I had to come to terms with the reality of my financial situation last winter. There was no way I was going to survive with only one income. It was time to find different ways to gain more money since life was becoming more costly. The pinch of inflation is being felt worldwide in addition to the prices of everything going up, even for basic commodities like food in addition to non-food items that my buddy and I all need. When this reality hit, I was facing a major financial decision in my household that would mean using up almost all of my savings. See, last winter I had to hire a heating, ventilation, and A/C worker many times to maintain the seasoned heating system in my home. In this area, you can’t survive the winter season without some type of heating system. It’s even better to have a wood stove in addition to a supply of wood to use during the 5 months of dire winter. So, I had to contact the heating, ventilation, in addition to the A/C business, each time there was an issue with my heating system. The cost of heating maintenance was high, so he provided me with solid advice. There was no need to keep paying for heating repairs yet it was clear what I needed was a current heating unit. It would cost me a lot of money to replace the aging unit, but I’d refrain from paying for heating repairs each time there was an issue. This is when I had to use the savings I had to upgrade my heating system; in addition, I realized I needed to gain more money, then perhaps I’d go back to singing in addition to playing guitar in bars which used to earn me good money in the evening in addition to on the weekend.
