Making it big
Contributed by Milford Woods
Not too long ago, I was a starving college student just trying to figure out how to make rent. I’ve come so far…now I’m a starving artist trying to figure out how to make rent! I live in Austin and it’s tough being in the music scene. Gigs are few and far between and they really don’t pay all that well, so I have to get creative with ways to save money. The freelance writing really helps me pay the bills and I also tutor some during the weeks, but I’ve also done some number crunching to figure out where I was overpaying in other aspects of my life. For example, I found a better energy rate by doing some online research at sites like www.shopelectricityRATESTEXAS.com and I’ve started making all my own meals, which is a major money saver. Hopefully all this saving will pay off in the long run when I hit it big in the music industry! I’m sure everyone dreams of fame but for me, I really mean it!
