I speak Portuguese...I'm not sure it's helping me, but maybe it is and I don't realize it...hmmm... You're right...don't quit your day job, unless you have another job lined up that pays more, then yes...quit the job. I haven't read enough of your stuff to know where you live, but your rent sounds cheap compared to what I pay in California...but then again, that's true compared to most places outside of California...
All that to say, congrats on your increases! Keep the thrill going!
Thanks. Haha the Portuguese part was a call-back to a joke in another post. :)
Yeah. I'm a student. I pay a bit less than 400$ rent for a little studio apartment in Germany.
I actually saw the other post :) $400 for rent is great-reminds me of my college days 20 years ago. I paid 375 for one bed in a shared bedroom. There were 6 guys in the front of the house, 4 in the back and 2 in the basement. The owner was raking in the cash! I pay 6x your rent for my mortgage payment now...but I absolutely love my home!
