Holy crap, being an adult SUCKS

Actually, being an adult without a well-paying job sucks.

I always knew that I wouldn't be able to have a real job for a period of time, given that my planned career in life is: Musician. Because seriously, Musician doesn't get you 40 hours a week Monday-Friday 9-5 with benefits and paid vacay. I WISH IT DID.

So I score a job, right? In this economy, at a non-profit organization, doing things that are effective and totally awesome but dealing with stupid stupid people who call me every day? Fine. I can handle that. And I'm kind of lucky, because at least I have a job! A job of some kind, for some monies, you know?

So I make this awesome plan to pay off my loans as quickly as possible by living at home so I don't have to pay rent, and my parents agree to pay to feed me. SWEET. All was well and good until THINGS started happening. THINGS being health insurance and car insurance.

With regard to health insurance, I basically make too much to qualify for Family Health Plus but not quite enough to make Healthy NY affordable. I'm going to get Healthy NY because it's pretty damn cheap and I need something in case someone who reads my blog gets the bright idea to erase my griping from the earth and I end up with unexpected injuries. Or maybe my habit of making out with swine will catch up with me this flu season. Whatever. I don't want to have tens of thousands of medical bills on top of my tens of thousands of student loans, so okay New York State, you can have $258.80 of my monthly income - and oh by the way, that's just THIS year's premiums. We don't know, they might go up next year! Great.

Also in December I turn 25, which means that I will be transferring the ownership of my car into my name so that I can own it and whatever. This means I have to pay for the insurance. Great. Add a couple hundred bucks of that per month onto my monthly things I owe. All of a sudden I don't actually have the money to do anything, let alone pay off my loans quickly. And the worst part is, if I get a better job, I won't have Healthy NY coverage - I might have something through a job that costs more!

Basically I don't know what to do. When I'm confronted with money things like this usually I become a tornado about it for a couple of days and then settle down. But I really CAN'T settle down, because I want to do a thing that I want to do, or at least a thing I don't want to do for some serious money, you guys.

Why won't somebody pay me to be freaking awesome? OH WAIT I'M HOPING YOUTUBE WILL. P.S. Subscribe to the damn channel, will ya? It really helps.
