There has to be a better way

So as many of you know I work as a counselor for my "day job". I have always loved helping others and really enjoy my job. But it is definitely not a profession you can get rich at and I knew that as I racked up year after year of student loans.


Last week I went to a great meeting for my work. It was our annual Christmas meeting and we were told of an awesome Christmas Bonus and a raise! Wahoo is what I thought. Super duper a raise :) But as with all money... nothing is never enough ..lol


So again I am back to thinking of better ways to make a living in this world. My first thought is I should investigate my ancestry for a long lost connection to a rich uncle...lol. Or maybe buy a lotto ticket? But then I think about the men and women I know that are truly making good money and enjoying their lifestyle.

They are not working for anyone else!

Money is of course not the means to happiness, and I know that I truly understand that after losing Armstrong. I also know that money does give the means to having more time with my family, which in turn will bring me happiness. So I must figure out this balance of work and money to equal my happiness.

As for project 1432, it is moving forward slowly but surely. My official start day was December 9th (8 months after Armstrong passed away). My goal was to write 4 articles a day, which would add up to more than my goal of 1432 in a year. But here are my stats to date:

Days into project:         12
Days left of project:      353
Total Articles Written:   12
Average Articles per day: 1 :( wow that is really putting it into perspective!
Articles left to write:      1420
Article views:                 348
Article earnings:              $0.22

Statistics are always a sobering fact :)

Now I need to get my but back on track to meeting my goals :) I'll try to give a full breakdown of stats every Monday to keep you all updated (and to keep me motivated!).

Here's your caffeine for Monday and a Daily Armstrong Pic!
