Feels good to quit your job!

[Juan]

I quitted the job I was at, they had me as a part time cashier and thought it wasn’t worth it if I want to get a car asap and other goals. The first day of quitting might feel weird depending your relationship with your job but the next day (today) I feel really pump now that I have a white canvas to comeback and keep making art, I was already doing it while working but idk, I felt I wasn’t doing my top notch best, maybe there is a psychology behind that.

 I purchased some graphic designs courses so will see how it goes, I really wanna make a living out of my art once it for all, but idk how long I will survive with the money I have currently so, will give it a week or so before start looking for another better job. Maybe I should had saved more money so I don’t get worry for pay my rent for a while but it’s fine, I’m trying my best to follow my intuition and today it just feels like a good day.  

If anyone want to check out what I do, here is my portfolio:

@Juan Some simple math of your expenses vs savings will let you know how long your savings will last.

I know that! I know how long I will last, but sometimes I even go the extra mile without having money just to see if a art gig appears but, I won’t let that happen this time, it feels frustrating when you have zero dollar.

@Michael569 what’s hard about 6-12 months in savings is that… if you are broke chances are that will take years of decades to save up if you don’t have a high income.

@Michael569 The reality is, it takes years and decades to make a beautiful life. Especially when you try to do it and you are already 20+ years old. It'll take years to live off it. But, you can make a start now with learning, etcc. Many people will fail and live miserable shitty lives. But, you can succeed.

@Michael569 Thanks, I did not planned well, not even to pay the rent next month, I got too involved in my negative talk and emotions towards the job I was. I’m aware that shit will hit the fan when I need to keep paying rent so yeah, I’m gonna look out a job asap this week and hopefully it is a full time. The issue is that I consider myself picky with getting jobs because, if it’s not something I consume, I don’t work on it but I guess I gotta modify that belief in order to survive for now. 

I have a gig right now as a freelance so, will do my best to complete it so I can receive new commissions.

You should try making money using your primary skill: graphic design, also probably it is a good idea to be up to date with AI tools in this area, as this will greatly excel your productivity. Staying without a job and money income flow is a no - no.

Chasing the money is where the real deal is, that is where you will enhance your skills and you will create impact.
