They say that in order to really achieve something, you need to be able to visualize it. At the moment, I am working my behind off tutoring and writing advertising posts for my other blog. The blogging income is at about $1000 a month, which is awesome. The tutoring is at $400. So this means that theoretically, I could have almost 17K saved by the end of next year, plus whatever I get back in taxes. Of course, I’d better start figuring out deductions for that writing money!
It is easier for me to save when I have a goal. Right now, the goal is having a house of my own again. I think it’s safe to say that I have consistently wanted a house for a while. Still, I can’t help the little thoughts that say, “But you could take that writing income and go to Mexico….”. This interference could seriously interfere with my goal.
I don’t know how to get rid of the doubts. Life is good, but I always look for greener grass. I always have. I worry about the schools here, but they are worse in other places. I don’t like American culture, but it seems that many other countries have adopted it, so what the heck? And I really don’t like Middle-Eastern culture, so perhaps it isn’t so bad, really.
I’m rambling. Maybe it’s the migraine. I still have the stupid thing.

Hey, how do you make money writing blog ads? I guess I should go over to your other blog and see… I definitely need some “work at home” work… too bad it would take away from all the crocheting and knitting I’m doing lately!
Oh, and I vote for Mexico. Like the beaches in Y Tu Mama Tambien… But that’s sort of escapist, which R is not down for. Otherwise, I’d love to move to Vancouver or St. Lucia or something…
