Thank you @mumma-monza! Yes, well, it's a given that when you have some money, it's a lot easier to make more than when you start with nothing. The funny thing is that, at first, when I started to look for jobs a couple of months ago I merely thought of something temporary so I would be able to make it to Steemfest, travel and then go from there. But since this has come up, I will have to shorten my time in SE Asia from 3 months to 1 month, but it will be with the idea that I will stick with this for a while and then more travel will definitely be in the future. I've been self-employed since before I came to Ireland, but nothing to show for really. With this, I would even be able to buy land or a house after two years, and that will open up other opportunities. My ultimate goal is to travel the world with the kids, it still is. With the right home (the market is still quite good, meaning it's easy to buy cheap) in the right place, I would be able to make it into a holiday rental and travel while it's rented out. I had NEVER thought I would ever buy any kind of property, but now it's something that's definitely within reach!

And I'll be making money from the moment my training starts (one to two weeks from now) so it should definitely pay for the plane tickets... I am SO excited! I never really had much to look forward to here in Ireland, but now I definitely have reasons to look forward into the future, even here.
