000$ I will want to reach. If I think of the whole idea in a reasonable way, it’s just making no sense, knowing the number of hours per week I work. But I prefer to keep my stay of mind as wild as possible and forgive about the reasonable part.
Even if my career situation is not super great, I actually have not a steady day job, so in order to make sure I have enough for my living expenses. Because hey, I don’t won’t to take money from that 30 000$ and something I already have for my living. So for now, I usually work between 47-67 hours weekly for a salary (if I combined the 2 jobs) of 12$ per hour. I have been going on like this since last June and I am quite impressed of my result. But this means that if I want to have a good amount of savings per month, I have to keep going on like that. I have got a big crash down when I try to save money by not buying any coffee. That was a mistake from me because I was feeling more than tired, I will say exhaust. But can only coffee alone has that effect on me? I am quite shock. Since I am moving soon, I took some time off from my evening and weekend so I can prepare my moving. I will definitely shop for a coffee maker and a thermo this weekend. I cannot stand the situation any time longer. My only luxury thing is coffee and I cannot live any much longer without morning and evening coffee.
After you reach your first $50,000?
ReplyDeletego shopping, spend some of it, pay
off your student loan, any outstanding balance. Or you could
actually do some of that now.
Sorta like 1 step backwards but 2 step ahead of the game. Spend some of the hard earned money, so it'll take a few extra days, or weeks to reach $50,000. The BIG 50K can wait. :heheh:
"money is a means to an end, not an end in itself"
You are very funny.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I cannot wait for that first 50 000$ to come. I plan to pay my debt and other as soon as I stabilize my situation if I can say. I need a steady say job in other to do that that will pay at least 15$ per hour. I wish to find as soon as possible, or after December 4, my last day of work at my present day job.
Bonne Chance!
ReplyDeleteI think that means good luck in french. Not sure.
