sick of earning money just for paying bills

to be honest I'm really sick of it. I don't know how things are going in your country but over here they are terrible. I'm lucky enough because I have a place to stay of my own thanks to my parents and I don't have to pay rent because I don't know what I would have done otherwise. now I have a decent salary for my country but still this doesn't allow me to do all the things I want. I would love to earn a little bit more. how about you? are you happy with the income you have?

Hi Alina. I am happy with what I have since I do work at home. Always thankful for what I have but still not bad to have a little extra.

I guess money is always never enough. I guess I am also trying to earn more, so I can settle my bills, spend a little bit and save at the same time.

@swissheart Not much, but it's spending more than saving. The money that I am supposed to save, I actually put it in investments, so I don't know if you consider that savings.

Hi! @swissheart I feel your pain. I like to work at something I enjoy to earn money. Making money online writing is something that I'm working towards for financial independence... @Jlyn and others have been supportive... Check out my post below
With social media being the way for almost everyone to communicate, people are mostly using it to get paid working from home. I've been trying to find a way to...

If you have any doubts about any sites, you can always post a discussion here and perhaps, the others here might be able to give you some advice or share their experiences about such sites.
Is there a way out for those with very brilliant ideas but do not have the needed capital, is there a way of going about this at this to get started with the...

@swissheart I'm content but not actually "happy" due to not getting big results yet. I'm trying to be patient. I'd like to be able to work somewhere that pays consistently but due to my circumstances that's not a choice. I'd love to have the results that I see some people seem to have online but I know that not everyone's truthful... "Fake it until you make it"... I like the flexibility. Fortunately, I have something to fall back on for money but it's not enough. You can also see my other post
I've been writing almost all my life. It's what I most enjoy but have procrastinated on submitting &/or showing my work to almost anyone. My writing is very...

I am sorry to know about that! Why it is so? Is this because of inflation in your country dear friend?

Once you are more experienced you can get a job with a higher salary. You are staying with your parents and you don't have to pay rent. My nephew aged 21 pays my sister rent. Try saving some money in a savings account. Then you can get some money together for your future. I managed to pay off my mortgage in 2017 however since then I haven't felt any richer.

Well done for saving a small amount of your salary each month. I am not sure what the Romanian government is like.

I could always use more. There are plenty of things I want to do that I don't have the extra money to do with.

@swissheart keep all your pennies everyday in a jar. Or set aside a dollar or two everyday. Pretend that it is not there. It will come in handy.
