Need some encouragement, advice
Hey ladies!
I am trying to make 6k by July 17, planning a vacation, etc etc. My cam is good, use the one off my Mac, speed is great, and I'm going to be pulling in 30-40 hour weeks. Is 6k realistic in 7 weeks? I average 20-50hr and I'm working my ass off to pull this off. Just wanted to hear other success stories, and encouragement! Thank you ;)

I have to save up a large amount this summer as well. Set your goal to $1,000 a week and see what you can do! If you are pulling 30-40 hour weeks at 20-50 hr, then yes, logically you should be able to make 6k by mid July.
If you want a buddy to keep your accountable, maybe PM me? We sound about matched in terms of earnings. :)

It's extremely possible to make $6k in 7 weeks...also, you have to consider your bills and cost of living. If you are averaging $30 per hour (some days may be $20 per hour, some days $50) in a 40 hour week, that's $1200 per week x 7 weeks= $8400. Subtract your bills including food during that 7 week period= ??? (only you would know) It is possible to do it, the numbers are there.

Be careful, it sounds like you could be claimed as a dependent by your parents. This means you'll have to give them your 1099s from camming when they file taxes!

Not a dependent anymore after last year but thank you!

All about the math, bb!!
Now till mid-July = 6 weeks (a little longer, but it is always good to plan with a buffer included!!).
You say you can do 30-40 hours a week, 20-50 an hour.
So the minimum that you should make is $3,600. (30 hours x 6 weeks x $20 an hour)
The maximum that you would make (assuming no major big tippers) is $12,000!!
6-8K is pretty much smack in the middle of that, so that seems like a decent target to me!
Set yourself targets to keep on track - whatever works best for you.
- Target of hours per week
- Target of $ per week
- Combined target (aiming for 30 hours at $40 an hour, for example, and doing more hours if your average drops)
Of course, as others have said, you do have to include calculations for taxes and bills/living expenses, which will up your targets considerably. But I love me some math - just do yours, and then stick to your targets and you can do it!!
