[Kaderin Triste]

did math to see if I could drop/quit 90% of my museum job. The simple answer is not yet.

The complicated answer is: I would theoretically be able to do it once I drop all/most of my credit card debt, but my budget would be very tight (as in my job at Joann would only cover my full rent each month if I were able to work at least 5 more hours per week) unless I picked up another small income source like a highly successful Etsy shop or another very part time job (10 hours per week or so) or teaching loom knitting and/or chainmaille jewelry classes perhaps (which I actually want to do) so at least until I could figure out something else, my budget would be kind of how it was when I first got my job at Joann and wasn't working very much where both jobs paychecks were combined to make rent and groceries consisted primarily of ramen and frozen veggies. But it would almost be possible right now if it wasn't for covid making things complicated and decreasing the hours I get to work the desk.
