I earn $1300/month with freelancing
But how do I feel about it?
Earning money online was a dream come true for me. Wait, I didn’t even dream about it. Hell, I didn’t even know this was possible.
I experienced a financial crisis at a very early stage of my life.
I saw my father go into debt due to all his wrong financial decisions: impulsive shopping, unplanned spending, investing without evaluating the pros and cons, living on credit cards, you name it.
And I have had many of these tendencies, such as impulsive shopping and poor money management skills. And I wasn’t bothered for the longest.
But one thing I was scared of was debt.
Do you know how many Americans spend their days trying to pay off debts?
I am not an American, but I am starting to see this culture in India. People want to live a life that is out of their reach, and I am not sure if I like it.
I can’t imagine being like that.
So, you see, I’m happy earning $1300/month.
It’s more than what people around me earn, so in no way is it bad.
I feel happy, very happy with how much I earn.
Here is a screenshot of the average base pay in India.
