The Future Has It's Price

Things seem to be jammed together lately. It is almost Christmas, I just started my apprenticeship, and I am running out of money; fast.

It just hit me the other day when my bank account held just under $100, an amount that I haven't been used to in 3 years. I am fairly good at spending, maybe treating myself to more than I should, as well as being too generous. This habit needs to end. Now. Lately, I have even been too lazy to make myself a meal to bring to work, forcing myself to go out and buy fast food. That, too, has been backfiring, resulting in minor food poisoning. What to do...

For this Christmas, I have decided to go about the cheap but meaningful route. Making things for people is my specialty, and so that is what I shall do. I figured that people would appreciate that more than just buying them something that someone else can give them. And it's something that I can afford.

All in all, the whole money issue is starting to wear me thin, almost literally. I need to get used to living the life of an apprentice and living cheap. And the more art I produce, hopefully the more I will sell, making a small income. It will be a tough road for sure, but in the end it will have all been worth while.
