- I invested in a new suv for myself a month ago..$3,000 down and $400 every month for the next 5 years. I’m about to pay $23,000 for my suv.
- I’m about to move out of my parents’ house and into my own in two months. I’m finally leaving this town.
- I’m paying $220 for my insurance every month. My mom is no longer covering the $40 it used to be when I had my old suv.
- I spend $150 for my own food every month. It’s expensive to eat healthy.
- I spend $400 on gas every month. It might not be the $600 I used to spend, but it’s still $400.
- My LA Fitness membership is still costing me $20 per month.
- I’ll be paying for my education at CSULB. $7,000 per semester.
- I have thousands of dollars in the bank, so I know that if I stop work at any given moment, I’ll still be able to survive stress-free.
Becoming fully independent isn’t all it’s made out to be. I have so many responsibilities and obligations. I work my tail off to get good grades and make money. I’m so grateful that I have an amazing opportunity in my current business. I’m so grateful that nobody can tell me I’m worth $8 an hour, or x amount of money for any given time. I’m really living an entrepreneurial lifestyle. I hate to toot my own horn, or whatever the fuck, but I’m successful as fuck for someone my age. damn straight.
I’m happy I’ve come to that point in my life that I don’t have to necessarily worry about money. I can throw my debit card onto the table and not worry that I won’t have enough. I tip very well wherever I go. I could care less if I need to spot someone. I don’t think it’s fair to ruin a good meal or not have someone eat cause they don’t have money. I make enough to support myself and treat myself and others out. I hope the rest of my life will be that way.
ditto.
when I was a little girl, I wanted to become a teacher. I loved the idea of influencing young minds. Years went by, and I thought I might become a pediatric surgeon. I later learned from my cousin that med school was terribly exhausting. A few years ago, I found my passion in health. I mean, there’s nothing more important than one’s health, right? I think I’d like to work with highly motivated athletes again; I think I’d like to become a sports nutritionist contracted with a professional sports team.
Sports nutritionists don’t make a ton of money. In fact, they struggle in their early years if they don’t make a name for themselves. I’m not too worried about that, I know that I can get through whatever life puts me through. But I’ve found comfort in a (kindof) extravagant lifestyle. I like buying whatever I want, when I want it. And I make that kind of money as a salesperson. I know I’ll continue my career in sales to pay my way through college, but now I think I’ll do it to support my early years as a sports nutritionist. It’s easy and flexible, so whatever.
On another note, I might move in with a friend into the Griffith Park area. He has a 4.5 million dollar house all to himself and he just wants a roommate, so he won’t even charge me rent. What an opportunity. I think I’ll do it. The commute from Griffith Park to CSULB can be an hour in traffic, but I don’t mind. I don’t think I’ll get homesick anyway, I mean I’m barely ever home now. I’ll probably move in with him after I graduate. I can’t wait to be completely independent.
