Well, things are slow... but happening...
I made a little money last night. I'm only about $60 from having the money for next month's bills and I'm now up to almost $180 towards the house. Slowly... but getting there. At least I'm working towards it! I'm also thinking that if over the next few months I can save above and beyond my bills, I can also possibly get a video camera so I can do videos (and make more money towards the house), and also do come movie/documentary projects I've been wanting to work on... Hmmmmm.....
I'm also looking at how I would be able to actually support myself. Right now, I depend on other people to support me, (I've been a stay-at-home mom for over 11 years and have anxiety disorders). I've been playing with numbers for the house and know about how much I'd need to have coming in each month. I'm working out how I could make that number. I know I have Honey with me, and I don't mean to be negative. I'm just trying to be prepared. What would I do if we move out there, and I (and hubby) have a mortgage? Hubby lives out east with his own life handling the phone bill and child support, and I'm out west with 2 kids and a house to support. I would need to make at least $2500 a month to make it. We're only looking at a 2 bedroom, so roommates would be difficult. But if I start thinking ahead, things like Natural Bohemian, like photography... if I could get a few things going, I would have multiple sources of income to work towards being self-sufficient. Plus, as we're living there, I want to start doing things that will make life cost less... like growing some of our own food, creating our own power...
