I Haven’t Written Creatively In Months
Here’s what happened.
Imagine having a dream that feels distant, and at the same time, everyone around you seems to have achieved it so quickly.
It’s frustrating.
For me, that dream is living a stable financial life. Yes, I have a job. Yes, I have a roof over my head. Yes, I’m not in any danger. But do I have any savings? Not any I can use before pension time. Do I achieve any of my financial goals? Not for the last decade of my life. And not for lack of trying.
I’m sure any student or post-grad with lots of debt will agree with me that adulting is hard. You don’t have anyone to guide you. The problem with our society is that it’s so easy to fall into financial traps and excruciatingly hard to get out of them.
And so, ten years ago, I started dabbling in things like Affiliate marketing to make a quick buck, and I hated it.
I just wanted to be free.
Do you ever wake up without looking at your bank account first thing in the morning? Do you ever suffer from anxiety, knowing that if you lost your job tomorrow, the world would come crashing down on you? Do you ever feel like the mere act of looking for a new job would burn you out because you have all of those worries to take into consideration?
