"Buy now, pay later." option for groceries? VERY DESPERAT...
2 years ago
Should I take out a loan in order to get grocery money? That or use 'buy now/pay later' options (Klarna, Affirm, Zilch, etc).
I wanted to work on and release an artpack involving Nick Wilde getting fat. Even including some brap in it. Maybe charge $10 for a flat-colored 10-page and two illustration packs.
However, someone told me that if I just worked on and published it, those who I owe commissions will either be pissed or worse. However, I can not work on commissions in the current state I'm in. I can not work while I'm risking being malnutrition. My hashimoto's and dairy/gluten/soy sensitivity make it to where I'm struggling more with groceries. I feel like a burden to my family. HOWEVER, I'm not even sure how much I would even make with the artpacks. Would I make enough to cover for groceries for at least three weeks?
I'm trying to set up a professional ArtStation and LinkedIn account so I can hopefully make more money as a freelancer and/or a contractor. That doesn't mean I'm immediately stopping all production here. I don't know how long it'll take until I get a gig. I don't know if I'll even make a good sum. I read that some beggingers would charge $46/hr or $65/hr. But I have no clue if I'm even good enough to charge that much. I'd LOVE to but I feel like if I make myself too expensive, no job would contact me.
I still want to finish the comissions I owe. I still want to even finish up the two YCHs I've yet to finish, long ago. If I did yet another YCH, I'm afraid I'll piss even more people off. There's alot on my plate and I feel like I'm stuck.
I feel like I can't work on commissions confidently without a back-up of finances for the special groceries I need in order to thrive.

You’ll be able to survive.🙂
Raising money is also a great idea to be honest.🙂
I'd have to ask my sister to take me to Costoco or a gluten/dairy-free friendly grocery store to shop with the money since I'm afraid my parents would just use up all the money.
Also a friend is helping me with getting assistance with food via a BRIDGE card.
