Cutting back

I want my own studio. I want it badly enough that we are going to start cutting out a few things here and there to “save” on a monthly basis. With Taekwondo finished, that saves a bundle! You’d be oddly surprised at the cost on a monthly basis.

Next out — our cleaning service. 🙁 That’s going to hurt. But we’re going to *try* to keep up the every 2 week schedule for “deep cleaning” and each “own” a part of the house for it… so it’s not just one person doing all the cleaning.

Next out? Not sure yet, but we’re digging through our finances to see.

It’s feels weird WANTING to cut down my salary — you’d think, with an MBA, a family of 5, etc. etc. I’d want to earn more and more. Sure, yeah, that’s somewhat true, but I know I can’t make my current salary by working for myself — at least not in the first couple years. It’ll happen, but we have to take a step back to take steps forward.

I only hope by current streak of “bad luck” goes away.
