RE: Think like a Viking: Twenty seven

in #vikings3 years ago

Many people prefer to live somewhat hand to mouth, that is to say, they prefer not to plan too far ahead and live only for the moment

Rather day to day, month to month. Of course only those people know how does this feel, what does this feel like, who live in poverty, but at least under the local minimum wage. Nowadays I live like this. The government intentionally do this, so this is financial discrimination. The pension-like income and the salary for my four hours per day job is low, while the rent and the regular monthly bills are very expensive.

But I do not give up. I have a plan to get out of the financial discrimination. To buy and live on a sailboat to avoid having to pay rent and regular monthly bills.

Nowadays I am receiving a good amount of help and support on the Hive blockchain, for which I am very grateful and very happy, so hopefully I will reach my goal in the near future.

I'm glad to hear you have a plan to to exit from your current financial situation. Are you doing more than just relying on the hive situation? From what I know it's wise to diversify.

Are you doing more than just relying on the hive situation?

I wish I could. Without the help and support from the Hive community, I would not even be sure about whether I would financially get through this winter or not. This is the result of living with an income of approximately $470 USD per month, while the local minimum wage is approximately $550 USD per month.

Yes, I recall you saying this before. Luckily a few on hive have some support for you at the moment, I hope it doesn't end.

Hopefully. I am trying to be very active (and consistent with my activity) on the Hive blockchain. I am the third in the engagement league this week. This is the first time I reached the top 10. But of course I am prepared even for the worst. I was homeless multiple times in the past, even as a child.

I hope it works out and it's good to hear you have secondary plans and options. All the best.

Although variety they say is the spice of life, but jack of all trades is a master of none. I think having an area of financial specialisation with a back up plan that is almost as good as the main plan can't be overemphasized.

A plan and back up plan is a very sensible thing to have as one never knows when things may go awry.

I totally agree with this. Kudos to you as you give us more financial nuggets.
