I have a full time JOB right now, plus i sell websites for my own company, write essays for college students, knit scarves, mow lawns, advertise, sell chilies, and work on cars to add extra cash flow to my pockets. i don't care about making millions, its not my ambition nor my desire. i simply want enough to live the life i am designing for myself. a life where i can travel once a month, learn a new language, taste new foods, master some skills, and be on adventures with the people i love.i have zero experience but i am willing to learn. i want a mentor or a person who can guide me and teach me everything they know. i absorb info very fast an am very positive in my approach to life.

Communication has been a struggle, and some disputes, such as it was clear from the track marks his boat trailer damaged some sprinkler valves and he blamed it on my lawn mowing contractor, and it wasn't even the money, a broken window he claimed it just broke and when I went to have it fixed ran into his daughter who obviously wasn't clued in and said to me she was sorry to have damaged it...things like that.After thinking it over I am leaning to making a clean break, no storing at my place.
