Stop working your life away, and start making time to spend that money doing what you want
Money money money. I need that money to pay debts and keep traveling. If it were to stop traveling, I would already be at least halfway to zero debt balance. But for what? I’m going to buy a house? Nope. Am I going to have a child in the near future? Nope. Do I have…

Are we at the bottom yet?
Spent about 3 hours today (and a hell lotta money) balancing the embarrassment that is my current stocks portfolio. Did a good job (considering my liquidity). But It’s bad, and it keeps getting worse. Incredibly enough, I could have cashed out a few weeks ago and break even overall, turning profits on a couple of…

Back home (for now)
It’s my first night sleeping in my apt since about a month and some change. Took me around 3 hours to ‘move back in’ with all the bags to unpack, clean laundry, new stuff, past messes that needed sorting… Missed my space. And there is still lots to do, but that’s for tomorrow. I’m thinking…

Traveling means (most of the time) great food and art
When I’m on a trip, about 60% of my planning revolves around my meals (including cocktails); the other 30% is art, and the remaining 10% is entertainment. Let me give you an example for, let’s say tomorrow, Monday. If there’s no food in the apartment, we’re staying in, then the first thing I plan tonight…

Currently traveling between time zones [post under construction]
![Currently traveling between time zones [post under construction]](https://bustibusti.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/img_4135.jpg?w=1024)
Yes, another trip. Both flights delayed over 20 minutes, both with crying babies. I have a 100% situation on airplanes record during 2022. Hating every second of it. Still need to land, pick up bags, Uber, check in, the whole thing… Brb

Your Credit Card statement has arrived; click here to make payment
Why is that I’m earning more money now, but my expenses keep getting higher, and credit card payments bigger? How does this work? Before, I earned less, and had less to pay. Now I work more, get paid more, have less free time, but more debt. – Checks credit card statement- 3 premium streaming subscriptions,…

Gearing up for what’s coming in the next couple of weeks
And just like that, with two different text messages while I was waking up this morning at 9am (lmao), I lost 4 weeks of side income. My two clients extended their break period for 2 weeks more till mid June. Damn! Don’t get me wrong, it’s a much needed and well-deserved rest (but I only…

Summer forecast: looking good
It’s a good thing I did a lot of trips in May (one more still to go next weekend) ’cause I’m pretty much booked solid till July. Clients Monday through Friday, plus activities and/or more clients during the weekend; a much needed revenue to pay the piper (IRS) and alleviate the weight of my traveling…

Mercy, I yield.
*Note: Yes, I missed my posting every 24-hour streak. But technically no, because I changed time zones, and the post scheduler wasn’t set up right. On top of that, the airport and car rental was a nightmare. Will make another post out of it soon. This one was written on the plane. So, in spirit,…

Possibly, indirectly screwed via COVID proxy
I still haven’t gotten COVID, even though everyone in my inner circle has gotten it. Who says being an introvert and staying inside 90% of the time doesn’t pay off? Get this… The housemate of someone that visited my house TWICE this week has just tested positive for COVID. Don’t mind her. It wasn’t the…
