IF YOUR SPOUSE IS RATIONAL ENOUGH to understand your intentions. Sit down together to discuss when he/she is in a mood for a conversation of this nature.
- Make a list of your (you and your spouse) spending priorities.
- Draw a backup plan with respect to how you can buy your drawing pad later even if it doesn't make it to the priority list or does not make it to the top of the list(if you can't afford to purchase it right now).
- If you are 200% sure that you can start making money right after you get the drawing pad and START DRAWING. let your spouse know this, so that you can both include it on your priority list or prioritize your drawing pad over other expenses.
- Be sure that you have clients waiting to get and pay for your services before you place all your bets on getting the drawing pad. you will be more frustrated getting the pad and not making money with it ASAP. Therefore, if your spouse is not a GREEDY person that would exploit your openness to discuss the issue, make sure your spouse is in on how you spend whatever you currently have. Why is because YOU WILL STILL HAVE HIS/HER SUPPORT EVEN IF THINGS DON'T GO AS PLANNED. You don't want to bear the consequences alone.
If your spouse can cover pending or other expenses while you get your act together towards earning through drawing. Then you can go ahead to get her permission and let him/her know the TRUE POTENTIAL BEHIND what you intend to do and how it would benefit you both. Don't force him/her to agree or force your decision down his or her throat. - If you can start making money immediately from drawing, you may buy the drawing pad and begin work immediately. However, make sure you have a plan B on how to take care of other urgent expenses that your current budget does not cover.
- Finally, how to spend the current bufdget you have should be a joint decision made by you and your spouse.
- Checking if you can actually make enough money to contribute to the sustainance of your family through drawing. Scale your potential income from drawing against other means through you can make money.
- make sure is not just a temporary hobby that makes you feel better about yourself, but something you can actually make money from.
- Respect your spouses' opinion about your decision. Remember you're disabled and he/she is probably the only support you have. You might not want to get on the bad side.
- I understand your intentions to support your family, but make sure your ego is not involved, allow room for mutual understanding and decision making.
- I am wishing you a success, fulfillment, and prosperity in whatever you chose to do for a living as long as it doesn't put anyone in trouble.
Hi, additional info provided above by the letter sender, please check it out ^_^
You have the support of your spouse to buy the new tab. Please do so. One fact is true til this day. You need to invest money to make money. I completely support you investing in an asset, not a liability, that way you can make money continuously to assist yourself and your family.
good luck with getting clients. Regardless of the kind of tab you buy, if you don't grow your client base. you might get stuck as well. With that being said get the new tab and worry about getting clients. Good luck mate!
