How to Not be Poor Anymore (The Long Road)
Once upon a time, my current monthly income was my annual income.
I was just struck by lightning.
No, no. Not really. Don’t worry.
But it sure felt like it.
I just this minute realized that last month — in June 2019 — I earned as much in 30 days as I earned in a year exactly twenty years ago, in 1999, when I was a single mother.
I’ve 12X’d my income in twenty years, which maybe doesn’t sound like much, when you say it like that. But it shook me to realize it.
Especially because I’ve 12X’d my income my own way. Writing. Teaching on my own terms. Starting a business.
