Feeling very focused
Monkey graffiti outside my apartment
Recently money hasn’t exactly been on my side. I haven’t had any luck in getting a co-signer for my student loan, and 10 months of schooling costs $4,047, and the housing for this period costs $10,050. Add on food and keeping myself sane (read: entertainment) with an extra $400 a month and that brings my yearly expenses to $18,097, or about $1,800 a month. And of course, as life seems to happen when you don’t want it to, I’m sure a few more dollars should be tacked on for randomness.
So my goal should be to generate $2,000 in revenue a month, right? Sure, but I think I can do better while not sacrificing and am striving for $5,000/mo. Of course it sounds greedy, but I would rather avoid being in any debt what-so-ever and be able to start saving, because once this constant in my life known as university is over, who knows where I’ll be or what I’ll need to do.
How will I achieve this? I have my startups of course, which will conveniently be releasing during late September and mid-October; Datewi.se, Jobzor, and Football Bio. I also have my commission-based work for AntiClothes and QwikMenu, my dad’s website due to be released at the end of this month—congrats on the release pops!, as well as whatever freelance or contract designing I can find.
I think I have more than enough tools available to me to secure this level of financial freedom, so let’s see what I can do with them!
What do you think? Am I taking on too much? Is my goal too high or low?
