Personal Rant after buffer image

Kinja'd!!!

It coming to that time again that I need to start looking for a new place to rent since my .... rentee? Wants to move out of her apartment and thus I’ll need a new place. Unfortunately where I live a 200 sqft studio would be $1000 a month with a $2000 deposit and probably a combination stool, blood, and urine sample (Futurama joke). But still it is ridiculous and I can barely afford the stupid shitty apartment room I have now. I know I could afford more if I sold my car, but then I’d have no car to get to work. I really hate this town and I just wish I could make enough to actually live here....On top of that I work full time, go to school part time to try and finish my AA, and try to have friends. I have enough to stress about. Anyway, just needed to vent a little. Stupid California.

Is it too much to ask for to make a good living being a photographer?! Fuck that means buying a new camera too... Lost all that in the ruining of a relationship. Oh well

I know how you feel. My family has grown out of our current digs. Now I have to sell the house, pull money from my business and spend $50k more than I want to on a house that needs work because it costs $$$ to live in the good school districts.

I love my house. I bought it right before my oldest was born and there are a lot of memories that I am leaving there.

Move?

Why pay a premium to live in a town you hate?

Nah, that place has a garage. You’ll be alright.

This is my solution:

You’re probably using the wrong caliber. Or maybe the grain is too light.

I don’t know. Custom 180 grain .30-06 will pretty much take down a Moose....

My wife works as photographer, but she hustles...hard. She does her own family and kid photos, on call birth photos, and is is a second camera for a wedding photographer. She also makes and sells boutique kids clothes and gets paid to do henna. She’s an artist at heart and has been able to use her skills to make a living and travel. You can make it work but you have to hustle. My mortgage on a 10k sq ft lot is about the same as your rent though.

Well my current rent is $300 a month for a room. Yeah I know I’d have to hustle, but I’d still love it.
