I want a newer computer.
I want a car that is not borrowed from a family member.
These priorities of course conflict. There are other desires and needs in my life (like not spending all my time under my mother's roof) that eat at my money situation, so things are not well in my world. I would like to make my living as a proofreader, but every avenue I've explored so far seems to have such a high bar of entrance that it is apparent to me that probably I shall never get there. Then there are the haters in the world. Always always the haters... And will one of them catch me unaware and beat me to death?
