The Lack of Money is the Root of All Evil
14 years ago
General
I swear, money must be allergic to me or something.
I got my tax refund a couple weeks ago. It was a fair amount, a little over $1300. I told myself that this time I would try not to go uber-crazy on the spending. Sadly, this was not to be.
First, my car needed new brakes and rotors. Then my housemate (I live in a house with my fiance and 7 other people) asks to borrow some money to get his car going. Then I got the fiance a new PSP and the new Nintendo 3DS (to be fair, he's currently paying my part of the rent). I'm now left with just under $300 in my account. Now, I'd consider this fine and dandy, but we were told that the utility bills are past due, with at least one cut-off notice already. So it looks like that money will be gone soon.
Between that and my issues with my Paypal account, it'll be a while before I actually commission people. I'd try taking some writing commissions myself, but I honestly don't know where to begin, plus written commissions don't seem to be as popular as art commissions, especially with someone who isn't very established.
In the meantime, I've got air in my lungs, food in the fridge, a roof over my head and gas in the car. I can survive another day.
