You also have to be resolute.

Very true. My mindset, as you well know, is fragile. On my good days I can see more clearly in a balanced way but I tend to swing from despair to, on rare occasions, "I CAN DO ANYTHING I AM A LION GRRRR" and over-commit.

That said, the daily practice of writing here has been beneficial in ways beyond financial, and that alone I think is worth sticking to. Perhaps I should do a daily pressups challenge next :)

Seriously though, this part:

Once you have resources, you are able to snowball a lot easier

Is what I am working on now, simple games and apps that people are willing to either pay for or reward in some way. I don't have it figured out yet but I figure I can do more here than content, and it would be a waste if I didn't at least try and learn something, even if my code doesn't bare fruit other than a happy diversion.
