Considering that you have been inactive for over a year, has your references been an issue with anyone you have requested to see?  Also how has the lack of disposable income influenced your frequency to interact with your favorite providers?

ago. I really didn't started hobbying until I settled down with the finance department. Everything had to go through smooth in order for me to splurge. Hell, I remember one time, I didn't eat at restaurants for several years because I had to save money to do other things.

It takes a bit of struggling to get where you want to be. Hell, I am still struggling now. Luckily for me, I made many sacrifices that enabled me to hobby regularly now. Yay for me, fart..... Not everything I desire can be fulfilled, I had to struggle many years.

As it relates to your title. Yeah, I guess so. But, I could have a bunch of material things if I didn't spend all my money on providers. But, I got all the essentials. I actually went Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago, and it took me forever just to spend $300 on coats and junk. And, I spend $300 easy with a provider, and tip her ridiculous amounts without hesitation.

Just kinda show you, money is not easy to obtain. So, am I better off 4 years ago, yes. If I didn't make any progression, there is no point to live. Progression is key to success. I have failed too many times in life, and learning from those mistakes really helps to better enable myself I guess. Anyways, happy New Years!
