Comment on Youtube ads finally got me

  My biggest one is $30 total. That’s also my only patreon currently. I will do more of those soon. I have a list. The youtube memberships probably add up to somewhere around that amount in total. Yes it’s probably way more than premium. I really loved the pay what you want phase of music, but at that time I was broke.

  I am a big believer of supporting talent whenever I can. I am grateful that I have the chance to do so now. My current budget for that stuff is low right now because we are working on moving.

  Thanks to the state of the US, we would have been considered middle class before, but now it’s back to lower. Your dollars don’t stretch very far. I’m lucky to have a husband who feels the same way I do. We will never be rich in money, but we help as much as we can wherever we go. We also make donations to non-profit organizations we know don’t use that money to line their own pockets. So those are the smaller places that always get overlooked. I foster kittens, and we sponsor each one. That means we pay the fees associated with adopting said kitten.

  Apologies for the info dump, but it’s a subject I love. I’ve been dreaming of the day I could do these things since I was in single digits.
