Hey, good luck! Don’t give up!

I left my fulltime job, just because I wanted to work for myself! And just because I was tired of bad management, too…

(Btw, we once have met, although just virtually…:)

Up to now things stand like this — empty bank account + some debts… But I am not losing hope! I am trying to become a freelancer, and to be able to work from anywhere… ))

Good luck, once again!

Don’t give up.

I’ve got two properties that are now up to $15/day in google adsense. I’m going to keep adding to them and try to be on pace for $35/day by the end of the year.

Heading into month 2, I’m much less confident… but thanks for the encouragement. I’ll have to check out MoneySavingExpert.

That’s fabulous, and I wish you well! Hugely exciting and terrifying in equal measure. It’s not quite a “goal” of mine yet, but it’s an ambition. When it moves up the chart past “desire” and “aim” then I make make it public!

I am confident that the creativity you have shown in your blogs will enable you to reach and surpass your goal. I look forward to the updates.

ps I always enjoy the forum post footers on MoneySavingExpert. People with great joy write things like “£4,527.50 to go until debt-free (excluding mortgage)”. That always inspires me and it’s spurred me into working towards achieving *that* goal first. Hopefully this blog will similarly inspire me!

Good Luck!

I have a very similar aim (although I set it for mid year and am far to chicken to put it on a blog). I look forward to watching your progress, and maybe getting some tips.

Hmmm, maybe I should take this as a challenge to try and get there faster?
