You need to get a job.
A job will earn you money and keep you busy.
With money you can move out and be able to afford hobbies and critters.

I agree with this because with a job you would have a lot less time to be looking online at animals.

Even though we all will miss you, you will still have 10 minutes in your day to be able to say hi to us.

Then by this time next year you could be moved out into your own place and you can show us how amazing everything you care for is!

I may be a housewife now, but I worked from 15 years old until I was 28 and married.

Technically I still work because I do a lot around the house.

Honestly, being a housewife is harder than when I was working

Maybe get some therapy. Maybe something mentally is going on kind of like a mid-life crisis, but you are not old enough for that so it's something a little bit deeper

Yeah, maybe idk. That’s actually another thing I’ve been meaning to do but haven’t. One of many.

Split this up so it wouldn’t be an encyclopedia.

Yeah, that’s true. I do dog walk and pet sit so I actually have a lot of money saved from that and some from holidays/birthdays but I haven’t had as many jobs lately (barely working actually) and it’s not very reliable so I do need to find a real one.

Ideally I’d like to do it full time/start my own business and/or get certified as a trainer and do more that side of things, but I don’t think that’s realistic and even if it was, in the meantime I do still need a real one. So I do need to get serious about finding one.

But that said, I do want to stay here a little while longer at least because I want to save a ton more before I move out, but at the same time, I don’t want to stay so it’s tough.

I know that if I do move though, I won’t be able to take my chickens with me or have a garden because I will likely be moving into an apartment and that’s tough.

I could move to one near here and still drive to my parent’s to care for/visit the animals though but I don’t think I want to stay here.

Ideally, I’d love to just buy a piece of land somewhere and not waste money on an apartment but I know that’s not feasible either and if I wait for all these “ideals”, I’ll never get anything done.

YES!

I definitely need to work on it.

The thing is though, I ordered those ones at like 2am so it really was an impulsive thing and I don’t know that a job would help that. Although I guess maybe it would because I wouldn’t be able to stay up till 2am or 4 anymore.

I think what I really need is a schedule/structure and to start sleeping at a reasonable hour and eating better. I was doing better with all of it for a little bit and felt great but now I’ve gone right back to not sleeping (because lately I also keep waking up earlier and unable to fall back asleep so get barely any when I go to bed so late) and eating like crap and definitely feel it. My mood, energy levels, especially mental health has been drastically affected too.

And only 10 minutes!? that’s so little time!

Hopefully I’d have more than that but probably good if I didn’t I guess hah

And that’s very sweet but the novels everyone definitely wouldn’t

And I guess so but I wouldn’t be able to have chickens or anything so the only thing I could have is maybe the cat or a dog and the fish.

Although I may get a caged animal if I did that hah

I really should have had one a lot sooner.

But I think it’ll probably be easier and/or more fun than I am imagining.

If you did have a job, you would not be staying up until 2:00 a.m. because you would be too tired.

Thanks and I’m sorry about the huge giant massive novel and all the other ones today.

And sorry if I was a little weird about it or defensive or whatever at all.

You’re right and I know you didn’t mean anything by it but it’s just the part about the older ones crammed in kind of upset me a little bit because I do love my animals and try to care for them and I like to think they’re happy but idk. I think maybe I’ve gotten in a bit over my head with all these new animals lately between the chicks and the fish (which I still haven’t even finished setting up/decorating tanks). I just.. I’ve been thinking about a lot today/had a lot of realizations.

Maybe they all deserve better

Hmm that’s true haha

I really really need to actually work on finding one and stop just saying it.

But first I need to get the coop built for these little ones or else just sell them all and be done with it ha

I will give my opinion on the chicks...

You already have full-grown chickens at your house so maybe pick a couple (2) then sell the rest. Get the money back that you paid for them and deposit it into your account and don't touch it!

With all this money that you are spending on all these animals, you would already have a place to live! Look at all the other useless junk that you have bought (technically it's not useless junk but it's useless to you because you have not used it yet)...

My goal for this year was to save up as much money as I possibly can and with that comes me telling no to myself... I will allow myself to buy some things, but most stuff I tell myself no. You tell yourself no and then you go and put that money into the account. Whatever money you were just about to blow, go put it in your account. It doesn't even matter if it's only $10, go put it in your account because all of that will add up at the end of this year!
