Thanks for the heads up!!

Agreed Payday was fun back in the day! Hadn’t thought about it in maybe 30 years?! I bet it’s still out there and modernized now… like with bitcoins and dodge 🤣🤣

I used to love that game!

On a totally different note – something to be aware of, I got an email today from TurboTax saying that they were going to have an “Ask an Expert” day on Aug 30 from 9 to 5 about any questions anyone might have about freelance gig taxes. :)

Appreciate it, sir! Def. more fun when you’re in it for the enjoyment and learning than you are the $$$ :)

Well, I played mainly at church for ten years and that is a paid gig. I also got paid to play for weddings and funerals and an occasional party too.

I’m classically trained and I’ve been playing since I was six, so…I’m not concert-level but I’m competent. :) There are reels of my playing on Instagram.

Keep looking at the bright side of the experience. The fact that it isn’t a devastating event is proof that you are winning the game with personal finance and employment liberation.

Haha cool! I don’t know many people who actually get paid to *play* piano? You must be good! Was that your dream gig before you stumbled across blogging?? :)

I have had exactly one regular job, but I’ve also had three main self-employment gigs (piano teaching, piano playing, and blogging), with a short dabble in photography for pay.

So you are way ahead of me!

Thank you, sir! You are 100% right – no regrets! :)

You have more freedom now! I must say though I’ve learned when I worked on something, or a job didn’t work out, as frustrating as it is to not see the fruits of your labor or something you’ve been working on come to market. Time is money!

But you’re looking at it with a good light. You learned, your had fun, and you had experiences you may not have had before. I’d consider that a success! Can’t wait to hear about what you get into next :)
