I wanna move away but im out of $$$ (self.MGTOW)

MK_D が 投稿

Hi there. I fought lyme disease for the last 10 years. Its a pretty tough battle sometimes and i know others here are struggling with it here as well. Many people start fundraisers because they go horribly broke in the process. I thought about that too.

Im basically broke from it (500-1000$ a month was the basic stuff), i would get some goverment assistance soon (this needs time as they are slow with the paperwork) and the thing is, it looks like i have to stay here if i dont move away before it. Its quite tricky. I dont have many opportunities here and its not as easy to make music here because the lack of people (explains itself)

But thats not what i wanna do. I dont plan on staying here. I just entered the 30s and im a good musician and wanna still play in a band and follow the dream/passion. It would be cool to move away somewhere where i can be myself and rock the boat. I have a location where living is cheap, sure id have to live on rice and beans but thats worth it. Still 10 hours away from here but when youre broke its not as easy. I would have to sell a lot of the stuff i collected but even that is not worth enough to pay all the bills.

What would you do? I dont plan to make a living with music only but im confident i can build up a band again that gets good gigs and can tour a bit.

The best musicians I actually know IRL make money doing something else... it's difficult to make enough as a player to really thrive... and it's correspondingly rare.

In fact, if you can reach a point where being a performer does not cost you money, you're doing well. Gigs pay so poorly that once you deduct the cost of all your gear, travel time and expense, time setting up and breaking down, time finding venues to book you, and most significantly your time rehearsing your performance (& all those costs), you will find it's not easy to make enough to offset these investments.

If I was in your shoes I'd do what I already do.

Some marketable skill, especially those you can offer remotely, can help finance your musical aspirations. For example, I run a computer storage support division for a company and everyone on my staff has 3 things in common... they all are 6 figure folks, they are good at what they do and they all work remote.

Delivering real value for customers remotely is a robust and growing business practice. The marketplace is moving out of the low-quality, low-cost model of remote service delivery, and transitioning to a hybrid model that blends traditional delivery models (think Indian call centers), with higher end folks like me who can not only deliver much more complex and robust services, but can also teach others to do the same; it is changing the way the market forms solutions and presents individuals with career opportunities unavailable to them previously.

I'm a musician myself... wow I just realized I have been playing for 40 years this year. Started in 1976... well that freaks me out a little.

I have done both... the starving musician thing, and the hobby musician thing... the hobby thing is better in so many ways.Mostly I like the freedom that comes with money not being a deciding factor for me... I can just do whatever I want.

So I do...

\Oh yeah... rock on brother.
