It's been two long weeks since I've written my last article on here. I think that's the longest I've ever gone without writing an article on here.
In short, I've been really busy lately with a lot of different things.
First, I've been working a lot both actually at work and with planning out my future. I've been really thinking about how I'm going to finally get ahead in life.
The pieces for my future are finally starting to fall in place.
I've been saving up money from working and investing it. If all goes well, in the next year or two I plan on buying my first ever piece of property with cash. My credit score sucks, but luckily land prices are really cheap where I live. I'd love to buy an actual little house, but owning just a piece of land will be huge for me. It can finally be something that I can call my own that's valuable.
How exactly will I be investing my money though?
Well in short, trading cards. I'm slowly buying up in-demand trading cards and I plan on eventually getting them sent off to get graded as it'll improve their value by a good bit. I plan on selling those and depending on how much money I have at the time will determine whether I go ahead and buy a place or reinvest the money until I have enough to do so.
While unrelated, I also decided to finally buy a license for Game Maker Studio 2 when it was on sale a week or so ago so now I have all the tools that I need to create my own video games if I ever actually get the free time to do so. That should be a lot of fun.
Lastly, I'm slowly in the process of moving my accounts over to new ones that get away from the Fearless username that I've used for 10 years at this point. Creating a new Hive account is next on my list, but I'm in no rush to do so as I haven't been writing much lately. I like the name Fearless, but it's just too common of a username and now I've gotten myself a new unique username that wasn't even taken on Twitch when I was trying to come up with a new name so I knew it would be available. Additionally, the GU part of my username came about when I first created my Steem/Hive account as I was playing a lot of God's Unchained at the time. Honestly, I don't even care much about the game anymore as I haven't played it in 6 months. This is another reason why I'm wanting to move to a new username.
I don't think I plan on writing many more articles on this account though. I'll probably create a new Hive account sometime soon and start writing over there if I ever get the chance. I'll use what Hive I have left on here and power it down and spend that on my investments that I'm currently working on.
This ride has been absolutely incredible, but at least for this chapter of it, it's slowly coming to a close.
