There are so many things I need to do, so many tasks to accomplish. Can I ever do them?
- I need to make enough money to pay the out-of-pocket startup expenses pack to my purse. So far, that’s about $200.
- I need to make enough money to buy a camera that is clearly mine. I’m looking at about $2500 by the time I get through with that.
- I need to make enough money to pay off my debts. How interesting that will be, as about a third has been defaulted for ten years. $50,000
- I need to make enough money to afford a place to live that isn’t a gangland slum, a place where reason and decency dwell, a place without power games. Who even knows how much that would cost?
- If ever all that is accomplished, I would like to go to the grocery store, buy a can of broth, and sip it slowly, savoring every drop of the first meal I will have had in a very long time.
No, it won’t happen that way, but I can carry the dream to my death.

Most of this looks doable. Break it into manageable chunks and set an order that will give you some instant gratification so you don’t lose momentum.
As far as places to live that don’t suck and are affordable, check out Greenfield. It’s an up and coming neighbourhood that isn’t spendy yet and there are some small but decent places to live.
Since I’m unfamiliar with the specifics of your situation, I don’t have anything specific for you. If you want some specific advice, fire me some email.
