New Job
Well, I ended up getting that job with Spintek Marketing. It sounds like it’ll be a good fit for me. The thing that I like about it is that I’ll be able to work around 20 hours a week, and make $500-$1000 a week. That’s not too bad. Their top producers are making more than $1,000 a week, and that’s from being on the phone for around 20 hours. So, I think that job can be what I use to make enough money to help fuel whatever else I want to do. That’s plenty of money for me to live on, and I’ll have plenty left over to save and to get things I want. Then, with all my extra time and money, I can work on lots of other projects. It should be really sweet. I’m excited to not have to worry about money any more. Even though I think it took a lot of courage for me to go this long without seeking out a job for necessity, it has kind of sucked. It has been really hard to not buy anything. However, once I do start making money again, I want to create a very specific and strict budget. I always just buy what I think is absolutely necessary. Now, it’ll only be necessary if I can fit it in my budget. I mean, I bought a two-year membership to 24-hour fitness, total immersion DVD, and took a trip to the Kokopelli tri, all while I didn’t have any money. None of those were necessary, but I felt like they were. So, I need to budget my money out very specifically, and I plan on budgeting out $1,000 a month. So, that should be plenty of money to spend on dating, travel, and triathlon. Anything I make above and beyond $1000 I want to use for investments and education. I want to put some money in the stock market and start playing around and learning a little bit more about that. I also want to get some different certifications and stuff. So, that’s my plan at this point.
