I am at that point where I wanna try a job/ open a business (actually have a side business with my s/o, but he takes care of it, since I am camming and it's in the begining, so it'll all costs and investments and no way to live off it), but nothing brings the SW money, so I am just stuck here, hoping to save asap $2-300k, so I can do whatever I want and just login when I feel like it. Aka, at least 5 more years. I need a mental break from this. And it's not the SW overall, it's the camming thing. I can't stand camming anymore for long hours (Been so burned out, that in the summer I have been camming for 4-5 hours a day only. From october i get back to 8-10). But for now, my indy eggs aren't hatching anything spectacular, so I can afford to cam twice a week or something :)))) I'm holding in there :)))
Meanwhile, I am turning 28, thinking to have a baby, so, that would put me on hold for 6 months to a year, depending how fat I get during pregnancy and how fast I recover :))))))))))) Because I will stop working in the moment my belly shows, thankfully, I can afford to take a year off, but unless my clip hustle will make me money (or the vanilla business to start being profitable), I won't produce anything, wich puts the savings plan on hold.
Simple, but complicated. It wouldn't be me if I didn't overthink every shit, beat myself up for not being more consistent in the past and be way more ahead now. Yep. Tomorow I'll wake up, confident again :))
I feel this! Especially about not being more consistent in the past. When i first started on aw way back when i pulled in so much in just 3 - 4 hours. If I'd only stuck to it and done it every day, like so many others I've seen, I'd have been out and done within 5 years max. I'm optimistic though, we can still do it. I've been trying for a baby too except ours isn't so easy, I'm also older than you and the little time i have left to cam is definitely looming large! But you know I'm rooting for you:)

You look young af, don't you think i won't drink botox every day every night, soon? HAHAHA :)))) So yeah, the age is in your ID and your head, your face shows 25 like real.
Speaking of baby, I really keep you the fingers crossed and hope to hear the good news! Honestly, I have no idea how easy mine will come, or if I can make one at all, I guess I'll start investigating soon, when I will start planning for it.

I worked all through my pregnancy (on and off of course! my last month I barely worked.) Then was back at it part time by week 5 post op. Don't think you have to take 1/2 a year to a full year off unless you want to!
However I do second saving absolutely everything that you can after you become debt free and remain debt free. I love seeing you have a goal but no matter how much you have, it never seems to be enough. God houses and cars are so expensive that awesome you save that money, then it's gone once you buy a house. Always have an exit strategy! Thinking ahead and staying ahead is the key.

You're right. I know I can, my best friend worked till she almost gave birth on cam and members had no clue she is pregnant, because she stayed slim on face and was showing herself only from the bust (she also has implants and the boobs were covering the belly). Also wore only black tops that were concealing the belly :))
Depending how puffy I am getting (I am putting all the weight on upper arms and face unfortunately), I might also be able to pull the same strategy. I don't want the members know I am pregnant, is not their business actually and there is a shit ton of creeps.
Speaking of taking 1/2 year off, after almost 10 years in the industry, I will more than gladly take that 6 months break. I call it "the benefits of being a cam whore" 8)8) In fact, we tend to forget that this is why we actually work this hard and save this hard, so we can afford those extra long breaks when we get burned out. With a normal job we could never be able to do this, unless it would be very well paid, so...;D;D
PS: I am not pregnant now, haha, I am thinking to get in the next 1-2 years :))
