I have 3 months of money saved up for bills, and whatnot. Something I learned forever ago. Make sure you have 3 months worth of saving for emergency's or for things like this. But thank you for the advice. Never thought it was going to be easy. I also have sporadic income coming in from other...

I will for sure do that. I kinda like hunting down trends and whatnot. I find it fun. lol

Awesome advice! I knew I was going to have to go back on facebook. Left like 3 years ago. But, I could start a non personal account for marketing. Just haven't been looking forward too it. I looked at fivver, but upworks seemed more professional? I don't know, I'm sure I'm wrong on this. The...

You would think that, but it's actually the opposite. Small town midwest. You Shmoe car lot has zero problem having the nephew paint a wooden sign with some weird horrid cartoon character on it, and call that branded. Photography, I do well during wedding season, and senior pictures. But that...

Good on you, wish I would of had more forward thinking at a young age.

I went to areas that where hurt by floods or hurricanes, and did asbestos abatement, It's really tough work, once you put on a suit, and go into containment. You just work your ass off till break or lunch. Usually 90+ degrees in containment, you can't have air or anything running while working...

I have savings for 3 months without making a penny. Plus, I do design work on the side. It just isn't steady work. But with three month lead way, and freelance work, I hope I'm find. lol Thanks for the advice though, it doesn't go on deaf ears.

Oh my friend, it's true. Sad, but true. The real truth of the matter, I got in a slump, I was drinking EVERYDAY, while I was doing cunstruction, it was just what you did, you end up in another state working on a job, you don't know anyone, you end up at the bar. It got real bad. So, I stopped...

That's the plan, and oh boy, is there a LOT of information to learn. Thankfully I love learning new things.

Thank you, I see you have been around awhile, I'm curious. How many people would you say come onto a forum like this, and just assume they are going to find like a program with a button they click and they are all of the sudden rich? I have a pretty full life under me, and have yet to meet one...

That's no lie. Thinking that could be one of the reasons I have never won the lottery. I never actually play.

Thank you, that's the goal. Just have to narrow down what I'm comfortable doing, and what wouldn't drive me bonkers doing everyday.

Thank you, from the reading I have been doing on the forum, it seems if you put in the work, luck doesn't have much to do with it. That being said, I will take all the good luck I can get. :)

Hello all, I'm a 40 year old guy from the Midwest USA. I finally snapped, I have wanted to be a graphic, and web designer for years, also do freelance photography when I can get work. (Not a lot of photography gigs in small town Iowa). I tried doing the freelance thing for design, just couldn't...
