this was actually a temp job that found me

Im fortunate that Im so cheap that I could live 18 months on my Emergency Fund rn

I’m a photographer

Thinking about getting a real job tho

i still own my RV so that is the escape plan

because the rent here is 1300 plus utilities

gig economy is a real shit

Bad?

yuck, Im fortunate that I live downtown for less than a grand

yes

I’m doing okay

I book a year out

thats good

at least you got work

in kansas i was living on less than 500 a month for the condo

but kansas sucks dick

I prolly could live like that in wisco if I bit the bullet and bought a condo, but I dont want to be tied down here

i did the math and i'll be clearing almost 4000 a month after taxes and shit

so i'll be saving every penny assuming i'll get fucked eventually

at least if i work for a few months i'll be able to apply for unemployment in texas

more than me\

last time i was on unemployment i got 435 a week iirc

Leeroy Jenkems 2020

The winning move is to live on as little as possible whilst stack

living in the RV wouldn't work in kansas since it got cold and i'm not sure my "arctic package" would save the plumbing system

but here it would work fine

and most RV parks are 300 bucks a month

i hate to perpetuate the "poor are only poor because they suck at money" its buts mostly true usually

and come with shit like cable and internet

nice

only downside is you've living in a 22 foot long trailer with no slideouts

Public school system does shit tier job at explaining money

so i'd have to dump all my shit in climate controlled storage

The way so many kids blame all problems on "capitalism" and think there are hard lines between business owners and labor force

I think it just comes down to human's greatest weakness. Impulse control

how many times have you heard a story about "drunk buying on amazon"

Instant gratification is the enemy of personal growth

Ive done a lot of bad stuff drunk in my life, drove, sworn at people, punched people in the face, but never have I spent money on a whim

I stacked for 6 months, taking bus to and from a shit job for long hours on my feet, to get a car on the road
