Ehhh, probably, but also, despite all that, I do actually have a pretty good amount saved and I save basically all of what I make and just live off what little bit of cash my parents give me per week. So I’m doing pretty well as far as saving. I mean, it’s not a ton by any means, but probably a lot more than a lot of people my age. And I do sort of have a job. Not necessarily a real job by most standards or corporate/retail or anything but I do have a few regular clients for the dog walking/pet sitting thing and I’m trying to get insurance and business cards and make it legitimate as well as possibly get certified as a trainer. Or go back to school. Idk. Don’t really want to do that but probably should eventually. Idk. But right now I walk DB&FSIL’s dogs twice a week and they pay me a bit more since it’s two dogs now and I usually play with them/hang out/train too. And I pet sit too when they go away. And then since January I have also been letting their neighbor’s dog out to potty and kind of playing/hanging out with her once a week for a half an hour but I usually stay a little bit longer. And then our family friend’s who we’ve known for like forever have asked me to watch their dogs a couple times. So I think I’ve done that 2-3 times. So it’s not a ton of clients but it’s enough that it’s growing/spreading through word of mouth to where I think I want to make this a legitimate thing. I already have possible interest from another neighbor to watch their dog for a night this late summer, July or August, but we will see what happens with that, and then the family friend I mentioned asked me to watch their dogs for 4 days next month and I am watching DB&FSIL’s dogs for a week (6 nights) in September for their honeymoon. So I’m already getting bigger gigs than just weekends or one nighters. So I am thinking I really need to get going on making this legitimate. I have the interest. But I do tend to have the lazy and/or procrastination thing which is for sure a problem. But I am going to figure out how to work through that haha but yeah. But in between jobs I do tend to do kind of nothing which is bad. I do need to start getting up earlier and on more of a schedule so that I can actually get other stuff done rather than just doing nothing most days. Cause my life is already flying by. It’s already mid April and I can’t even really remember anything significant I’ve done yet. I’ve gone to a couple concerts and I’m sure done other stuff but even the concerts were over a month ago (March 8th and 9th) and “I’m like where did the time go???? How has it been a month already” and even my birthday was 2 weeks ago already. It is really scaring me. I need to get going and get doing something. Anything. Even if it’s just cleaning or planting a few things and not sitting on my ass. But also, I think I might possibly get a “real” job in between/in addition to the pet thing so I can save faster and move out faster. Although I’m not sure I even want to move out just yet because I have a lot of clients here and good potential and I don’t any to lose those clients. Especially since I’m thinking of moving somewhere with a much cheaper cost of living so I will be making/can charge way less. Plus minimum wage here is way higher so I kind of want to get a regular job and stay here longer. Although on the other hand I do want to move out ASAP cause I can’t take living here anymore haha but also I’m debating whether I should even waste money on rent for an apartment or whether I should just suck it up and stay here until I can like buy a house or land or something. But the other thing is my mother says you have to have a “real” job on paper for apartments. Idk if that’s true but it kinda sucks if so.
