the encouragement.
I almost feel guilty that I'm not earning more than I am at the moment. Beijing was awesome. Spent a third of my life there. My wife was a vice president at an American film subsidiary there, and I was building up a solid foundation for a business with high prospects. Going from that type of income, and then coming back to the US with my wife being unable to work until her work authorization comes through means we've been getting by on what is essentially a part-time-plus NSA income. Not exactly rolling in the dough.
That's a pretty big ask from me to her. The environment is great. Healthy, clean. but it's a seat-of-the-pants kind of learning experience. Something I enjoy but is by no means stable right now.
It's tough to stay motivated to stay on my own, rather than breaking down and seeking a 9-5, but I can see the potential, and feel it's worth the present struggle. |
