RE: My Most Consistent Hobby For The Last 5 Years
If you got that part time job it would take time away from Steemit though! Oh, no! Ha ha. It might be nice to have a little extra cash on hand though. Sometimes the extra padding in the pocket helps keep things positive. And if you have enough extra, you could even buy silver! ;)
Yes, some extra would be nice, but she's wanting to quit her full-time as soon as possible, so as soon as I get the part-time, she'll want me to look for the full-time. We've done this before years ago, when I was unemployed for a few weeks. Only that time it was get whatever job, then get a better one. It's like, okay, if I can get the better job, might as well go for it, so I did. :)
Our situation is fine. It's just not as awesome as it was. So, no we don't have two years worth of expenses in reserves, but we're more than a paycheck away from being out in the cold, too. It would be nice to strike the happy medium between have everything anytime and destitution. It's good for the soul to wait for stuff for a little while, anyway.
Makes sense. Or if both of you end up having jobs at the same time then you can stockpile money and you'll be able to get to that two year savings mark. At some point you'll want to retire for good and it will be nice to have the extra money.
And yes, learning the discipline of waiting can be good for a person. It's just tough to do in the moment.
