@Linebaugh Just finished the first stage of my plan, which was transitioning out of humanities and into programming. Took a year & about 30k of credit card debt for the turnaround. I've just finished paying that off after a year on the job, so I suppose I'm two years in. Now that finances are stabilizing, gonna try to crank down my hours, maybe transition to parttime or contract in the near-future, and find somewhere I can live frugally. Mexico? Wisconsin? Spend the rest writing, doing music, being free. That's the hope anyway. Still six months on the lease here in New York, and the s/o is finishing up a degree, so it'll be a minute til that happens, but
