Mo' Money Mo' Problems

*sigh* life is hard when you subconsciously get the mentality of a rich person.
SO I finally got a job right? And I know I have a list of things that I need to pay for: decorating the apt., paying bills, etc. BUT I also enjoy putting together a small list of things that I would like to purchase when I am done paying for that stuff. I already have a camera- nice, just need some lenses, and I want some, well. okay- I want to start the hobby of dj'ing. My friend thinks I'm being stupid with the dj stuff. I just want a hobby. And I know what her argument is, she believes that I should STICK to something. So I'm sitting here thinking about it, and I hate to say it, but I think she's right...I mean, I just bought this camera a few months ago, and I've used it only a handful of times, and edited even less. IDK if I've been lazy or what, but I need to stop being so conflicted and actually put the work into one thing at a time. WOW I know if you're reading this you don't care haha but I think I just made my decision while writing this: I'll stick to just the camera for now, and after taking pictures for a few months, I'll buy a lens, and maybe purchase a better editing software. I just want to be good at something eventually, you know? And have a hobby that's FUN. haha and I'm not saying I'll never buy the turntables and get to work on that hobby, but I am saying that it will be more than a year before I even consider saving up for them. So yes, I'll begin practicing with that camera as soon as I'm off work again.

Always Thinking

I'm a college student, so I'm broke right? Not for long. I've got ideas- thousands of them, and almost all of them revolve around money. And I used to think that because I am so money motivated, that makes me an addict of money or superficial right? But no- that's not it at all. Just because someone desires to be self-sufficient and secure in his or her lifestyle doesn't just make them a money grubbing idiot. I think it just means that that person simply doesn't want to constantly be stressing about the future. Take me, for example: right now, I have recently moved, so I'm paying bills I never had to pay before, I don't have a job, and my funds are running out. Affording rent alone is stressful enough to make me want to pass out. And I HATE feeling like this. So, instead of complaining about it, I got a job- which doesn't start paying until about a month from now, and just in case that isn't enough, I started a marketing/agent career of my own. Now I represent a model and a photographer separately, and while it's somewhat stressful finding them jobs, it's better than worrying about how the heck the bills are gonna be paid. Now I'm not gonna lie: since I'm still looking for their next jobs, and since I don't start my real job quite yet, I'm still stressing about a month from now, but the other day I bought my first piece of furniture and I'm confident I'll have enough money to live here for at least another month and a half. Eventually, my estimated revenue will be $2500-$3000 a month, and for a college student that's not too shady (heck, the average household makes $45,000 a year- and this puts me not too far from that lol). I guess what I'm saying is, just because I am always thinking about how to make money doesn't make me greedy- it just means I wanna support myself and be satisfied with my life. *shrug* just talking though- now back to your day! ;-)
