For a few days now, I have been in thought about what my plans were moving forward in 2022 and even though I have a bunch of goals to achieve, I have been dormant in my opinion.
Being “dormant” has made me fall into a bit of a shell and even though I am gradually trying to get out of it, I feel a bit stuck still.
My major goal for this year has been to gain at least a level of financial independence and even though I wouldn’t say I am the most dependent person, I wouldn’t really say I am where I plan on being either especially since at the moment I practically cannot afford to stand on my own.
Due to that factor, I have been trying to figure out a way forward to be at least a bit financially independent but most of my plans are falling through which is a bit saddened.
For now, hive is my only source of income and even though I am grateful for this platform, I don’t think that “right now” I can live solely on it with my current earnings or if it could even help attain any level of independence on its own, to be honest.
Yes, right now I am earning above minimum wage in my country on hive but with a minimum wage set at 53 dollars monthly and with the current inflation, it actually isn’t much if you think about it.
I would always tell newbies to set their expectations low when they come to hive and focus on other aspects except for finance because while there are so many opportunities, if you come expecting certain things, you might fall short and making hive your only source of income might not be a good idea.
SO WHAT IS MY PLAN MOVING FORWARD?
My plan has always been to have multiple streams of income and to do this I would practically have to get a job which isn’t the easiest thing right now but I am still trying to push on that while still focusing on hive.
Other plans involve relocating to a different state and I have been trying to avoid this because while there could be more opportunities somewhere else, I would prefer to get a job before moving due to cost, etc.
IN THE END,
It is still just January and I still have a bit of time to go in my goal of attaining financial independence so I am trying not to be overly worried or concerned because it is still pretty attainable.
