I know…The title makes a pretty giant assumption…
That you have something, anything that resembles a monthly budget.
But considering you do…add these:
One massage a month- go to the mall…in the carpeted expanse between the bedazzling station and brown sugar encrusted assorted nuts kiosk, there are some massage chairs. Pay the man $25 and he will massage you for 30 minutes. Tip him, because he did a good job and you’ll be coming back…monthly.
One vocal lesson a month- it’ll run you $75 or $100, but it will help you, a lot…as oppose to the $200 per month you spend on alcohol and caffeine, which is not good for your voice.
A counseling session- musicians are certified nuts, it’s important to at least get to the point where you can admit this and have a clue as to what type of crazy you are. How do you find a good counselor? Ask one of your sane friends…that’s how they got to be that way. Do you really want the cheapest counselor you can find? Be willing to spend $100ish
Make your bed in the morning- this is totally free. Also, this is now your mother speaking. Do this for a month and get back to me on how you feel. It’s been a very helpful habit for me and a lot of people I have a lot of respect for.
Don’t just pick one or two…do all of them.
Or don’t.
p.s. I almost forgot, a basic gear insurance policy will run you $12 per month. For all the things you should add to your budget immediately, you’re an idiot if you don’t add this one.
