That is what I owe for student loans. Its more than what I said earlier. The loans were moved to forbearance for a number of reasons and I am not currently paying on them. So, interest happened.

Two master’s degrees later… (what happened)

Like many others, I don’t make a lot of money. I just left my low paying job, taking a big risk that I might not make any money. What I owe is probably closer to what a new therapist makes in a year in this part of the country.

I have just spent hours online looking at ways to make more money on the side as I patiently wait for the group practice to grow. There are a lot of ideas as to how to make money….

Become a blogger, youtuber, freelancer of sorts. Sell t-shirts. Write courses, books, and ads. Resell items that you bought cheaply or created. Take surveys, watch videos, drive for uber or lift. Rent out your time, home, car, and or clothes. Flip houses. Sell everything you own.

I started this blog with the hopes of monetizing it one day. I need to niche down further. I signed up for Google Adsense and ended up with ads for AIDs patients with diarrhea, Alzheimer treatments, and opioid abuse treatment centers. The ads did not match the content. What is my content? And with the lack of one central theme, a product to sell, or a developed course just doesn’t make sense.

What this means for me is that I have to keep writing until a central theme or umbrella comes out of this. I am trying to get a better picture of who I wrote this blog for (other than myself).

What this means for you? Not sure yet. Can you please hang around while I figure things out?
