Asking Parents For Money

Not asking my parents for money has been a point of pride for me. My mom has been setting a few dollars a side for me, and I figured saving for a house would be a good reason to ask for that money. The following is a paraphrasing of that ask.

Me: Hey, Mom. You know how you had that money set aside for me?

Mom: Yes, what about it?

Me: I was wondering if I could put it in my savings for a house.

Mom: Of course, if it's for that purpose, but don't expect anything else unless I will it!

Me: Wait... Do you mean if you choose to, or if you die?

Mom: Sips Tea Yes.

The Struggle With Side Hustles

Side hustles have been a consistent challenge.

Tutoring is slow during the summer and my work.travel schedule limits my availability.

Crocheting, though relaxing and artistically appreciated, doesn't provide anything money-wise.

Likewise, I enjoy writing novels, but I don't have the skills or resources to move books.

Maybe I should go all in on YouTube? SocialBlade puts me at 100 subscribers by the middle of 2021, so there might be something there.
