Today I cancelled a few things that weren’t “musts” to pay for monthly: A monthly charge for a Reverbnation EPK (an Electronic Press Kit for artists), a monthly charge for Skype that allowed me to have multiple video feeds at the same time, and finally 4 different charities that I have been contributing to monthly.
One of my charities.
That last group — the charities — hurts by far the most to stop contributing to. I worked so hard to get myself into a place where I could contribute back to the world with raw cash. But I mean to re-launch the charity contributions when I am generating revenue. Part of me believes these tiny savings are irrelevant in the big picture, but I want to be prudent. C’mon universe — I’m working on you!
