With that kind of salary, it's difficult to plan for the future
Can't really afford having kids and such (if you wanted them)
I set up a savings last year that was deducted from my pay
I only accrued $600 in it, but that's $600 that I would've blown on trivial stuff
Like beer
I didn't notice it being gone from my pay
500$ in USA has to be pocket change
I had days when i would be penniless and would get outside to see how the day goes without any money, and those usually turned out to be funny days
well i had this cafe where i would aways get free coffee and shit
and i wuld start from there
people still keep slapping me with miserable offers for my synth
and so on
You played synth in public?
Like on a sidewalk?
Nope
I played a guitar on sidewalk but i suck at guitar
I don't actually know many melodies on keys, but i improvise whole day
It's completely doable to live on $500 a week, but it's hard to chart out long-term plans
And if something unexpected comes up, you might be in a bind
ah ok, 500$ a week is ok
I survived on $12 / hr for a long time
Had a nice apt on some swamps in tampa
Nature preserve
It's doable
Very nice, but i hate combination of humidity and warmth
I'm used to it. It doesn't bug me
are you good at spending little ?
Okinawa was hot and humid too
Yeah, other than being a drunk
lulz
I don't buy things
For books, I volunteer here and there at the library. So I get first dibs at their book sales
cool, land of opportunities
Literally $0.25 for most of my books
i've made recently a dramatic step at applying for a job
actually quite a fancy one at a local telco
Are you British?
No
Where are you at? Canada? Sweden? Brazil? South Africa?
