Well a little update:
I'm starting to mainly focus on music. I'm about to start interning at a music studio I've been going to, and I DJ'd two dances for a decent amount of cash. Still have two internships that let me use my web design skills, but I don't put in much work, just what's needed.
I'm glad I have a huge head start on most people, already thinking about this, trying to escape to "need for money" and "living check to check." I'm also glad I focused a little more to specialize in certain things. I read something about Renaissance style people and that book. That's definitely me. LOL.
But I still think I need to get ready for living on my own which means I need to start thinking about money in larger amounts. Mentally, I'm at the point where I think $1000 is a good amount of money, and I don't think it's too far away, but it requires some work. That's ahead of most people my age, but I recognize that's nothing for an adult. My goal is to get $10,000 before the end of this coming summer. That'll help me start thinking in larger amounts. I wanna make real money.
I'm definitely gonna stick to school and go to college, since I have the opportunity, but I still would like advice on this subject. I don't wanna have to live check to check or sacrifice what I want to do for what I need to do to pay bills, but I don't feel like giving some things up either. (like living in a big city)  |
